One of the great mysteries of the blogosphere is why Charles Johnson's excellent blog is named "Little Green Footballs".
The site's reader-created FAQ states:
Q. Where does the name “little green footballs” come from?Well, we've just had a huge break in the case, in the form of the following paragraph from a New York Sun article profiling Johnson and the prominence of his blog:
A. Charles ain’t telling…
Mr. Johnson, who is 51, founded Little Green Footballs early in 2001 as an offshoot of his Web-design business. He won't disclose what those titular footballs mean, saying only that they're not a drug reference, that they have something to do with a stay in Japan, and that there were "actual little green footballs involved."I'm putting on my pajamas and getting to the bottom of this.
Stay tuned...
