Name Game

As this quaint little blog is approaching it's one year anniversary, we are coming to a crossroads. One of the many things that I am nagged about is the name of our blog. Yes, I did say our blog because I always tell Marilyn that she can post an entry whenever her little heart desires. However, she has steadfastly refused due to the title of the blog. As most of us know, Marilyn has the unfortunate flaw of being a white sox fan. Due to this fact, she refuses to post on anything that has Cubs in it's title. She also objects to the Battlestar Galactica element in the title even though she watches the show.

In my defense, the title of this blog gets it inspiration from an episode of The Office. During the episode, Dwight Schrute mentions three of his favorite things in this order: Beets, Bears... Battlestar Galactica. It is quite a funny scene and I love all of those things except for beets. Well, I figured it would be a clever name for the blog, so I went with my own version, replacing beets with cats and Cubs.

So, for the sake of being fair, I will consider changing the name of the blog and you will help me decide if a new title is necessary. Here are the options:

A. Nothing, it will stay the same.

B. The Beet Remains the Same

C. The Ortiz Post Telegraph Intelligencer Gazette Monitor Times Sun Journal Daily Register Sentinel Constitution Press Banner Chronicle Advocate Courier Free Press Centinel Independent Standard Mercury Dispatch Union Banner Pantagraph Evening Advocate Herald Bulletin Whig County Crusader Ledger Enquirer Examiner Tribune (Just to be obnoxious)

D. Partly Cloudy (This is a nickname given to us by a friend at Chili's that claims Marilyn is a ray of sunshine while Christopher is a menacing storm)

E. Notes From the Blackboard (This is our nod to teaching)

If you do not like these options, we are open to suggestions. Results will be be shown in the coming weeks.

Melissa says "Friends of Frank" and I'm personally suggesting "Blog or Die". If neither of those two fly, then I like the blackboard one too
