I think I'll finally move forward with the blog re-naming. Any last minute pitches? Remember, your entry/nominee must keep with the DYBIP in my url. "Did You Bust it, Prissypants?" is leading the pack right now. I dig "Do Your Bitching in Private" for the irony. I also like "Damn! Yo' Bitch is Pregnant!" for sheer rudeness. "Drag Your Business Into Public" is great, but awkwardly crammed into the acronym.
Feelin' Elastic was blogging about the narcissism inherent to blogging. It's unavoidable. Even if you're not blogging about yourself, there you are, blogging, as yourself. And while I think I've almost killed off the very last of my urges to purge on the internet through the clusterf@#$ that is Facebook (which in part accounts for the piss-poor activity here at DYBIP), I have no desire to pull down the blog. None. Despite how good ol' Mr. Blog is reduced to a herky-jerky procession of tricks and gags, specially designed to shut down interchange and real "reaching out," hammering my dwindling readership with relentless irony, hard-to-swallow-in-comparison earnestness, self-deprecation, shameless bragging, even more shameless exhibitionism in tandem with extreme caginess, etc. That and tennis. And the occasional "DO WANT!" fashion blog. Despite all that. Here my blog remains. Staring out into them internets with unblinking eyes.
No one noticed that I didn't blog the Aussie Open. I did follow it, though. And then came the tears. OH, the tears.
Anyway.
::crickets chirping::
Here's a picture:
Yeah, there's always that.
How about:
*Downey, Your Butt Is Perfect!
*Denials You Believe In: Portland
*DEATH YOUTH BIRTH INFINITY PASSION (a blog about pretentious-ass '90s alt-rock)
*This is not a Fugazi T-Shirt

I don't quite follow the Portland one, but grand effort! Very formidable submissions!
New front-runners:
*Dear, Your Breath is Poison
*Dunk Your Biscotti in Poems
*Dank Yurts Breed Infected Polyps
They're all quite topical.

Also, further comments implying that Mr. Downey's perfection is limited to certain aspects of his person will be removed promptly, or edited liberally.
Consider yerselves warned.

I meant it to be like a CSI:[Your Town Here] thing. It originally featured the name of our hometown but I figured you wouldn't want to show up on that Google search.
More attempts:
*Down Yer Bracket, I Punched! [a reference to a Boyracer album.]
*Desert Your Boyfriend In Pittsburgh
*Don't "Yarr!", Buddy. I'm a Pirate!
*Donny, Your Brother Is a Prick (dedicated to the misdeeds of Marky Mark).

Ahaha! I must need a nap. Aaron's #3 and #4 almost made me tear up.

"dirty young boys in panties"
i think you will attract a whole new readership to your blog with that one.
or, to keep all topical with the end of the quarter:
"don't you blow in paper-writing"
that last word might be a cheating word.
