Graduation

So, I graduate from college in a little over a week with my B.A. in Economics and minor in math. Alas, I must rename my blog, lest I mislead serious readers into thinking I'm a know-nothing college kid (because now I'm a know-nothing graduate). What should I rename the 'ol blog?

I'm remembering a South Park episode, where Eric Cartman describes his experiences at theme parks... and amongst his recollection he says something about, "cantankerous kinks" or something to that effect.

Hmmm. This blog is about cantankerous kinks, isn't it?

The search continues.

Update: Cartman doesn't talk about cantankerous kinks but instead "rare Kartankulas plinks!" I found the transcript on the net (not the video because my computer is far too slow to watch it). I thought the part where Cartman talks about lines was so great that I'm uploading the transcript of that part here, as follows:

Cartman: Oh, but I'm not buying the park to get people to come.

Mr Foon: You... you're not?

Cartman: No no no! I'm buying it to keep people out! [Chris and Frank look at each other] Don't you see? Forever it has been my dream to have my very own theme park, so that I could be alone in it, all day, every day. I love theme parks. [zoom in] But the lines! Everywhere you go, people, crowds, [shot of people waiting to enter "The Mine Shaft"] The rides are great, but... [a shot of crowds on Main Street] All the lines, lines, LINES! [shot of people waiting to enter a ghost ride, another shot of a kids' mine shaft ride; another of Cartman pissed off, eyes squeezed shut, with waiting times floating past him] If there's one thing I hate, [a shot of two lines of people entering his head] all the lines, lines, lines, LINES!! [opens his eyes, and a moment later...] And then there get to be so many people [his eyes roll around independently of each other] that they make FastPass. [a shot of people in a FastPass line] So then there's lines for FastPass. [zoom out to show Cartman in line for a FastPass] You stand in line to get a ticket to stand in line later. Then there's lines for the bathrooms [two lines for the Waterworks Restrooms], lines for the drinks [Astro Food line], lines for cantakuras [Seussian characters play strange instruments for the people in line] and rare Kartankulas Plinks! [a vendor sells them - they are a fruit treat shaped like strawberries] ...And, so you see, this park is for me. Nobody else will be allowed in it. [Emphasis added]
