Since you call us 'peeps', I guess this makes us chickens. If this is true, you must be a 'rooster', if you're a hen I have no suggestions, and as a rooster, you are 'The Cock of the Walk". You could rename your blog as "Some thoughts from a Cock' or 'Cockie Thoughts', maybe even 'Cock-eyed Wisdom". I lean towards the new title being 'A Pryor Opinion'. To me, it is a nice play on words, as you so often do in your writings. According to some sources, the name Gladwell means, 'You have excellent ways of viewing people.' This definitely applies to you, but you would probably catch some flack if you named your blog 'Gladwell II', so I would stick with 'A Pryor Opinion'. See you at the 'coop.'

How about, "Not Malcolm Gladwell" and I'll legally change my name to that afterward

A little awkward and many people are not aware of Malcolm Gladwell. Don't tell him, he thinks his name is on everyone's list of must-read authors - unlike your name which is known by everyone who is anyone.

Pryor Convictions sounds nice.

Pryor Knowledge is okay but it makes the pub sound very straight-laced… that’s not your style. I’m going with a write in: Pryority Voice

Great addition to the pot

Pryor Knowledge. It's powerful, has a legal connotation, and it's smart (like you).

Against the apparent grain here I vote for A Pryory! Probably the least useful as some will need to google it, correctly spelled in Latin , to know why its so damn clever. NYTimes is a close second just because sometimes sticking it to them is worth those last few pieces of lint!

Haha very valid thoughts

I like your thoughts, but it is not our lint and JJ might feel differently. Maybe he could start a Kickstarter page to raise funds to combat the Gray Lady? He could also change the spelling to the Latin 'a priori' or even 'a posteriori' which will confuse even more people. This will leave only us nerds and want-to-be wordsmiths in the loop.

The New York Times, definitely!

I like Pryority. But maybe adding "The". So, The Pryority.

Or you could play around WTFact. Something like "The F".
