When I started this blog, it was designed to be a sarcastic view of the world and a list of things that do not make sense. With that in mind, I knew exactly what to name it.
I have told this story before, but it bears repeating.
In the mid-90s, Larry, who you have read about, had latched on to an organization that was beneath our expectations. It was a softball team that lacked quality players and, at times, lacked uniforms. We were in Little Rock, Arkansas and about to play one of the top teams in the nation. Larry and I were standing on a bridge overlooking a drainage ditch. It was hot, and we knew that the game was not going to end well. That is when inspiration struck, and I stated, “We are surrounded by imbeciles and wallowing in mediocrity.”
Yep, Surrounded By Imbeciles was the perfect name for the fledgling blog.
Through the years, the blog has changed. I am not sure what it has become, but it has definitely become something different that I first imagined. On top of that, people from my non-Interent life are reading it. My wife is one of those people.
Yesterday, she suggested that I start a new blog with a new name. However, I have spent a lot of time building this one and do not want to abandon it. Then, she suggested that I change the name, and that is probably a good idea. At this point, I do not feel like I am surrounded by imbeciles. Well, there are a few ignorant people out there, but they are few and far between.
I cannot change the blog’s address, but I can change the name at the top. The only problem is that I need to come up with a good name, and I am looking to you guys for suggestions. Those of you who have read this blog have an idea what it is about and may have a good idea how to give it a title.
If you have an idea, then I hope you will play Name That Blog.
Tom Kennedy and I would appreciate it.
