GOOGLE FINDS PERSPIRATION RATHER THAN INSPIRATION -- by Steve Nadis

A friend who once used the moniker Turd Blossom (I’m not sure what he’s calling himself these days) told me that when he looked up my email message on gmail, he was bombarded with all kinds of ads related to sweat and perspiration. There was an ad, for instance, for "Burning Man Wet Wipes"  www.actionwipes.com and  for Music Festival Wipes: "Xtra Big Xtra Thick. Clean Body Odor Grime Sweat." Or this: "Excessive Underarm Sweat?Natural, Quick & Permanent Solution Easily Reduce Sweating By 95%. Now! StopSweating.NewReview.info."

So my friend asks: "How does Google know about my perspiration issues?" He adds: "If this is not blog-worthy, I'm giving up." This post was a testament to the fact that I did not want him to "give up." At least not yet.

2 - Sounds like a gas additive... "ETB".
I'd go with your "Classic" name, T.B.
Stands out. ;)
