Peter Demain of Dirty Garnet on the name of this blog:

> *I personally despise the name as it brings back memories of humdrum minutes in my youth spent watching some flat-capped florid faced farmer train a sheepdog to be a sheepdog in a boringly verdant setting. *
I chose it to create *exactly *that torment.
