As ' a matter of fact, we, the writers, have even managed to brown-nose our very own office. This despite the fact that one of the principal writers of this column said a dirty word on the air and almost got canned from the station for good. (By the way, I can't tell you the word but. I'll give you a hint, it starts with M—A—S—T—U—R and ends with—B-A-T-E-S.) The big guy is gonna flip when. he reads this!
