phoon

I’ve been meaning to blog about this for a while. Well, a comment on this blog reminded me about it yesterday and I guess I’ll just blog about it.

If you search for “phoon” on the internet , you’ll get this :

For pete’s sake they stole my surname !!

It’s a silly little pose you take whenever you’re anywhere. There’s a whole bunch of people actively taking pictures of themselves in poses like these. Here , see for yourself:

Hi Jason,

My apologies to all Phoons (and Poons) out there! It’s a beautiful surname. Someday, maybe I’ll have the misfortune of discovering that someone likewise made up a word, “darrow”, which turned out to be my surname, and they’ve paired it with something equally non-sensical.

Don’t know if you’ll ever consider appearing as a celebrity of sorts on my site. Several persons of surname Phoon have written to me over the years, but none of them has been willing to appear on the site. Seriously, your appearing would elicit a “How cool is *that*!” response among fans of my website. I think I can appreciate your hesitancy in doing such–you might see it as stooping to stupidity, for example. My view is that I’ve made it a point to reject photo submissions that “aren’t good enough” in some regard, so that viewers are treated to a rich experience of locations, cleverness, striking visuals, artistic concepts, etc. Hoping I can talk you into relaxing and joining in the fun. The mere fact that it’s *you* means your photo would end up here: http://www.phoons.com/thename.html
. But, depending on your brainstorming on brilliant places to take the photo, you could end up in a number of other respectable categories. Consider it! (And maybe your blog regulars will strong-arm you into dropping into my world :) )

Best to you,
John Darrow, insane curator of Phoons.com
