Re: dear lord, BC-A
Instant oatmeal at Starbucks? That sounds like it would be more expensive than a quart of Sauza dark Tequila. Do they thin it with that black stuff they call coffee, or do you have to drink it straight? The only thing I like about Starbucks is that they have a big sign to announce their presence. That makes it easy to slip past them without being spotted. I think that is where used car salesmen start their training.

At least I find the instant oatmeal at Starbucks® bulky. Good luck. I hope that you don’t jump on the web mate. Jumpin’ Jack Flash The Rolling Stones

Ciel,
As far as I know, it's just oatmeal flavored oatmeal. Sometimes I sprinkle in a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg. (never use the artificial stuff.) Peppermint is also quite good, but you have to be careful about that stuff. It is said to produce unexpected sexual arousal, and that can present fairly significant problems should it occur at importune moments.

What flavor instant oatmeal are you bathing in, Jack?
It could make a difference to your complexion, you know...

ciel,
Oatmeal Bath? I like that idea. I have a bunch of instant oatmeal around that is so stale that it would be perfect only in a bath. Think of the dermatological benefits! There would probably be some that haven't even been imagined by the most arcane of Dermacorp's biochemists and sales pitchers!
Excuse me. I'm off to draw hot water and start ripping open hermetically sealed packages that don't keep bugs out. I'm outta here!

Joe L,
Thank you for your vote. .DAVE mentioned that, now you do, and I have become rather stuck on it myself. Just thinking about the varieties of innuendo involved is a complete episode in itself. Mixing of genderal stereotypes, bulldozer being suggestive of a number of things--and the poetic rhythm of the very words ''Barbara's Bulldozer.'' I find it difficult, perhaps even impossible, to come up with anything more fitting.
The most important element of Barbara's Bulldozer, at least to me, is the sensual content of the fantasy that it conjures up. I won't go into details on the Barbara of my fantasy at the controls of the D-8 Cat, but her tasks are never without an enthralled audience.
Star4u mentioned Rear Views, and .DAVE suggested Rhyme and Justice. Maybe I can think of a way to fit the three together. They all seem to fit together, in a sort of Cubist sense, with a very appealing social irreverence.

Ceil,
An Oatmeal fixation? I'm afraid you made me start thinking. I believe I will start a tub of hot water and get out the stale Instant Oatmeal. I'm going to take a bath in the stuff.

Star 4,
Hi. I'm comment processing right now, but I put you in front because you're here right now. Sometimes, when you miss comments for a few days, it gets really confusing.

majroj,
You are right about having to think carefully about that title of a blog. The name association is important, too. There are frequently blogs that you go to by familiarity with the person, even though the name may be really weird. The converse, of course, is also true. It does require some thought. I'm not sure if I can do that.
Help! Help! My Blog is out of control! (Or is it just me?)

ceil,
I think that definition of freestyle is quite poignant. It fully defines the term, yet it is not so dictatorially definitional that it constrains the meaning to something that fits like a Sunday Suit, dried-elastic socks, and little brother's water-shrunken shoes. And, most importantly, the definition allows itself sufficient fluidity to conform to changing needs. It will always fit. Excellent.

.Dave,
You know, I have developed a certain liking for Barbara's Buldozer myself. It has a really charming clash of genderal generalization elements that will, all by itself, draw a crowd of jeerer and cheerers. It's always a pleasure to draw such a crowd, then jump in the middle and get everyone mad at everyone else. At that point, all you have to do is step back and watch the fun.
Rhyme and Punishment is a very good suggestion. That was the novel by Dizzy Effski, wasn't it? (Some of those Russians sure have funny names.)
It's not my fault. I didn't say a thing.

You can erase that! But seriously
your blog name has to be a catcher and it should have yout name attached, at least at first. Look at Azur's titling for hints at catchy titles.
(My first one was "Uncle Chrome Dome's Emporium" or some such. OUCH!).

ciel,
Oatmeal sounds like a metaphor for seks content.
Is freestyle kind of like doing something without quite knowing what it is or why you are doing it? I'm quite expert at that. It's kind of like leaving the tailgate down on the truck so that the garbage falls out, and then telling the cop that some kids were fooling around at your truck.

Star 4,
Rear Views is good in that it would draw in the leering crowd that constantly complains about sexually suggestive content. I like to see them come around and project sexually suggestive content onto a box of soda crackers.
