Since I created this little project back in August 2011, I have made a real effort to seek and read the work of the many, talented bloggers out there writing about everything from making Susan Spicer’s Pork Chops with Satsuma Marmalade to fulfilling An Adventure – The First Naked Bar Dance. I have “met” so many interesting people that sometimes I forget that if I bumped into these people at the grocery and tried to strike up a conversation with them that I might wind up being hit by the business end of a honeydew melon (does a honeydew even have a “business end?”) while they escape the maniacally-friendly, crazy lady.
Anyway, in my travels, I’ve become well acquainted with lots of very impressive writers including the two above as well as blogger extraordinaire, Jenny Lawson, and her website entitled TheBloggess.com. If you haven’t visited her already, treat yourself and head over there now. (Did I just send you to someone ELSE’S blog??? I am so bad at this game.) In addition to being profoundly funny and insightful, Jenny is one of the most popular bloggers in the business which is why I’ve decided to advertise ODNT alongside a handful of others right there on her website. Being adjacent to greatness is almost as good as actually achieving it, right?
But here’s my problem.
I need a tagline. If you look at the other blogs listed on her site, you’ll see all of their names followed by a short description, mantra, song lyric, shoe size, favorite snack, etc. It’s whatever the writer wants to use to represent him or herself in that listing. So, I lost a lot of sleep last night, waking up every so often to jot something down in the notes app of my phone, trying to come up with ideas. I pestered my husband, my mother and four of my good friends … one of whom spent the whole afternoon brainstorming with me. (Thanks, Ashley. Also, your cheese presentation was as delicious as it was pretty.)
We probably came up with nearly 50 ideas, some of which were so very bad that I question whether I should even be granted permission to write something like a grocery list. And we culled it down to seven and are putting it to a vote. Here and now. Let me know what you think. The blog listing will read “Old Dog, New Tits” and then the tagline. It’s sort of like someone reading their business card as in ‘Dr. Will Slaughter, CardioThoracic Surgeon.’ (Yeah, I was a big Simpsons fan back in the day.)
Anyway, here are your candidates. Please vote. I need to turn this stuff in!
Hate ’em all? Well, aren’t you persnickety? … No! Wait! I’m kidding. Please don’t run off. Have a better idea? Please list it below in the comments section. Have I mentioned before that I LOVE COMMENTS?
Thanks, guys, for helping me decide. I’ll post my final decision very soon. And maybe share a few of the earlier rejected clunkers for laughs … if you want to hear them. But you can’t like them better!!
OldDogNewTits 
And not a single breast related tag among them. Are you trying to lure the unwary?
(And thanks for not using naked mole rats as a tag!)
Persnickety is one of my favorite words. (I know. I know. Huge dork.)
Hmmmm….I like the freakishly small bladder thing….
How about “You found a what in my where? and other interesting stories….”
The cat one sounded funny and interesting, so i voted for that.
… my choices? *Insert pithy boob comment here* -or- *boobs, blogging & pie… help yourself!*
2 and 4 top contenters IMO
OK, so I commented in the wrong place. 😛
We had a quick Transformer battle in the house this morning, so I am inspired by “More than meets the eye”. I also like the last two lines on your Twitter handle description.
I agree! “Funny, poignant, and completely candid. Come on over. I just made paella.” Random yet related.
PS – can you change my site on your blogroll?
I’m with Guapo. Shouldn’t the tag line let people know this is a journey to boobs? (or not to boobs?) Maybe we need to hear the rejects.
Guapo, Anne & any other curious onlookers – I decided to leave out boobs so as not to pigeonhole myself too much. Boobs or not, that track is short and I want to be sure to leave myself open for whatever crosses my path each day … especially if it happens to be a naked mole rat.
GAHHH!!!
Im having a very difficult time getting “Not Just Knockers” out of my head….I know….issues….
I blame it on being over tired…
Life’s a bowl of cherries and my daughter has a great idea for the pits….
I discovered the Blogess a few months ago. It’s so cool that y’all made the blog connection! Her regular blog is a riot (have you read the giant metal chicken entry?) and her 10 Strangest Things on her Sex Is blog *kills* me! So, between the two of you – now that you’ve been pronounced healthy – I’m laughing my rather substantial ass off on a regular basis. 😀 Thanks, ladies!
With a half hour left till the polls close (at least here on the east coast), I just cant get “Not just Knockers” out of my head…so Im putting in another plug for “other”….
I do like that one, stnkyferit. And I’m jazzed about your enthusiasm! Thanks! 🙂
