AN IDEA THAT JUST CLIQUE CLICKED

Over the last couple of days the name “Mouse Pack” started to sound kind of creepy. You know, like a bunch of little critters scampering across a hardwood floor.

Eeek!

A couple of days ago I was in the shower lip-syncing to a Little Stevie Wonder record (I knew Stevie when he was little). I started syncing and thinking and syncing and thinking and then, it just clicked.

According to the dictionary:

Click
n: 1: depression of a button on a computer mouse;

Clique
n: 1: an exclusive circle of people with a common purpose [syn: coterie, ingroup, inner circle, PACK, camp]

Is that us, or what?

Roll this over your tongue, “The Mouse Clique.” That’s what we all do, isn’t it? We move our mouse and clique click. Wow, it’s a double mousentendre!

Build a better mouse clique, and they will come.

Well, you came. And, just being here reading this makes you a member of:

THE LLOYD THAXTON MOUSE CLIQUE

Cool.

Hey ... it CLIQUES!! Maybe we could come up with our own brand of soft drink ... naaaaah ... on second thought, who'd buy MOUSE CLIQUER?? (Maybe drunk mouses ...).
Seriously, though, it's VERY cool ... a great association in the name that EVERY PC USER WILL USE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER!!
"We're just a MOUSE CLIQUE away!"
