Startup Cudgel
By the way, this is the picture of Thor that’s on Wikipedia. Do you, or do you not see a big cudgel-type item in his hand?
Screw
Tonight I cried until my husband told me that I was beautiful.
That was the kind of day that I had. After the cry, I wanted to record my feelings in writing, which I often do when I have an overly emotional day of any type, so I rushed to the computer. Did I open a word document? Did I jot down my feelings in an email message or in notepad? No! I’m so psychotic, so utterly, totally insane, that instead of writing, I opened GoDaddy.com and searched for a domain name.
There are practicalities to deal with, after all.
But a name? Hmmm, a name. The struggle for a name! I searched for startupgirl.com (unavailable). Startupdown.com (unavailable). Startuppance (unavailable). miladystartup (available! but not quite right).
I ended up with startupcudgel.com.
You didn’t read that wrong.

What the hell is a cudgel, you ask? Well, that makes me want to tell you to screw. Because I have been harrassed for years because I happened to use the word cudgel in an everyday sentence. I believe that the specific sentence was, “Thor carried around a cudgel of justice.”
Look, I don’t want to debate about whether or not Thor carried around a cudgel of justice. The point is, a cudgel is a freaking awesome weapon. A cudgel will allow you to beat through doors, windows, and even walls. It will fend off your foes and clear a path through difficult circumstances.
“Carry a big stick,” right?
A freaking big startup stick.
