Excremental Topiary! Obviously it doesn't really mean anything, and it's stupid, but writing stupid stuff that doesn't really mean anything is what I built my entire career on, so what the hell. <BR/><BR/>Please just ignore me, CB and CB's commenters.

(for what it's worth, i didn't send any to my fam, so don't feel left out. guess who got the only postcard i mailed? yep, i'm that predictable.)<BR/><BR/>don't worry, TB, i'm not going to bother with verification thingy. i wouldn't anyway, but now that i know i'd lose your comments if i did, i _definately_ won't!<BR/><BR/>patroclus. interesting suggestion. i hadn't thought of it. here's why it doesn't grab me: i have a pet peeve against words that sound like adjectives and aren't. they bug me. words like "topiary" and "mnemonic." i hear them and think "a mnemonic what?" stoopic, i know, but there it is. by the same token, "excremental" sounds like and adjective. but without a noun proceeding it it's just a word, full of sound and fury and modifying nothing. so if you can come up with an appropriate noun, ie Excremental _______________, let me know and i'll consider changing the title of the blog.<BR/><BR/>hell, let's make it a contest.* everyone submit your suggestions. What should the blog be called? best answer gets, erm, something. i dunno, i think of it later. <BR/><BR/>(*i reserve the right to ignore all of your ideas and leave the title the way it is.)Moominmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750304448922417139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896529.post-1144859992855763822006-04-12T16:39:00.000+00:002006-04-12T16:39:00.000+00:00CB, I've been spending an inordinate amount of tim...CB, I've been spending an inordinate amount of time thinking "hmm, if that was my blog, I'd call it Excremental".
