What is the title of this blog?
Tuesday, October 21, 2008
I've had some feedback from various readers about how to say the title of my blog. I thought about doing a poll, but considering the responses from my last poll, I figured I'd better just do it as a post.
So, in the comments section, please state how you would say the name of this blog, if you were telling someone about it in person (not in email or text).
Whoever gets it right, will get 10,000 bonus points.

Well, I call it 'driving into disco' because that's your url.
If I didn't know that, and I tried to technically decipher the name, I'd come up with:
driving is greater than disco
(This wouldn't be a true statement, of course).
I hope I win; I NEED bonus points!!!!!

I also thought it meant you liked to listen to disco music while driving your car!

I believe it is simply Driving Disco...sweeter when followed by an additional >Driving. The > is known by the music community as a segue. A segue is a smooth transition from one topic or section to the next. In this particular instance, it means that the song Driving smoothly transitions into the song Disco without breaking. :)

You know, something just dawned on me, aren't you a Wide Spread Panic fan? Could the title of your blog be related to the band????

All right, lets shut this thing down.
MSM, you did technically get the first correct answer (Driving into Disco), but you were merely using context clues (in this case, the inability of the intarwebz to support a special character in a url). I think that should earn you about 7500 bonus points.
Becca, of course, got the right answer and did not use evil intertubez trickery to decipher it.
Memphis, of course I'm a Panic fan and if you'll read Becca's answer which was sandiwched between yours, you'll get the full scoop.

Course I forgot Becca's bonus points. 10,000 bonus points will be added to your D > D blog account shortly.
How was the Mud Island show, by the by?

I have seen better. I don't know if it is that we are getting older, or that I have been going to WSP shows for 11 years now, or a combo of the two, but I just wasn't into it. Don't get me wrong, I had a good time and got to see people I haven't seen in a long time, but the "magic" just wasn't there for me anymore. :( Sad day!

Path of DOOM!!!!

Excuse me, but I think that someone's GRANDMOTHER would get extra extra bonus points and be a hands-down winner for even knowing
"evil intertubez trickery"
(sorry Becca,... I need bonus points more than you...)
