Hot, Haute, Heisse Mama

I am a fond of crossword puzzles.  Not that I am good at them, having never completed a puzzle without cheating, but for a few minutes at least, I enjoy the challenge.  Once a week, I pick up the Wall Street Journal and for fifteen minutes I am the smartest person I know.  Then the clues get too difficult, I run out patience, or the baby cries and the crossword is forgotten. 

This week I tackled the ultimate crossword puzzle.  The title: My Online Startup, Purveyor of Nursing Bras and Breastfeeding Accessories.  The clue - A catchy name for a cute mom that doesn't also happen to be a porn site.  Several hours and $100 in domain name purchases later, I found myself doing something I never thought I would do.  Baby on one knee, computer on the other, I drafted an email to the Luxembourgian owner of  a porn site.  With the memory of my college business writing professor in my head, I began.  "Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to inquire as to the price of your porn site.  I see that traffic has not been high this year, so perhaps you would be willing to sell the domain name?  Please respond at your earliest convenience.  P.S. I speak English."  

It just didn't seem the right approach.  

Why you ask did I end up emailing the Luxembourgian owner of a porn site to ask to buy his domain name?  Because like a crossword puzzle, I lost patience with the clue and decided to make the word fit.  In pen.  

I still haven't heard back from Mr.(or Ms. - you never know!)Gross Porn Site, but I have stuck with my original business name.  Announcing HotMamaNursingSupplies.com, HotMamaNursing.com, Mamaconleche.com, and Bebeconleche.com, but absolutely not the obvious catchy two-word name.com.
