Pelagic What????

Yeah, I know. It took me a while to figure out the concept. I knew you were going to wonder what the heck it means. Its sort of a nonsensical title with an actual meaning behind it. Is that even possible?

Even after deciding that we were going to start blogging, we were held up for a couple weeks debating titles, anticipating that the web address and the title of the page would be the same. Every time I threw an idea out, I was shot down and I have say I wasn't too keen on many of John's suggestions. In the end, I became impatient and made an executive decision. The web address is mine, the title is his. I would argue that my cleverly designed address requires no explanation. But the question remains... what the heck does the title mean?!!

Per Wikipedia, the end all be all destination for those seeking wisdom, pelagic is described in the following manner... Any water in the sea that is not close to the bottom is in the pelagic zone. The word pelagic comes from the Greek πέλαγος or pélagos, which means open sea.

Prawnicles is an amalgamation of the words prawn, as in big shrimpies, and chronicles, as in stories or tales (or a historical account of facts and events in chronological order according to good ol' Wikipedia).

You can take it from there. I think I'm already in trouble for revealing this much.

But don't let the title fool you (or worry you as the case may be)... not all of our tales will be set on the open sea nor will they all be about harvesting the ocean's bounty. I'm sure there will be a bit of hockey thrown in on occasion to keep things interesting - probably sooner than later.
