Q: It took you two months to come up with “suburbanjuggernaut.com”?
A: Yes.
Q: Where did that name come from?
A: Well, I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned it on my old blog, but I’ve always loved the word “juggernaut.” And I always said that when I got rich, I was going to buy a sports team and rename them the “Juggernauts.” I’ve yet to get rich and buy a team, though last year, I was this close to sponsoring a youth soccer team for $150 so that I could pick the name. Anyway, when I almost did that, I joked that my team would be a “suburban juggernaut,” crushing all of the other teams that dared to come in its path.
Q: Isn’t that a little bit… unsportsmanlike?
A: Perhaps. But honestly, would you rather be a member of the “Action Auto Parts Eagles,” or the “[Town Name] Juggernauts”? I thought so.
Q: This new blog, is it going to be like your old one?
A: Yeah, pretty much. The content will be the same type of drivel I’ve been dishing out since 2005. The only difference is that this time around, I’m using WordPress instead of Movable Type. If you care to know why, send me an email. But I suspect you don’t.
Q: So why did you start a new one?
A: I never liked that people could find my blog just by knowing my name. Not that I write stuff that is overly personal or at all explicit (except for that one full-frontal self portrait I posted, but I only did that once), but I don’t think my employer needs to read about my boy thinking that my girl has a scrotum, you know?
Q: What are you going to do with all those old posts and comments?
A: Originally, I was going to move them over to this blog. Then I decided I was going to delete them. Right now, I’m somewhere in the middle. I think that –
Q: But what about my cool points and/or gold club status?!
A: Don’t fret, I’ll figure something out.

At the very least, you should save the whole MTFP series and offer that as a book on cafepress… I think there’s a lot to learn in there.

NOOOO!
Pleeease.
Don’t delete the old ones

i wouldn’t delete; even if it’s never public again, you never know what argument/lawsuit you might be able to defend with blog evidence in the future.

I’m very concerned about my Omar Member Reward Points.
I was saving up to buy the camping radio/lantern/disco ball thingie.

I was going to write exactly the same thing as No Cool Story, and then I saw his/her words. So double that, ok?

I know, you should give everyone back their old posts if you don’t want them anymore. Or maybe sell them on craigslist or ebay.

I copied all my old posts into a Word document. That way, I have access to them and they aren’t gone forever. Also, if (when) I get lazy, I can re-post an old one!

I did the Word document thing too, it’s tedious though.
That last question was so what I was asking while browsing the new digs. You’ve made us all into cool-points hungry machines!!
June 25th, 2008
Phew!! I was worried about my gold club status. The cool points, I’m all “meh” because those can be “haboobed” into the stratosphere. But gold club status, now THAT has to be earned!

It isn’t really relevant to the topic, however my wife just glanced over and seen the text blogger on the screen. In her eyes, she really seen booger, and asked me why I was reading about boogers. I haven’t laughed so hard in a few weeks.
