This Is What I Get For Trying To Be Clever
Why did you name your blog what you did?
Every now and then the question gets thrown around internetland. After all, names are important; they turn the vague to the specific, and give life to an otherwise unknown entity.
Also, names can be really funny. Or really stupid. Or really beautiful. Sometimes all at once. Take my inability to pronounce certain words correctly, for example:
A Curious Individual: You blog?! What’s it called?!
Me: Begging The Answer.
A Curious Individual: Bagging the answer?
Me: No, Begging The Answer.
A Curious Individual: Bagging the answer?
Me: No, begging. Like, "This begs the question...." But begging the answer.
A Curious Individual: *blink* *blink* Bags?
Me: Ummm...yeah.
A Curious Individual: Oh. I get it.
Me: This is what I get for trying to be clever.
So naming a blog may not be my strong suit. But if you want me to name a child or name a cat, let me know. I have tons of good ideas.

That's a good answer. One question, though: Where's this bag you keep talking about? ;^)
Two for the price of free!
@Joshua - I'm still looking for that bag too.
@Marianna - I should go into marketing.
you were very patient with that curious individual.
i would have mumbled something nasty.
incoherently.
and then pretended i said something else.
You call them bags? I call the sacks.
Wait, what?
