I’m a psychologist with an unwholesome interest in why bloggers blog. Do you think I could call myself a blogologist?

I’ve heard of krispykremologists, but I’m actually a dunkendonutologist.
And yes, there IS a place called Hot Dog on a Stick. It’s gross but kinda good.

Thanks for listening. It was getting pretty quiet here at the bottom of the comments section. (e.g. No one elese loved my golden pavilion joke….)

“Bonnie Miss” – Uh, please see my above comment where I clearly state that Seamus is already claiming the Canfield’s sodaologist role. Did he steal that from you, or vice versa?
Erik – krispykremologist?
Pants – Hot Dog on a Stick? Does such a wondrous place truly exist?
Tim V – I used to pretend to be a hobo as a kid, mainly because I liked wrapping up my meager belongings in a handkerchief and tying it to the end of a broomstick.
Hap – Wouldn’t that be an aholologist?
Romy – So would speleoenology be the study of wine cellars? Yum!

actually, etymologically speaking, speleology is the study of *caves*. oenology is the study of wine. my alma mater university offers a degree in viticulture and oenology. (why did i never take a course in that department? too busy being an english major, i guess. sheesh.)
i’m giggling at “Aologist.”
you could always just tell the truth – you are a cyber-neologist. you make up new words for use on the internet.

Since I study so many assholes, I’m considering self-branding as an Aologist. Not be confused with an AOLogist, who studies AOL users. Lots of crossover, mind you….

Why be a hoBBologist when you could be a hoBologist- studying the lifestyles and habits of the American hobo. You could talk of studies on rail-jumping migration patterns, vittle consumption- and if you want to ditch someone- start a rant about hobos vs. bums, and “oh, yes, there’s a difference!”

I have a friend who tells people she is a flight attendant when she’s at bars. I’d like to tell people I work at Hot Dog On A Stick, but I don’t think I could say that with a straight face.

I was reading your comments and I read “entomologist” wrong and thought it said “Entemannsologist” and then thought, wouldn’t it be cool if your job was to be an expert in yummy pastry foods?

Sodaologist: Say you work for Canfield’s soda. You travel from location to location (in the U.S. and in international stores/venues) buying and tasting their sodas to determine/confirm proper levels of carbonation and taste satisfaction. Go on and on about factors that affect soda goodness: altitude problems, extreme heat/cold, kosher sodas, cans versus plastic, UV degradation of ingredients…oh I could go on and on…
