This is not a sushi blog: How its name came to be.

Wil:

The name of our blog is "This is not a sushi blog". For our sparse audience, this title is rather meaningless and frivolous (duh). One might wonder how such a dynamic duo such as the Dream Team (Megs and Wil Inc.) came about such a peculiar name for their own little spot on the internet.

Well it begins with a piece of paper on which we did our brainstorm to think up a title for our newly conceived blog. One word written down in scribbly 'Wil' handwriting was 'pushi', which was a common result of trying to type 'sushi' while using predictive txt messaging (major fail on the mobile phone companys part!). So for the majority of this year, 'sushi' was fondly known as 'pushi'.

Incorporating our love for pushi, I wanted to name our new blog "The Art of Pushi". Being the street smart boy that I am, I decided to google the word 'pushi' just to make sure that it didn't have some vulgar or foreign-ly offensive meaning that we weren't aware of. Well, it's safe to say now that Megs and I aren't too keen on the word 'pushi' anymore thanks to Urban Dictionary. Google it.
I then made the suggestion of simply using sushi: "The Art of Sushi", but then it sounded misleading, as it implied that our blog was going to be about, well, the art of sushi, which it clearly was NOT going to be. I said to myself, "Our blog isn't going to be about sushi!". It was at that point that Megs (your genius is showing..) suggested that rather trying to name our blog on what it was going to be about, we should name it on what it wasn't going to be about. So that's where the name of our blog came from: This is not a sushi blog.



P.S, Megs has the most annoying keyboard ever (well, more like annoying asian settings) back on her home computer.
