My wife's ex was college buds with a guy who bought fuck.org back in 1999. I know he's been offered upwards of $1 million for it, probably more by now, but he's never given it up. My wife even got an email address out of it, though she doesn't use it. Dude's never even bothered to put up a web site. It's still just a single html file that says "fuck you" in the metadata.

#162I have grainislife.com which has nothing to do with wheat, barley, seeds of any kind, or agriculture of any sort. Nor does it have anything to do with the unit of mass.

#163I own fullofcr.app and flab.by. No idea what to do with them.
A blogs around the proctocology, and the weight loss industries, respectively?

#164> In Warhammer 40K, the Orks faction have a big robot called a Stompa, but in French it gets translated as ‘Krabouillator’ for some reason. The Stompa looks nothing like a crab, so nobody remembers why it got translated to ‘Krabouillator.’ Stompa is another way to spell stomper. krabouillator would have been obvious to any French speaking person as meaning ecrabouilleur, or one that stomp. A far cry from crab (or cra…
For what is worth 'Krabouillator' most likely should evoke Ekrabouillator which would be an orcish spelling of écrabouillateur (not a real word either) which is someone who "écrabouille"/crush/stomp. Écrabouiller is a real verb.
So: To stomp > stompa and Écrabouiller -> Krabouillator.

> Schlock Mercenary is supposed to be launching a new series too... I can find no mention of this anywhere.

#167The Yes & No monogram in our studio’s identity is also the URL – ꑮ.com. We repurposed a Unicode A46EYI glyph (Yi Syllable XYP). https://xn--bj8a.com (ꑮ.com) (For instance, all versions of Safari display the symbol in the address bar.)
Oh dear, all I see is the New York Yankees logo.

#168Back in the old days, I had iam.coop (my work nickname at the time) for a few weeks. It turns out that when domain registrars say they’re going or check your eligibility, they mean it. I failed. They took it back. For two glorious weeks my email address was hello@iam.coop
Haha, I've done something very similar recently. I go by the name Cloud in some circles, so recently got thenameis.cloud when I needed a spare domain.

I did think of using "flab.by" as an affiliate site for weight loss products. I thought maybe selling email addresses for fullofcr.app. EG "[politician is]@fullofcr.app"

The [politician]©fullofcr.app might have a limited market or at least limited lifecycle, but would be both hilarious, and I think very fulfilling for whatever each customer buys! As far as for flab.by, I actually think the affiliate links idea is a good one.
