We do not know where else to post a blog title related issue. Regarding “a fine mess” – the new moniker of this fine (non messy) site - You are in some umm – notable - company with that title - including - a classic 1986 Blake Edwards movie of the same name - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091051/ - often called Blake's renaissance masterpiece. Also the 1930 forgettable, in contrast to Blake's masterpiece "another fine Mess" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020643/ - from the two flashes in a pan, Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy. Echoing the redundancy which the title infers, this 1930 piece was directed by a James Parrot. Though we are sure there is no truth to this speculation – certain parties are saying after a lengthy and creepy monitoring of - http://afinemess.ca/ – you “parroted” the name as a form of tribute - though both PJ, and I (who is just a scribe for the digitally challenged young chap), know this is a stretch. I guess we will conclude – given your history of almost idol worship towards Howie Mandel - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howie_Mandel - (Ted Danson’s unfairly overshadowed costar in the Blake classic)– the name was borrowed from the Blake Edwards 1986 under rated gem - http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=7473980 . If you had asked PJ “Deal or No Deal?” he would have replied “Got Milk?”

Sheesh, well...I only looked on Blogspot to see if it had been taken. That ca site I've never seen till just now and I figured I would just use "a fine mess" for it's age old saying value which I just assumed is where the movies had drawn it. I supposed that if you took any saying there would be plenty of popular culture around it. Blakes masterpiece I have not even seen. I liked Laurel and Hardy but never eve saw that whole film. Guess I should research things more thoroughly. I feel like I got whomped for not thoroughly vetting a cabinet appointee!!
