Contest Winner: The Blog She is Named

The contest is finally over. Ben and CmdrSue are co-winners, and what are their prizes, Johnny? As you suspected, they win the right to have a blog with a cool name listed on their respective blogrolls.

Mine Was an Evil Laugh was the early favorite until Tom discovered it was in use on Live Journal.

Property of a Lady is a short story by Ian Fleming, in which James Bond uncovers a mole within MI6 via a Sotheby’s auction. (The auction is depicted in the movie Octopussy, itself originally a short story title.)

Originally, Arthur thought of Property of a Lady as the name of a band in some fiction he’s writing. I thought it was a terrific name for a band and asked if I could use it as such in some fiction I’m writing. He said sure, but later he felt a little squicky about me using it as a blog title, which is much more public. (And not a band.) So I’m very, very glad he relented and allowed me to steal his very clever idea.

  5. Well, dang. Guess I’m late to this party.

    Right after I started my blog, it hit me that the ultimate blog name would be “Delusions of Grammar”.

    But I still might use it for something, so you can’t have it. Nyah. Nyah. Nyah.

    Thanks for coming by my place and leaving a comment.

    I like your blog, Rex, only sometimes I get confused and think I’m at Tom’s.
