Hi mac!
kickthecan is a great idea! Too bad someone thought of it first and now want's to sell it.
It really is amazing, isn't it, how hard it is to find something available? I guess this is why people come up with all the convoluted spellings and twisted around words.
From "Red Rover":
Let your kid come over.
Too bad about kickthecan. Kicky would have loved that.
redrover.com?
Did you try boomerang.com?
Yes. I tried redrover.
Plus, gofish and hopscotch and other games and other foods and other this and other thats and without goofing on the spelling everything seems to be taken.
The best I have been able to come up with is "littlegreen" and, if any of those domain reservers have read this it is probably gone by now even if the vaccuum people could be circumvented.
There is one other that I'm checking out that I'm not in love with but it seems to be available and I'm afraid to even mention it least it get snapped up too. I think it is too long and a bit too complicated.
If you want to know PM me and I will send it to you to find out what you think!
Cheese stands alone
Kids in season
Catch a fox
The last one stops
boomerang.com is a children's television station website.
I LOVE "the cheese stands alone"! That's a great one. When I tried it my computer started downloading some webcam softwear though.
How weird is that!?
Have I suggested, "Pickle in the middle?"
"pickleinthemiddle" is hilarious! Unfortunately it brings up an index page for something. I don't know if that means it's in use or what.
I'm really curious about what pickle in the middle is.
Noddy?
From one of your thread titles: Hockeysticks
The whole phrase is "Pickle in the middle with the mustard on the top." which turns out to be a catch phrase that entered the language from a Jack Benny radio show (1947).
Do you remember "Pig in the middle"? where the unlucky player-of-focus was in a center of tormenters trying to get a mitten or a hat or a homework assignment?
You had to confess you were "pig in the middle" until you got your property back. "Pickle in the middle" didn't work, but it was an acceptable gesture of defiance.
Artie Auerbach, who played "Mr. Kitzel" on the Jack Benny show, uttered that famous phrase. The entire quote was...................
"Pickle in the middle with the mustard on top. Just the way you like it, and it's always hot".
Good grief. I can't remember something that happened yesterday, but that phrase is a clear to me as if Mr. Kitzel uttered it today!
pocketfullofposes.com seems to be available. (Although I can't get Network Solutions to admit it.)
doubledutchphotos.com is available as well.
puffinportraits.com (There once was a puffin in the shape of a muffin...)
We called the same game "keep away" or "monkey in the middle" - I don't recall having to holler Uncle to get your stuff back though.
Hey, how about holleruncle.com?
DrewDad! Where in the heck have you been? I haven't seen you in ages.
Kinda like mac....
..... kind of suspicious.....
Are you guys up to something?
Tell me, if you know - how does this domain thing work? If I get a blank page after typing in an address is the name in use? If I get redirected to a site that doesn't use the same address is it in use?
Say.... for instance.... "monkeyinthemiddle" sends me to a pet site called petparty.com. Have they got both names registered?
Just got back from two weeks at a customer's site. Glad to be home.
You should do a "whois" search. This will tell you if the domain is registered.

You can purchase the domain from networksolutions as well, if you find one you like.
Wow!
Thanks. That's great.
Now I'm wondering what a legitimate offer might be to buy one of the ones I like that aren't being used but are registered to someone else.
Any idea?
Not a clue.
A lot of places are "squatters." They pick a large number of domain names, register them, and redirect them all to some link farm. Then they try to make money off of people wanting to buy the names.
Looks like "pocketfullofposes" was being updated, which is why I couldn't get Network Solutions to tell me the status.
<sigh>
I think I'll have to give up on the kid speak idea. Everything, and I mean everything -- even the really off the wall ones - are taken.
Now I'm thinking in terms of those crazy Japanesey word combinations.
Oh! Oh!
I think I found one!
I'm waiting to hear from my guy when it gets registered. I just called him so I should know something soon.
As soon as I hear from him I'll tell you all what it is!
