For some reason, I didn't watch that show. Probably couldn't get
behind the premise or something. Don't like What's-His-Face who was
the male lead and was once married to Demi, either. If _boink_
originated on Moonlighting, then I have no regrets about not having
seen a single episode. Even as used on Cheers, _boink_ struck me as
too childish for adults. A reason why I'd rather see _boink_ as
coincidental and not as purposeful. But, of course,

YouNeverKnow.

Different strokes, I reckon.

IAC, I don't really curr. :-)
