I come to bury IAmCarbonatedMilk.com, not to praise it

If you've ever registered a domain name based on a "bright idea", this is for you. I'm one of those people, at one point owning 40+ domain names. Every idea, a new domain. At the time, you think "It's brilliant! I can't lose!". Later you think "What the hell was I thinking?". If that's you, this is your article. And if you see your domain mentioned, hey, at least you got some fame for not actually doing anything. <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" />

Hahahah, thats a great read. I particularly found this domain name ammusing: "IHateAndrewSalkeldTheFatUglyGreasyStarTrekLovingWanker.com" I was laughing throughout the whole article. Who actually registers these names?? :D

The whole article was really funny, though it was a bit sad as well. There are 15 Million lapsed domain names at any one time! That's a lot of lost dreams (though some seemed to be nightmares!). Still - what were some of those people thinking?????

I wonder why www.AFreeSecretHowToResidualWealthBuildingListOfTricksTipsAndIdeas.com or www.Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-NFL-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art.com didn’t do well? :lol:

GUILTY! Although nothing extreme, I did pick up some during the boom and eventually let them go.

Funny article.

That's almost as odd as your avatar. :wink:

There are some very cool avatars around at the moment I must say!
