Will perform tricks for golden showers? I know its a little long BUT why change your blog title. It is tongue in cheek, I get that! And if you are an asshole, than your one of my favourite ones! Mwah, Bo

Then maybe I just need a new header/theme combo for my blog.  Any good ideas there?  I know some of you people are more familiar with the good themes than I am.  The “theme garden” just exhausts the hell out of me.

I Am Considering Renaming my Blog

The name “I’m So Goddamn Clever” is one I’ve used for various things for a long time.  Originally, it was the name of a parody webcomic of mine that didn’t last more than two or three installments.  Then it became my default blog title, and I’ve used it on Vox, Blogger, and now here.

But I think the name puts people off.  It’s meant to be tongue in cheek, but I don’t think that’s really communicated by the name and my glowering header.  I come off like an asshole, and I’m not an asshole.  Not all the time, anyway.

One option would be going with the “Hungry Like Kevin” name that I use on Twitter, or some variation on the “too cool for the straight kids, too square for the hipsters” bio line that I have over there.

Or something else entirely.  I want to see my profile on the Internet increase, not because I need the validation, but because I want to write or create for a living some day.

Got any good ideas?

What if I am fully schooled in Star Wars and just don’t give a shit?

My level of Star Wars give-a-shit varies daily.  My current status: the first and second movies (of the Real Trilogy) are the only parts of the series that are worth a shit, and 98% of the comics, cartoons and associated other rubbish can go to hell as well.

The Empire Strikes Back is solid cinema, though, probably because George Lucas actually had the least creative input into that movie out of all of them.

I’m probably going to be “unfriended”, but HUH?! I don’t think I’m ignorant, but I never got into Star Wars and all that jazz. If it’s any consolation, ask me about Fraggle Rock.

That’s actually the textbook definition of “ignorant”.

1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man. 2. lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics. 3. uninformed; unaware. 4. due to or showing lack of knowledge or training: an ignorant statement.

It doesn’t mean the same thing as “stupid”, which I don’t think you are.  You are, however, ignorant of Star Wars.   I guess I can forgive you if you were too busy eating Doozer sticks to learn about tauntauns.

“Stupid” would be unfollowing somebody because they don’t share my knowledge of 30-year old science fantasy films.

Sir, how dare you insinuate that Qui-Gon or Obi-Wan were not bad asses.

I’ll give you Qui-Gon (not even George Lucas can put a damper on Liam Neeson’s essential badassery), but as the prequels ruined everything else awesome about the Real Trilogy, so did they also ruin Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Oh, wait, I forgot R2.  He’s still the shit.

This is a tauntaun, a bipedal mammal native to the ice planet of Hoth that is used as a mount by the Rebel Alliance in The Empire Strikes Back.  It is here being ridden by Han Solo, the biggest (only?) badass in the Star Wars galaxy.

I don’t want to have to explain this to you again.
