Digital Analogue

The name game

Some brainstorming on the name thing yielded the following list (including a few from my faithful readership):

• Being Socially Responsible, Environmentally Concerned, and Politically Informed is Depressing

Has the advantage of being true. Rather unwieldy, though.

• Don in the Parlour with the Candlestick
• Fred
• Principle of Laziness

Alternately, Principal of Laziness.

• Procrastination Central
• Head of the Class
• Le __ c'est moi

I never did figure out how to fill in the blank, but it would have been cute if I could find some word in French or English that started with T or rhymed with "ta" or "tot".

• Ich bin ein Galesburger

Delicious.

• Public Square Circle

Seems like some obscure Java programming reference, but it's actually an obscure Galesburg reference.

• Blue-Green State

Yay ambiguities

• Anything But "Anyone But"

, dammit.

• Lebvergnügen

Volkswagen has for my entire life had the catchiest damn advertising.

• Vivrevergnügen

Say that ten times fast. Heck, say it once.

• No A/C

True on the face of it. Seems to have a deeper meaning, but I'm not sure what.

• Sweater Sampler
• Hand Wash Only (Do Not Tumble Dry)

Doesn't quite mean anything, but it almost means like four different things.

• Bread and Cheese
• Wine and Moses

I won't go with this one, but I just wanted to say this would be a great name for a Jewish dinner club.

• Diamond in the Ruff

If only I played bridge more.

• Purls before spline

I don't really do enough graphics work for this one.

• Not Hawai`i
• Feuille

It means "leaf". It's just a cool word.

• ...right here in River City

With a capital T.

• El Procrastinador

It's a theme in my life. Perhaps you've noticed.

• Paper House
• Armchair Activist

More true than I'd like, really.

• My Car is Cuter Than Yours
• My Dog is Cuter Than Yours
• Where are the spaceships?

Seriously.

• Who eats anchovies, anyway?
• Important: Tax Document Enclosed

Also would be a great band name.

• Return Receipt Requested
• Analog Dinosaur
• Digital Analogue
• No Caffeine • Low Sodium

Like root beer.

• Hi Mom

That was the original point of the blog, after all.

• Most Gerrymandered District in the Country

Illinois 17th. Check it out.

• Land of the Free

...sort of.

• Land of the Free (as in Speech)

... not beer.

• One Nation Indivisible

Think a second, you'll get it.

And I'll probably end up with something not on this list anyway.
