Meme: the name of the blog
Have you ever wondered why some blogs are called what they're called? I hope so, because you have just been tagged. Please participate if you can. Here are the steps: (1) Explain the name of your blog. Why this name and what does it mean? (2) Find two blogs/bloggers with groovy names and and tag them. Joseph's Blog isn't groovy. The Tin Shack Bazaar is. Let us play.
I tag Stephen: Morphological Confetti and Annie: Scenes from a Slow-moving Train.
Here they are:

So who tagged you?
Or have you just started this meme now?
Just started it, Steve. I hope someone tags you to have to explain Khanya, or Notes from Underground, the first being a lesson in Sesotho as well.

My blog is called 'as it happens' which alludes to the idea that as something happens it is being recorded, and also, the conversational term one hears sometimes - e.g. 'Yes, as it happens, I do have the time on me.' (Pretty lame.) My url is andbottle washer because I am chief biscuit and bottle washer - as opposed to chief cook and bottle washer - my surname being Cooke; or cookie; which is the American term for what we call a biscuit. See? Clear as mud eh!
As for two blogs with interesting names -: I love Marie's 'How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Herring' and Clare's 'Keeper of the Snails'.
chiefbiscuit,
Got it. Ain't muddy as soon as you explain it. As it happens, I'd already thought of the Cooke/biscuit link, but not through the Americas (cookie). I hope Marie and Clare will tell us about their monikers, too.
Thanks for choosing me. I'll get on it and post it this week.
Stephen,
Can't wait to discover it. Blessings.
Thanks to chiefbiscuit, I'm here to say that in the beginning, I hadn't really given too much thought to my blog name. When I started, blogging was a new thing and I didn't really know much about it.
The name was based on this article by Douglas Adams. I thought it was a great title, so I adopted it and gave it a bit of a Swedish flavour by including the herring (being something that we foreigners here have a bit of trouble adjusting to eating!) As the idea of the blog was as a tongue-in-cheek look at an Aussie living in Sweden, it seemed to fit.
The most sensible meme I have seen for a long time. I often see blogs and think this question. Cool bananas.
Wonderful idea, I do wonder sometimes why bloggers choose those strange names for their blog...can't wait to read Stephen's response
