Blog History

We should make up a back story... I was thinking along the lines of the history of Pavement. There was a rumour when Pavement first came out (before I heard of them) that they didn't write their own songs, that there was a secret songwriter behind it all. I was thinking we should make up a site owner/inventor who we occassional reference. Sort of like this blogs very own god/family business owner whose family business is this blog. This story might help with the blog name too. Maybe this is crazy?
