Domain Names I’ve Bought Whilst Drunk…

Domain Names 18 Comments »

Wandering around the internet late of an evening is a well documented affiliate malaise. On many an occasion we are struck by a blinding bit of inspiration in the wee small hours. Unfortunately, in my case this inspiration is sometimes driven on by a bottle of wine and ten large whiskies.

Sometimes I find domains in my account I don’t remember putting there! A quick spot of private detectoring usually reveals that the registration date took place the night before I suffered an inexplicably terrible hangover.

I’m going to list some of these mystery domains here, as well as the reasons and inspiration I can either remember or pieced together afterwards after thoroughly questioning witnesses who were present at the time I lept up off the sofa and crashed off in the direction of my home office at 2am.

bikinitrimmers.co.uk – This was as a result of a frank conversation with one of my best friends regarding personal grooming and how women like ordering these kind of products anonymously. It’s probably not a bad domain, I’ve just never gotten round to developing it. I can actually remember registering this one.

boyfiends.co.uk and girlfiends.co.uk – Another girls night in. I believe the theme of the evening was “all men are bastards”. My idea was one of them grass your ex in type affairs. The female domain was registered after a grudging consensus was reached in the room that some girls could be total bastards as well.

diyhell.co.uk and diyhell.com – Drinks were taken by myself and the other half after a particularly protracted bout of DIY which involved him stripping 57 layers of highly toxic paint off the hall and livingroom in my Victorian flat. Apparently I burst into our (by then well appointed) livingroom after a somewhat lengthy trip to the toilet and announced my great new site idea plus domain names.

howtoluciddream.net – I wasn’t drunk when I bought this one, I couldn’t sleep! Tantamount to the same thing as it transpires, as I “found” this domain name some weeks later. I used to be plagued with the most awful nightmares so I now remember that I decided to write an online blog type thing documenting my attempts to get the bad men in my dreams under control.

leglove.co.uk – Another great post-chardonnay idea. This was actually for a site about hosiery until my friends sniggeringly pointed out that it looked more like the name of a fetish site. I’m not quite ready to explore that world, so it will be idling in my account for some time to come!

Pashpoints.com – my very favourite half-cocked idea. A sex toy reward points site. Buy all your naughty stuff though us toys, lingerie, adult dating, etc… and get points towards naughty prizes. I decline to comment on the topic of conversation in my livingroom that evening, but I vaguely remember it all being very funny at the time.

I bet others have registered worse than I, and to be frank the above does not represent full disclosure. There are one or two I fear might ruin my reputation for life, lol!

Anyone else care to share some 3am domain examples? ;)
