A Rose, By Any Other Name

Tonight, now that it's after hours, I must tastefully broach the subject of followers. I have no issue with followers. I'm not on a quest to gain more and more to keep up with the Joneses. If I'm followed, fine and dandy. I'm happy to see my regulars pop up when I log on.

My other blog has more followers. I've noticed that some bloggers heartily welcome each one to the fold. It's a classy thing to do. I am not averse to it. But I often don't notice when a new one shows up. If they leave a comment, I welcome them in the comments. Otherwise, they're on their own. I haven't devoted much thinking time to the issue. Until today.

Something looked different. I noticed a new follower. I let my cursor hover over the picture dealybobber. The name appeared. Twatsmacker.

I try to keep my other blog up to snuff. A bit more upscale than my Mansion in Hillmomba. Sure, I wrote about my dream where I had four boobs. But aside from that, it's a classy joint. I don't go running my pottymouth fingers. No inappropriate language. Which puts me in quandary. A part of me wants to welcome my newest follower. Another part of me does not.

I'm sure Twatsmacker is a lovely person. But I just can't see myself writing, "And I'd like to welcome Twatsmacker to our little community. Make yourself at home, Twatsmacker. I hope you enjoy your visit. Come again."

Seriously.

Ick. What is wrong with people when they think that name is cool? Gross.

Okay, I have looked at the title several ways and cannot make it say anything but the obvious ... twat smacker, even twats maker is obscene!
My neice once has a student with moniker Shithead. She learned that the child pronounced his name shi-thead. But this one that you have won't even lend itself to a classier pronounciation. I am intrigued.

Chick,
Kids these days. Then they'll go apply for jobs and wonder why nobody wants to hire them!

Kathy,
What kind of person would name their kid Shi-thead? A person who doesn't deserve to have a kid, in my opinion. Can you imagine calling a little baby that, just for a big joke? That will last a lifetime.

Yikes! Well, just yikes...

And please! Don't ask them to "come again"!
