First of all, the BooMan is related to the ‘bogey man’. The bogey man (aka, bogy man, boogeyman) is an evil imaginary character who harms children. In the Caribbean the bogey man is often referred to as simply: The Boo Man. I like to think of the Boo Man as a close relative of the Tokoloshe. For the purposes of this Web Site, the Boo Man can be considered a stalwart friend of children, but a nocturnal terror for corrupt politicians, lazy reporters, and hypocritical Republican operatives. All members of this site are welcome to consider themselves Boo Men, Boo Women, Boo People, Boomers, El Boomerinos (if you’re not into the whole brevity thing), Boomsters, Boominators, or whatever else you can come up with. In point of fact, the handle “BooMan” does not really originate with any conscious decision to evoke terror in the hearts of anyone. It comes from my ‘pet’ name for my Newfoundland dog, named Buster. When I took him, as a puppy, for his first veterinarian visit, the doctor called him “Buster Boo”. My wife and I liked that so much it wasn’t long before we began calling him “The Boo Man”.
