A Twitter friend pointed it out...
And there it was... obvious to everyone but me.
My cyber-identity looked like a bad typo.
"How I Mountain" had suddenly become "Howl Mountain" when squeezed together to become a Twitter handle or a Facebook Page.
Howl Mountain. Not exactly the answer to the question "How Do You Mountain?" that I had intended.
My friendly Twitter buddy sent me a link to the shirt on the left, which received some awesome reviews on Amazon...
"I already had this exact picture tattooed on my chest, but this shirt is very useful in colder weather."
And this one...
"I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt."
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. But when I finished giggling, I was forced to face the fact that my best laid plans had gone astray. After locking down every domain, twitter handle, and Facebook Page name I considered relevant and necessary for this little contest... the one I am using doesn't read as planned. And it's a little late in the game to be switching it up.
Hmmm... then there's that. The best I could do was to change it to all lower case... But then it kinda looks like that TV show Howie Mandel hosted last year, HowieDoIt...
Maybe I'm over-thinking it. You can tell what it says, right? How I Mountain. howimountain. HowIMountain. Ughhh...
So, just to clarify, I'm providing the following links to avoid any confusion. Please bookmark, follow, 'like,' and visit them frequently. And tell your friends, I need their help, too.
On a brighter note... we're gaining momentum in them there Internets... Gretchen Bleiler, snowboard hottie and Olympic medalist supported our cause today with a retweet. I got goosebumps. I hope she knows it doesn't say 'howl'... because it would just be weird if she thought it did. She probably thought it was weird... But at least she wished me good luck!
I love it! You're a lone (wo)man wolfpack. You mountain like 'the Hangover'! You'll have to get a wolf shirt like that and wear it skiing once you win!
