The Surrealists hotline...

I started out with the title, Musings and Meanderings which I thought was quite clever until I Googled (just when did that become a verb?) it and found a bazillion web things with that phrase.  So, check this out, I quoted from a long ago used answering machine message in which I ramble off a series of non-sensical and totally unrelated words and inform callers they've reached the "Surrealists Hotline".  The script of this left several friends doubled over in laughter, even pants-peeing, and I used it for a long time, except of course when I was looking for a job.  Someplace in my files, I have the original yellow note paper with the whole thing and I will replicate it here for someone's (or no ones's) amusement.

The point was, I wanted a title that was unique on my new blog, which is my favorite new thing.  The baffling part for me is that I don't know how to Google my blog.  How does one find me on the internet.  I tried putting in "chinchilla blender" and oddly the search returned roughly 1,101,000 items for this.  I looked through several pages but can't believe there are that many websites or blogs or even topics that entertain both chinchillas and blenders under the same heading.  Nonetheless, putting in any combinations of the compenents that make up my blogspot title, name, heading, whatever, produced the annoying "no pages match whatever you typed in up there.  Did you mean, april finally waits or april ferrets cats or april formally loses it?   NO, dammit, I meant, APRIL FINALLY WRITES, it's my blog.  This, I discover is not original either.  I still contend that you will be hard pressed to beat slack worms or chinchilla blender. Barking lizard is probably a  no brainer.  I'm going to google it now and get back to you, faithful reader.  And I assume there is only one of you right?
