On the topic of BOOMING MUSIC, WFMU's marathon has begun. In addition to their programming, I am indebted to WFMU for being partially responsible for me finding Paughsome, as it was then called. One of you had posted the link on the WFMU blog's shoutbox, and I happened to see it, and the rest is history!
I am going make a sizable donation this year, I think, and I encourage you to do the same!
I believe the WFMU link remains a mystery to us. We never figured the connection between us and WFMU. In fact, we had never even heard of the station until I believe one of your comments on here (or paughsome). None of us that I can think of has a connection to the NY/NJ area. Rather mysterious to paughnder. Your comment helps shed some light on this old mystery, but I still wonder how someone came to post about us on the stations blog's shoutbox. Cool nonetheless!
The intent of this website it so educate the populous on the existence of paugh, illustrate how to identify paugh, and if you are paugh, show you how to embrace it.
"Paugh" was first discovered during a viewing of the movie "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." Steve Martin's "Ruprecht" character helped form the original inspiration for Paugh as we know it today. It was only discussed in small circles until 2000 when Josh Teague publicly imitated Ruprecht and experienced paugh first hand. He mentally documented the experience though was not fully able to develop a full understanding of paugh by himself. In 2003 Josh presented his findings to his fellow researchers of the world Michael R. Nelson and William H. Mather. Over the next three years these great minds developed a greater understanding of the phenomenon of paugh and began documenting it visually. In January of 2005, paugh went to the public in the form of this website. Since then, Mike, Josh, and Will have conscripted the noble paugh theologians Leon O. Fowler,Jeremy Z. Van Hill, and Brett Q. Gilbert to help build to the paugh research database. This website is a product of their labor, finding, illustrating, and sometimes creating paugh for the greater good of the world. May god bless their work.
