Rejected Names for This Blog

The most difficult decision to be made when creating this great canvas for the masterpiece that it shall become was, of course, giving it the proper nomenclature. One of my great useless talents is coming with a treasure-trove of easily rejected names for hypothetical bands (Dead Salmon), fantasy football (JackedLikeEdHoculi) or trivia teams.

You give me a topic, I give you a witty name. Arrested Development fans on a softball team? Loose Seals. Oklahoma State grads on a bar crawl? Get Your Eddie Sutton On. BAM! That simple. Where's my royalties?

But naming this wasn't so simple. It had to be unique, witty, lasting, memorable and had to embody the true nature, spirit and purpose of the blog itself. That being pointless. But I digest. . .

Disillusions of Grandeur - Already taken by a blog about styling nails. Evidently Nail Ninjas are very self-aware. And besides this blog is going to be grand. Believe it.

Bo Knows - An obvious rip-off of the classic Bo Jackson marketing campaign. Rather smug considering my unofficial King of Useless Knowledge crown.

Park Bench Pontifications - named after where I spend the majority of my reading and neighborhood people watching time. While often an origin for ideas and philosophies, not the location where they would be codified and published for posterity. Also socially unacceptable place to not wear pants.

Apropos of Nothing - taken by a blog last updated in 2003. Have enough problems focusing and getting motivated as it is. Though much here is apropos of nothing, don't need a defeatist title to go along with it.

Binge Thinking - the original working name for the blog and the name of the most brilliant bar stool philosophers club ever. EVER! The name of a book based upon the phenomenon of young people way over thinking things in a way to depressing way. Also a blog full of haiku. I don't write haiku, because with poetry I was told there was to be no math.

But in the end, this is a Word Hard world we are living in.
