Hey, Rube!
"Hey, Rube!" is a slang phrase most commonly used in the United States by circus and traveling carnival workers (" carnies"), with origins in the middle 19th century. It is a rallying call, or a cry for help, used by carnies in a fight with outsiders. It is also sometimes used to refer to such a fight: "The clown got a black eye in a Hey, Rube." In the early days of circuses in America (c. 1800–1860), it was very common for carnies to get into fights with the locals as they travelled from town to town. Circuses were rowdy, loud, and often lewd affairs, where country people could gather, blow off steam, and voice political views. Mark Twain's classic description of a circus and other shows in his 1884 novel ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' provides illustration. It was a rare show that did not include at least some violence, and this often involved the members of the circus.

Hey Rube (book)
''Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness'' is a book written by Hunter S. Thompson, consisting of 83 articles split into three parts. The articles were first published on ESPN.com's ''Page 2'' under Thompson’s column ''Hey Rube''. First published in mid-2004, the book contains articles from November 20, 2000, to October 13, 2003. It is sub-titled, ''Modern History from the Sports Desk''. This was the final book Thompson published before his death in February 2005. Synopsis Most of the columns were written primarily as sports commentary, but tend to branch into other subjects—commonly politics and social commentary—either due to a perceived relevance to the sports news, or as a result of Thompson's natural discursive tendencies. Some articles are focused on subjects entirely outside sports, such as "Fear and Loathing in America" and "Love Blooms in the Rockies", which deal with the 9/11 attacks and Thompson's marriage, respectively ...
