Getting What I Need

January 30, 2008 6:44 PM

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" seems to be the theme song of the week. I'm hoping it doesn't turn out to be the theme song of the year.

I'm also hoping you aren't too sick of sock monkey entries to cast your vote officially in the naming contest:

The poll closes on February 6 at noon. There may or may not be a prize for the winner, but only if you give me suggestions on what that prize should be.

I voted, but I'd still like to suggest the name Captain Toastyfeet.

I'm surprised the name Frodo hasn't come up yet...

golfwidow - Nice! I may have to name one of the slippers that.

Team Christmas - Dude, you know that poor sock monkey would be covered in drool 24/7 if his name was Frodo. Nobody at work would appreciate watching me make out with it all the time, and I'm sure my family members wouldn't like it too much either. :(

This election is rigged! It won't let me vote more than once. :(

Juan Pedro is clearly the way forward. Take it from somebody who names anything she looks at!

Finnigan - Fin for short. The others are completely and totally unacceptable.

I voted for Juan Pedro. I'm from Texas, so I'm comfortable with Hispanic names!

Tez - I personally actually hope that one doesn't win, but only because, with a friend whose nickname is Monkey, things might get confusing for me.

d - Thank you!

Sanko - Spoken like a true Chicagoan.

Zoe - It seems you're not the only one who thinks so! Juan Pedro is winning as I write this.

C - Finnigan is one of my personal favorites, for sure. :)

Thursday's Child - That last sentence needs to be on a shirt. It can be a quick way to identify all you Texans when I go down there and start shooting people up. I mean... giving people hugs.

Joel D - Niiiice. That is a fantastic idea. I do believe he would need a sweet wrestling outfit, though, to make that truly awesome. Mayhaps some talented soul on the blogosphere will make him one.

Mostly Lisa - Sweet!! You make it seem so effortlessly cool, too. I am jealous. As usual.

I said Finnigan, just to say "I said Finnigan."

Well, it was a good run, and of course this mean you'll have to get another sock monkey and name him Finnigan right off!
