blogger word association

In Fever Pitch, one of the justifications (or maybe it's just a benefit) Nick Hornby offers for his obsessional love for the Arsenal football team is that it's a way of making people think about him. He knows that whenever people hear that Arsenal won or lost people will think "Nick will be happy/sad". It's stuck in my mind enough that whenever I hear any news about Arsenal I think of him, too.
The same thing works for bloggers. I think today B* and Sheepish have cemented the link between pandas and themselves, such that I will now be tempted to email all panda-related websites I come across to them*.

Other prompt-blogger word association pairs include:
parrots&StyleyGeek
kittens/Project Runway/Veronica Mars&Shrinky (kittens also go with Wolfa)
Richard Buckner&Luckybuzz (this has been coming up a lot since I rejoined emusic and downloaded his latest album)
TtFTE&Phantom (via LG and Baby Blue) (and challah french toast, which I almost ordered at the deli I went to on Monday, just because of reading about it on your blog, but I settled for plain challah toast with my omelette)
Also the various places people are from, if it's somewhere I have little other association with, at least, like Iowa&Jeremy.

I completely suck at word association, usually. The irc channel I used to hang out in used to have long word association games occasionally and I wouldn't be able to think of anything but the fact that I couldn't think of anything. I guess I just don't deal well with pressure. The pairs I mentioned might reflect that, since I have trouble thinking of specific examples for similar reasons, so that list isn't necessarily representative.

Anyone else have their own blogger associations to share or do I just spend too much time thinking about blogs? It has to be something that makes you immediately think of a blogger, not the other way around.

For some reason I feel vaguely uncomfortable posting about people like this. I think I may have offended people in the past because of a superficially unflattering association (different from the more convoluted one that actually existed in my head). I didn't try to think of any of the more random associations I probably have, but if you don't like what I've linked you with, I'll delete it.




*Don't worry, I won't actually do this. But here's a very cute picture for you.
