What's In A Name?

I don't really understand this whole blog mentality. I've heard that, as a writer, it's becoming an important way to reach potential readers. To me they seem like the ultimate in self-involvement.

Wait a minute, I'm incredibly self-involved. So here's my blog.

The hardest part of starting this thing was thinking of a name. I wanted something quirky and unique. I thought and thought and thought some more.

I couldn't think of anything.

Then I looked at the wall behind my desk. Among other movie memorabilia I have a movie poster for the classic film "The Alligator People." On the same wall I have one of the only valuable pieces of art I own, an Alan M. Clark print of clowns taking over a subdivision.

Staring + Thinking + Getting Frustrated At The Whole Idea Of Blogs = Inspiration!

Alligator Clowns!!!

So that's it.

Welcome.
