A Contest!

I'm toying with the idea of starting a new weight loss blog (fresh start and comment notification and all that) but haven't thought of anything to call it yet. I'll keep you posted.


And I say, what the hell, woman? It's been 10 days.

So, I think it is up to us to rename her blog. Post your suggestions in the comments, and the winning entry gets, like, a cookie. Or something! Possibly just a sense of satisfaction. We'll "keep you posted."

[My entry: "A Smaller Slice of Pie." It's a pun! Okay, fine. I am sure you can do better.]

Um - how's about No Pie. Or maybe Mo Salad?

I will never name a blog "no pie." A life without pie is a horror. Plus, there's un-pie! Un-pie is healthy pie!

If you are expecting to be (as opposed to just wanting to be) in a different place in January 2007 than you were in January 2003, call it Less Is Mo---or Mo Is Less. Otherwise, Same Old Same Old will do.

If you are implying what I think you're implying, maybe I will name it "Fuck You" instead.

how about...
- JUST A SLIVER WON'T KILL YA
- LIFE OF PIE (sounds familiar)
- THE VALUE OF PIE TO THE NTH DIGIT
- PIE IN THE SKY
- WARNING: CONTENTS OF FILLING MAY BE HOT (from the side of the McD pie box)

You could also go with the less succinct, but more satisfying, "Mary Crawford is a Troll (Doo dah, Doo dah)."

Hey, if Un-Pie is healthy, it is a good name for your blog!

• Smaller slices, sharper knives

or

• You tell 'em pieface, you've got the crust

or baffle 'em with French!

• Ma muse m'amuse.

Snackie, I think Ms. Coach thing is a "she". (WIth all that implies.)

I have no originality right now -- it was drained by vampires at today's producing session -- so I'm gonna bogart with

"Less Pie - Mo Salad"

Because that is funny.

But Buff should get the credit.

You're asking someone who very nearly called her own blog "I'm not the Walrus". (I thought better of it.)

I rather like "Warning: contents may be hot", but perhaps it's a little long for the purpose.

Gracious, but that's a facinating marketing strategy Ms. Crawford (aka Ask a Coach) has there. I'm sure if you were to shell out for her program she'd be much more compassionate. Unless of course you like to be shamed, which as a person of size in this world would certainly work out to be "same old, same old."

I like "A Smaller Slice of Pie" and "Less Pie - Mo Salad." I think "Warning - Contents May Be Hot" would be a kick-ass tag line, if not the title.

I'm lousy at catchy titles, least of all blogs. I'm liking the "Contents May Be Hot" title a lot.

Mr. Ointy needs to be in there somewhere, but like I said, I'm crappy at creativity. I'm a better editor.

"Less Pie, Mo Crust"
"Less Pie, Mo Filling"
"Less Mo than Befo"
"Pie in the Sky, Less Mo By and By"?
"Pie a la Mo"?
I have to say, though, that "Less Pie, Mo Salad" pretty much says it.

I have to ask, though: why do people think it's all right to come to someone else's e-home and be all fucking rude. That's what I'm Asking the Coach, anyway: What makes you think that that's an acceptable thing to do? You've immediately alienated anyone who comes here who likes Mo (which is, duh, why we come here); in theory, some of us are probably your target vict- uh, clientele. Talk about how not to sell yourself. How about Mo Manners, for starters?

Lol Catherine.

I vote for:

Smaller slices, sharper knives

or

Less Pie - Mo Salad

And I just realized right now reading this entry that I've been pronouncing your name mopey for a really long time.

Dolley, I don't even know if "The Coach" would even come back. I think it's spam.

I didn't even catch the reference to "Mary Crawford" until I clicked the "coach's" link. Oh, duh. She's probably thinking she got all sorts of hits from this. I will call this the Jacqueline Mackie Paisley Passey method of getting site hits. But, uh, it doesn't work.
Oh, and to this cheesehead, unless you are this man you are NOT "The Coach."

Sorry for deleting your post, Anon, but let's avoid personal attacks. Thanks!

I can't believe no one suggested "our bodies: mental problems"

I vote for More To Love: A Fattie's Tale. But that's just me. Because right now, I'm a little drunk.

By the way, if you don't use that, I'm totally going to.

Oh, Weet! That is so beautiful.

I just thought of another! It is: Pie me up, Pie me down. I am a genius! And maybe a little drunk, too.

How about a play on the Bushism of Make the Pie Higher, such as Make the Pie Lighter?

I have no time to read anymore! I could update on my current project, though: reading Finnegans Wake aloud to the dog. I am on page 10.

How about "Sliver?--as in, "Would you like pie? and "I'll just take a sliver." Invokes the word "slimmer" maybe. Could sound kind of violent, though.

Dolley, I am just howling.

I will come and sit in the front row and cheer when and where you are opening. :D

I Love "Warning: Contents my be hot" as a tag line. If you don't use it, can I do it?

I didn't know spammers now came with an attitude.

Blogger Gina said...

Oh, this is so dangerous--I feel puns comin' on...

Fat No Mo
Mo Better
Eensy Weensy Mighty Mo
One Mo for da Road
Gimme Some Mo

Then there are all of the things you could have/be "Mo" of:

Mo Happy
Mo Svelt
Mo Me
Mo Delicious
Mo Fabulous

Okay, I'm gonna stop before Mo bans me from the comments.

Though, I do like Pie a la Mo...
