11/12/04: Taking Names

One thing I hate about this site is the name.  That and the content. The content I think we're stuck with for now, but that name -- verbungle -- that ain't good. I was just kind of using it as a placeholder until I came up with something good, and then I never got around to it.  When my domain expires in February, I aim to have a new name all ready to go.  I am hereby soliciting suggestions for this new name, although you'll be hard-pressed to top Yahoo's wonderful suggestions.  But please send in your thoughts, I know you can come up with something good. You can use the little space on the upper right for your suggestions. The best proposed name will go into effect, unless I come up with a better one myself or quit this game early like Ron Artest.

So I am wondering if Arafat's death was a shocking enough event to count as part of Brady's 1111 prophecy. I mean, he was a very, very significant man, and we still don't know the full impact of his death, but it's not like this was unexpected.  When someone is barely hanging on over the course of a week or two, his death cannot really be considered an event in the sense we were looking for. I am going to withhold judgment on this one. Especially because there were many other noteworthy events today...like this...and this...and this.  If I had to guess which story Brady was subconsciously anticipating, it was this tragedy.

Friday night I have a charity hoops tournament. It is going to be very, very ugly. I anticipate losing every game. We're old, we're slow, and we were never very good to begin with.  Should still be fun. As long as I achieve one of yesterday's 11 basketball pleasures over the course of the evening, I'll be happy. Hell, if I hit a wide open layup, I'll be happy.

OK, not much to say today.  Let's move on to the damn google game. The sad thing about this game is I think it's wasting more of my time trying to come up with these stupid things than it is taking you to solve 'em.  I ain't very good at this. Oh, well, I am taking the weekend off. In the meantime, HERE IS FRIDAY'S IMAGE. Begin guessing at noon.
