isolobal.com manwench.com odvious.com twickster.com I had ideas for all, just hit me up if you want to hear any of it :)

I'd be scared to hear your idea for manwench.com

That was a combination joke/my attempt to bring back the word wench.

What can I say? I like the word itself, we just need to find a new meaning or someone get rid of the implications of the word.

(We were going to call our cheesy 90's cover band "men facing divorce" I got a little register-happy.)

hogornot.com

Why are you sitting on that? That website would take about 15 hours to build and will most likely earn you more than a few bucks for doing nothing.

Hmm -- all right, I'm on it.

If you're really bored with a domain and don't want to squat it, you could turn one of your short domains into a URL shrinker, we just opened up hosting for that yesterday:

I have a had many domains over the years that I decided to just let go of by not renewing, and then watched someone take them and do nothing with it. It's aggravating because now I have the ability to make these sites and can't because someone has had the domain for 6 years and never once updated it!

Currently, the only domain I'm really sitting on is:

www.hackershabitat.com

Currently infested by 4789 bots, and hasn't been touched in over a year. I just don't know what to do with it.

lifetagg.com evrware.com merberati.com nerderat.us yasurl.com I must confess that I registered all of these domains while intoxicated. [edit: spacing]

I'd be interested in lifetagg.com if you dont see a use for it anymore ...
