    Why?

    We need some additional liner tiles for our bathroom project, and they have been discontinued. I have looked online, local, whatever. Found some on eBay from a seller called 'peduncle'. Ya really.

    Why would someone deliberately choose to be named peduncle?

    Please explain.

      Because the person may be a botanist or a surgeon?

        @axtremus Selling tile? Possible. Not likely, but possible.

          @brenda said in A question for the forum:

          Why would someone deliberately choose to be named peduncle?

          I had a friend who rented out an apartment near Boston. He told me that one of the prospective tenants used to send him completely regular and seriously worded emails regarding rent and contractual what-not, but that she had the email address 'theseboobs4U'. Apparently, it didn't work out.

          I was only joking

            @doctor-phibes Well, that one doesn't quite carry the ewwwwww factor the peduncle does. Tasteless, yes, but not ... cringey.

            I hope Ax is right that there's a reasonable explanation. I may have to buy the product from this person.

                        There was a company when the internet started that specialized in pens.

                        Their name was Pen Island

                        Their internet name was penisland . com

                        Oops!!

                        EDIT: Sorry, did not realize it was a "live" link. I have separated the letters so it is not "clickable"
