Of Entertaining Domain Names

September 30, 2007 06:13 PM

My friend Chad has been out of work since the end of the school year. In addition to the normal process of looking for teaching jobs, he's been trying to get a few things published in various magazines (mainly gaming related). For the last couple of weeks, I've tried to convince him to put up a site, and just post some of this stuff online. (If you can't get published and you're wanting to do some professional writing, the next best thing is to put samples of your work out on the internet.)

Yesterday, I finally convinced him to get started, as we discovered that DerKlown.com was available. (Der Klown is the alias of Beelzebozo, one of Chad's many online personas. It's also apparently German for "the clown." Really.) That'll probably end up being another blog site like this one, built on the same code as dylanwolf.com.

Chad also recently discovered a GWAResque Finnish band called Lordi. And in the midst of listening to their song "Chainsaw Buffet," Chad said, "I wonder if that domain name is available."

It was. I'm still not sure what we're going to do with it, but... we've created a logo and some art. And even if we do nothing else with it, it's still pretty cool as is. In fact, I think this may be the pinnacle of humor that either Chad or I will produce. It's all downhill from here.
