"WKRP in Cinncinati" was a mid-1970´s television sitcom that was shown in voluminous syndication during the 1980´s, when i was a child watching about 6 hours of TV a day. WKRP was the call name for a struggleing radio staiton that played a variety of rock music as well as news. One of the disc jockys was Johnny Fever, who wore rose tinted sunglasses inside the WKRP office, as well as in the darkened studio. Johnny´s other omnipresent characteristics included long graying hair, a large coffee mug gripped by a cocked arm, and a black band t-shirt. Johnny was usually nurseing a hangover with a demeanure suggesting he medicated himself every morning. Johnny had an apathetic lethargic way of addressing his audience because he was convinced no one was listening to his broadcast. He was so convinced of this that during one episode he decided to speak an un-utterable word on the air to prove that no one was listening. He leaned close to the microphone and maybe even raised his glasses to his forehead and said¨"Booger!". Of course, there were a few folks listening and Johnny was summoned to the bosses office and fired.
i suspect only a few friends and family are also reading this blog so.....BOOGER!!!
ok, i have to get back to Peru.

"Booger?" How dare you utter such a disgusting and vial word. You should be ashamed of yourself young man. You just lost another reader.
i hang my head in shame. i can never look at the world again without the density of my guilt for thrashing my readership with such a word.
BORING!
