Inoffensive Expletives (.com)

So I thought this morning it would be a fun and successful website to start a WordPress-driven blog along the lines of listing inoffensive and unoffensive expletives and interjections.  By that I mean people would google onto, and check daily or RSS any site that is just a big growing list of fun words to say when someone steps on your toes–and of course I’m filtering that down to words that don’t have traditional swear words in them.  Day one’s post could be “thump!” with a short essay about where the submitter has seen it used and in what context.  I think people would google onto such a site all day long, RSS feed it and send it to their friends if they’re the type of people who use such words or would like to, teach their kids to say them when they want to swear, and eventually name bands after some.

Thump!
Based on the Caldecott Award winning kids’ book, the new qubo series My Friend Rabbit chronicles the wide-eyed adventures of Rabbit, his best friend Mouse, and a group of other colorful characters from across the animal kingdom. As Mouse says, Rabbit means well…but somehow just can’t avoid getting into sticky situations! But if they work together, they can solve each dilemma with ingenuity, creativity and, most of all, friendship.”  This show plays on Saturday mornings on qubo and on ION during the week, and the main character, the loving Rabbit, screams “Thump!” whenever he has a good idea or other cause for interjection.

Anyone like this idea, or have any suggested words?  Fetch!, fiddlesticks!, shazaam!, zargles!, …?

#10: Karate Consulting

Here’s another consulting one, and one that would be a blast.  Karate Consulting, the front end for a martial arts management consulting company.  I’ve got the background and the skills, and I now have the prettiest website of any martial arts consulting company on the net.  So tell me if you want to be a consultant with me, because I need a team.  I know my competencies, but there’s always room for more if you have targeted gifts and know how to use them, especially if you’ve worked with a successful martial arts school.  I think it’s bunk whenever people flatter themselves by saying “unless you’ve worked specifically in this industry, you don’t know what you’re talking about.”  That’s just academically wrong, and so I’m open to people of all backgrounds, especially in a zero gravity capacity.  And thus we are.
