Where do you draw the line between witty and just plain cheesy?
I have an excuse for not really knowing what constitutes humor and wit: I am not American! That having been said, I have exempted myself from the need to exercise intelligent humor. I will be the potty joke component of this blog - everyone else has no excuse! You better pull your weight!
The real issue here, ladies and gentlemen, is what we should name this blog.
We really don't have to keep the name 'The Cafeteria Circular Chronicle'. It was just something to start with since the cafeteria is a social setting here in school where we talk about all sorts of things there. I changed it from "The Cyber Caf" to this just because it sounds more professional. Ok, somebody give me a second opinion before I completely embarrass you with what I think is funny. I have a thing for alliteration, if you can't already tell. But really, is that even necessary?
What do you think would make a good name for this blog? What is your opinion of the current title? Could you post under such a heading? What else can we use as a theme besides food? Give me your suggestions. Your educated critique (did you like the way I said "critique"?) is very much welcome here.
While you're at it, what should the URL for this place be?
http://[insert your witty suggestion here].blogspot.com
That's it, ladies and gentlemen, in many words I have officially started our first discussion. Let the games begin!

Yeah, yeah, you get the idea.

does the title of the Blog have to be reflected in the web address? Is that easy to change? How bout
"The Holy Order of Nerding Geeks?" Nope, nevermind, as an acronym that spells THONG. Ever since Jared's birthday there are subliminal scars, I guess. It's like that vomit smell that never really leaves the carpet. Besides, "nerding" isn't really a verb.

http://notalkingwithyourmouthfull.blogspot.com/

How about naming it "BLOGGER'S DIGEST" and the URL could be "http://bloggerdigest.blogspot.com/". OR simply "CAFETIRIA DIGEST"...or how the Ausies will call it "GROGSPOT.COM" Hahaha. Oh, maybe not, no alcohol...

Oh, one more, one more--
"Fodder for the Bloggers: The Cafetiria Digest"

I thought about "digest-this" or something. But yeah, the tile doesn't have to reflect the URL and it IS that easy to change. Well, if we have great ideas, we better park them before someone else does. I have already taken "mormnisms" just in case.
Nerding is a wonderful word. Hey, if Dr. Suess can create the word "nerd", we can turn nerding into a new verb. The same way we can start calling the caf "The Club" instead.

By the way, my mom's last name is Thong.
I almost wish she was my Dad instead. Oh, the fun I would have... and all the free thongs I would get on my birthday...

Don't worry fei, I'd still buy you a thong anyway...and that other thing I have yet to get you... :-)

*ahem* Woah woah woah... What ever happened to the discussion? (-_-")

HAHAHA!!! So much for educated critique... As I read the first post to this thread, I saw the part that said the Cyber Caf and thought OH NO!!!
Fei, if you named this the cyber caf, everyone is gonna post stuff about thongs!
I'm sure you are well aware of this, but cybering has taken a new definition on the net. It has become the abbreviation of CyberSex! So someone looking at the URL cybercaf may either block it in their porn filter or come here looking for some HAWT LUBBINZ...
I'm glad you all chose "thecaf" instead =)
