I'd rather not call this forum "Off-Topic" forever. I guess "General Discussion" is also a possibility. But I thought I'd ask if you folks have any suggestions? Any unique or catchy names we could call an off-topic and general chat forum here at ARWZ?

No... I'd keep thinking of Elija Wood.

Saundra knows my penchant for booze-related names. Just last night I helped my boyfriend name his dog with the inspiration of his favorite brands of whiskey.

It's not the name of a whiskey per se. Though "Jameson" was one of the names I suggested. He also considered "Eagle" after his favorite whiskey Eagle Rare. But after seeing the bottle of "Old Forrester" on his counter, I suggested the name "Forrest". Of all the names we bandied around, that was the one he liked best.

What'll you do if he decides to "Run, Forrest! Run!" away?

Many good possibilities....

I like best the ones tending toward the more generic. Like: "The Lounge"

Okay, I'm thinking something along the lines of:

The Cafe

But should it be more than that? Maybe "The ARWZ Cafe" or "The Alternative Cafe"?
