Well, since Jerry's not going to be blogging for awhile, I might as well tell the wonderful story of the extraordinarily and, if I might add, ridiculously long URL.

The Beginning of a Blog

Once upon an ordinary day in this madcap world, a bored young man who constantly spouts out nonsense to the people around him decided to share his latest eccentric idea with his very pale friend. The conversation went something like this:

Nonsense Guy: Hey, Pale One, Fei suggested that we start a blog. What do you think?
Pale One : Yeah, sure, why not? (Really, it's more because she knows that Nonsense Guy knows that she can't say "no", and if she says no, Nonsense will probably pester her. =P)

So began a brainstorming session of an URL, which, I should add, took place over a period of almost 5 days.

Nonsense Guy: You choose the name la... my vocab not good... Anything la... Make it comical la... it's just a URL anyway :P

(Yes, the excessive use of "la's" is quite annoying, isn't it?)

And because Pale One is the nice person she is ^_^, she rattles off a list of suggestions. Lame ones, though, if I might say.

Pale One: Alright, alright... I'll give you a few, and YOU choose.
How about twocelerysticks or thebroomsticks (because we're both stick-thin =P).
Or an URL with 'rabbits' in it? =/ we're both born in year of rabbit mah... like... wackobunnies or crazyrabbits. rabbityrabbits. rowdyrabbitsoverseas. Ok, that sounds really lame. Ah, I really no idea leh. Aren't you the guy with all the nonsense? We're both overseas... so maybe a name to do with that? And like u said, it's just an URL. =D And you want it comical - well, you're the best person to ask when it comes to nonsense, so YOU come up with something.

Thus, Nonsense decided on the brilliant idea of -

Nonsense Guy: I'll just combine yours... Ok, i choose nuttyceleryrabbitsticksfudge. Hahaha... Weird and simple :p

Yes, Jerry. It's very simple. Weird and simple, all right.
