I do like calling us Blobs -- who was that who suggested it? -- if that one wins. Much better than boobs (hey, Friday makes it two years since my surgery, speaking of boobs) and DEFINITELY better than BOBs. Whoa, Nellie, on that one!

Is there some slang meaning that I am not getting that is worse than "battery operated boyfriend"? It seems that we talk about vibrators a lot around here so this wouldn't be that scandalous...

that's what came to my mind

Yup, that's what I think of for BOBs as well... which is why I think it's quite humourous, the way we're always talking about sex around here like a bunch of horny teenagers! Well, I guess some here are teenagers, but you get my meaning...

WoM, I'm the one that also hinted at BLOb's, though there's no L in the title to really justify it, but I thought it sounded funny, so out it came... <-- heh that was me sunday morning (ick!)

I, for one, don't want to be known as a Boob or a Blob. Just something nice and simple that has no shady meanings. That's why I voted for 2BeRead.com. But I suppose if you try hard enough, anything can be twisted around to mean whatever you want.

I hate 2BeRead because of the 2 - I hate those types of internet shortcuts. Blech.

Well it looks like BookObsessed.com is winning out anyway.

As for what we'd be known as... I think myself and others still think that calling ourselves Obsessors is the best bet. But because people were looking for an acronym to shorten the full name to, kinda like some shortened BookRelay to BR and BookCrossing to BC, and didn't want BookObsessed to become BO... it's why I suggested BOb (taking the first 2 letters of obsessed instead of only the one). *shrug* FWIW

Do we have a winner?

Exactly.

Any other form of to be read would have been fine... but the number completely ruins that one for me.

We're NEVER going to rename this joint!

I really hope we do, 'cause right now to get here at work, I have to go to Cheesy's LiveJournal and use the link she put in there.

Yes, it would be too easy to put a link in my own LiveJournal. Don't be rediculous.

Ditto on the number thing -- yuck!

Plus, I would prefer to think of myself as obssessed; describes me perfectly!

I'll fall in line behind Pyan here.

I was absent the day they taught numbers in typing class.

So I always have to stop and look.
