The Baby Boomers out there may remember how cowabunga came into existence while others will relate it to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,and still others to Bart Simpson, or even surfers,but it was a greeting (and mild curse) used by Chief Thunderthud on the Howdy Doody Show. Apparently it was a word used by males, as Princess Summerfall Winterspring used kowagoopa as her greeting,which brings me to the original spelling of cowabunga was kowabonga. As long as I have everyone on the Howdy Doody page did anyone know that Howdy had 48 freckles to represent the 48 states at the time of the show? Ah,the good old days!
