From whence came the name?

My roommate's famous last words: I don't think we are that bizzare...

She also believes in the famous "show-not-tell" format, as you'll see in the conversation below. So, if you want to witness first-hand how bizzare we truly are sometimes, you'll want to keep track of this blog cuz as she's written, this is where the panda and polar bear worlds collide and who know what'll come outa our mouths... or muzzles. Our very cute furry muzzles... :-)

So, how did we come up with the name for this site? Observe the behind-the-scenes, witty banter that occurs during the workday... cuz you know, we're always so hard at work...

jonahsmiles: so when will we launch our joint blog?
Edithbear: whenever. :) i can do it today if you are eager =D
jonahsmiles: we can call it panedith bear :-)
Edithbear: hahaha
jonahsmiles: and the tagline can be "only for the pure of heart, holy and wise" followed by "unless you are learning to be peace"
Edithbear: although i think panedithbear sounds kinda weird
jonahsmiles: or "turn Buddha off and turn God on" :-) "time to switch the channel" :)
Edithbear: uhh can we call it panda-polar-bear?
jonahsmiles: aww, it's less fun... hmmmm
Edithbear: well i don't think it's fair that my name needs to be in the blogname but yours is not
jonahsmiles: hahah we can call it "black and white noise" or Bear truths :-) or Bear with us
Edithbear: hehe... heeeheeeheee i'm obviously the all-white polar bear because i am pure
jonahsmiles: Bearing our souls :-P
jonahsmiles: OHHHHHH.... Beary-funny-banter
Edithbear: hahahahaha seriously?
jonahsmiles: what do you think? I'm just throwing out ideas
Edithbear: it's cute :) and the name is available
jonahsmiles: funny can be changed to a different adj. i just liked the alliteration of beary and banter..
Edithbear: bubbly heeheeheehee bouncy or maybe just bear-banter? you think that's boring tho, huh ;)
jonahsmiles: heee. beary-merry-banter
jonahsmiles: we could go with bantering-bears
Edithbear: ok!
jonahsmiles: is that fun?
Edithbear: i think so ... ask roof :)
jonahsmiles: we need an other adj i feel. ahhh. bizzare. we need to get the word bizzare in there
Edithbear: we do? bizarre-bantering-bears. that's so long!
jonahsmiles: or just bizzare banter
Edithbear: but we're both bears!
jonahsmiles: we can get rid of the hyphens. bizzarebearbanter. ok ok, bantering bears is fine :)
Edithbear: heehee, i don't think we are that bizarre
jonahsmiles: i'm looking for a word like, silly or funny or something cuz our conversations are a bit odd sometimes
Edithbear: i mean i'm sure all other roommates have similar conversations...
jonahsmiles: especially about being peace, heeehee
Edithbear: i think we can manage to show our bizarreness rather than tell it outright
jonahsmiles: bantering-zen-bears
Edithbear: omg. bantering-buddha-bears
jonahsmiles: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA LOL
Edithbear: did you really laugh that much out loud?
jonahsmiles: no, i'm stiffling it but everyone around me is looking at me...
Edithbear: hahahaha
jonahsmiles: we HAVE to go with that
Edithbear: they must think you're weird ;) um, ok. if it made you laugh that much. i guess we do
jonahsmiles: noooo, that's probably too momentary ... it's just funny
Edithbear: plus people will think we're not christian anymore
jonahsmiles: our first posting should be aLL the names we considered
Edithbear: that's what i was gonna say! good thing we have a running record of it in gchat!
jonahsmiles: so how will the address loook http://banteringbears.blogspot.com/?
Edithbear: yep, i think that looks fine

Oh, btw, we're in the process of getting all our suggestions copyrighted so don't try to steal any of our ideas :-P If you do, we'll come after you with the "Elle" magazine and the slingshot-worthy projectile brookies....
