I'm such a web nerd, when I get drunk, I register domain names. So I was drinking with my Friend Dave last year and I ordered imbeingattackedbyashark.com and that was hiiiiilarious. →[More:]

Not too long ago I got to the bottle again and ordered inflatablemates.com.

I don't really know what to do with it, now that I'm sober. Any thoughts?

I also order shit from ebay while drunk. I just got a parking meter.

Any thoughts?

Hide the credit card when you're drinking? A parking meter?!

it was $7!!! COME ON! wouldn't you buy one?

posted by joelf 05 December | 17:01

damn... 7 dollars for a parking meter? I should check ebay more often.

in the imbeingattackedbyashark.com site, put up a photo of a cat in a leather jacket with two thumbs up, saying "Fonzie cat is not amused."

(sorry for the serial posting)
And then everyone will go to your site and be like "Holy shit, a cat with opposable thumbs!"

Oh God.

I also do this, and should not. Annoyance at OkCupid + vodka = registration of singlefattieswithcats.com.

It's empty. I haven't decided what to do with it.

I think I'd rather have a parking meter.

Blog your drunken ebay purchases on inflatablemates.com. It would be fun whether or not you have drunken sex with them.

we're soul mates! Soul mates that only register horrible, horrible websites.

Also on my list is all you could eat, which is actually turning into something cool, eventually, and will kill us all, which is pretty cool bacause you can now jam people's names into the sub domains to make randomly generated fake news. metachat will kill us all

But the parking meter is cool too.

You are a very weird, disturbed, and have a lot of time on your hands.

I like that in a person.

I own alterfaq.com and .info, dreamlandjapan.com and zuiichi-event.com

I was planning on using alterfaq as a fake faq to use when people annoyed me.

The other 2 are actually legit. *shrugs*

Ah, I'm such a lightweight. Those are impressive. I believe that drunken.registration.willkillusall.com or, y'know, at least a couple of us.

My friends encourage this behaviour. I fear this may happen.

posted by joelf 05 December | 17:45

I almost went and registered whatcanwedo.com in answer, but it's $3,630 and there isn't enough vodka in the world for that.

posted by notquitemaryann 05 December | 17:49

I agree. $10 is cool for something like battlehamster.com but I wouldn't spend any more than that.

posted by joelf 05 December | 17:58

battlehamster.com

Taken, but astonishingly battlehamsternow.com is not.

posted by notquitemaryann 05 December | 18:08

GoDaddy informs me that myToesAreOnFire.com is available, thank god, but not ChestnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire.com. More troubling: burntheworld.com is taken.

I have kind of a pyro theme going.

My old company took battle hamster in an abuse of my trust. I was drunk and they thought it was a good idea :(

posted by joelf 05 December | 20:22

ThisDomainIsTaken.com is available.

posted by joelf 05 December | 20:24

Oh boy I do this too. It's how I ended up using wombquake.com for my baby blog.

posted by gomichild 05 December | 22:13

Meanwhile, ThisDomainIsAvailable.com is not.
