Ishbadiddle, Inc.

Since the whois data on ishbadiddle.com opened up, I've had several databases thinking that I must be a business. Ishbadiddle has been offered a line of credit. Ishbadiddle was asked to take over Lehman Bros. 1 Today, Experian called me up:

Caller: Hello, is this Eesh... Badeedle?
Me: Who? [I don't usually get calls asking for Eesh Badeedle, and besides, I'm only on my third cuppa coffee.]
C: I'm trying to reach... [clearly struggling to pronounce Ishbadiddle, or figure out why any business would have any business calling itself that].... Eesh Badeedle.
M: [Finally connecting Eesh Badeedle to Ishbadiddle] Who's calling?
C: This is Experian. We're trying to update our business records for Eesh Badeedle.
M: It's not a business. It's just a website.
C: So there are no transactions involving Eesh Badeedle?
M: [Momentarily pondering what sort of transactions via this blog might qualify] Um, no. It's just a website.
C: It's just a website.
M: Yes.
C: OK. Would you like our toll-free number in case you have any questions?
M: No, not really!

[We wish each other a good day.]


1 Not really.
