Don’t register domains when you’re drunk

by on December 16, 2006

We were out to dinner with Tango Diva Theresa Williamson and she was wearing something fuzzy, so we were having a bunch of fun (they are playing Xbox) and thought “is somethingfuzzy.com available?” and, what do you know, it is!”

What will we do with that? We have no idea, but the idea of registering a domain like that on GoDaddy just made us all laugh. Yes, we’ve had way too much to drink. What the heck.

Who said “don’t blog after two shots of Scotch?” Not me! :-)

Hope you’re having fun on Friday night like we are.

  • In the spirit of be mean to Scoble week, I'm betting someone will suggest that you use it as the site where you collate your most insightful thinking!
  • Must have been National Fun Friday. I sure had fun, as did "The Dope"'s Lisa Kate. Check 'em out and read my comment on LisaKate's blog.
  • Somethingfuzzy.com is surely a wonderful domain for a social networking site. Very meaningful!
  • 2 shots, Scoble comon get that bottle down!

    When you are drinking your conversation usually turns to crap. I would have thought you would have researched the below web sites before posting on the department of silly walks and the like.

    PorcelainProclamations.com
    PorcelainPhilosophy101.com
    ThroneHugger.com
    CrapperVisionary.com
    CrapperThoughts.com

    Sometimes I think the whole idea of OpenDomain was some drunken dream, except I do not drink. (Hey - I'm not a saint, but I prefer sobriety) Some of the domains I have registered are a little weird, but I like to think I did some good. I wish I could go back in time and fix things some of the mistakes I made, but at least I was able to make friends with Dries (and I contributed OpenAjax.Org –that’s gotta count for something!). Next time you see Matt, please apologize for me.
  • I don't think it's actually that bad. Hopefully it's a warm domain. Might make a good gift.

    I own a few interesting ones, like http://www.nextgoogleceo.com :) Which has led people to share some extremely interesting business plans and senior level roles with me. I will likely land with one in the not too distant future.
  • Ok, I think I have all of you beat.

    My wife had me register:

    http://www.fluffywaddlebottoms.com

    Top that!

    For the curious, this was the name of a loved childhood pet (a hamster).

    and make sure you have the spelling of a domain name correct before you register.
    i registered vampirewresltingchronicles.com and when i decided to get hosting for it, 3 months later, i realized i had misspelled it. when i went to register the correct spelling it had been registered 2 days previous!
    i had the misspelled domain registered 3 months before someone registered it correctly. son of a...
  • After a night of drinking I bought a couple of domain names: BigHeadBaby.com and foreplayers.com

    I let the first expire, and I'm ready to let the second one go. There's only so many websites you can work on.
  • Isn't it always amazing the randomness of domain names that people can come up with and then you discover no one else has registered. Always an interesting trip.

    Sounds like a fun domain name no matter what you do with it and it's way to early for me to start making up ideas. *grin*
  • cc chapman ended up registering this for me when i talked about it on my podcast:

    PhotoBoothSex.com

    come to think of it, this comment will probably end up in your spambox because of this. :)

    It must be that time of year, I posted here http://www.devilworks.com/2006/12/12/drunk-doma... about my poor domain selection skills while drinking.
  • Robert darling, it was more than 2 shots of Scotch! And your Xbox is cool! I never played it before, so what if I suck.

    Thanks for a fabulous night. See you in a few hours at our place. :)

  • Teresa: I couldn't remember how many I'd had. Probably about four! See ya soon.
  • Robert, maybe you should register

    www.dontblogaftertwoshotsofscotch.com

    it seems appropriate...
  • which is the best site to register a domain?
  • Since a lot people may cruise the internet after a night of drinking, why not make "somethingfuzzy" a website dedicated to this. Displaying funny pics and videos, new drinks, drink ideas, drinking games, and something to do when you are feeling a little queazy?
  • Lol. I know what you mean.
  • A good friend of mine registered foreversimple.com. I thought that was pretty cool until he got bit with the register cool domain names bug. For the next few days I started getting calls like "What do you think milkymusic.com or inkpill.com". I told him to give it up and behappywithwhatyougot.com
  • I think it would be awesome if you made SomethingFuzzy.com into a website where people can post funny pictures they took while drunk. I don't know about you, but everything looks fuzzy and/or hazy when i've had a few!
