I might create ActiveDrain - It could be a site where plumbers go to talk about leaky pipes and clogged stuff. The weekly review would be composed of the best pictures of plumber's crack.
I might create ActiveTrain - It could be a site where conductors get together and talk about Air Monkeys, Bell ringers and Beehives (look it up civilian.......actually, what does a conductor call someone that's not a conductor? I don't know......)
I might create ActiveTrain(er) - It could be a site where athletic trainers get together and talk about dumbbells, medicine balls and funny smelling locker rooms. They could also ridicule the guy that can't bench 300 pounds and doesn't drink grass shakes for lunch.
I might create ActiveStain - It could be a site where Dry Cleaners (do they have an official title?) get together and talk about automated clothing racks, dry cleaning solution and pressing machines. They could also laugh at all the rest of us that are willing to pay tons of money to have our clothes cleaned without water or soap.
I might create ActiveSpain - It could be a site that tourists get together and talk about attending the..............there must be something.........shoot, I'm drawing a blank. I have no idea what people visit when they go to Spain. I need to get out more.
I might create ActiveChain - It could be a site where parents go to post pictures of those crafty little chains that kids bring home in kindergarten around christmas time to hang on the tree. (Do they still make those things? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about? Did I just have a really weird kindergarten teacher?)
I might create ActiveFeign - It could be a site where people pretend to be someone they are not and everyone uploads audio files that don't really sound like them talking.
I might create ActiveGain - It could be a site for college freshman to join after gaining the dreaded 'Freshman 15'. They could all console each other and pledge to "totally hate that skinny @#$@#"
I might create ActiveGrain - It could be a site where people go once they get off that cultish Atkins diet to figure out how their body can accept carbs again.
I might create ActiveSprain - It could be a site where people can go to upload a picture of their sprained ankle and an audio track of the sound(these would have to reproduced by mouth) it made when the incident occurred. Other members could then tell you it's just a sprain, you need ice, compression and elevation instead of going to the hospital and wasting your $50 on the co/pay. You could then use that $50 to go get some crutches you will use for 3 days. (you can probably get the crutches for $20 on craigslist and actually come out $30 ahead). Of course, the member who uploaded the audio and the photo would have their wife sitting at the computer with them telling them they had better get their but to the emergency room, so the interface should be quick..........I've almost got the business plan done for this one (we would also get the site ActiveStrain)........I just can't figure out how to get rid of the sensible wife component...........hmmmm........
I might create ActiveVain - It could be a site similar to HotOrNot.com except that people would only be allowed to rate themselves. Every profile could have the song "I'm too Sexy" playing. In fact, every page on the site would have that song.
and my personal favorite..........
I am going to create ActivePain - It is going to be a site where wrestling fans get online and challenge each other to back yard wrestling matches dressed as their favorite WWE characters. Participants will use moves like "The Whooping Crane", "The Ball and Chain" and "The Sewer Main" (do not try these moves at home) The winner of the match will be allowed to join ActiveReign and the losers will have to join ActiveShame!
Friends, followers, and connections are the way of the future.
Make sure you check out some of our Facebook Fan Pages Too!
Bob, you made me laugh this morning. I guess I'd love to create ActiveDAME
"Active Brain...a half hour reality show where scientists probe the brain of an average, typical real estate broker to discover how it is different than your other run of the mill brain...we'll be back after this message.." Good post. Did a blog on the brain part..not sure how many plumbers would want to hang around the monitor and if the public could view, would not need the plumber in the how to part of the DYI!
The possibilities are endless...
ActiveSpain could work... a few weeks in Palma wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit.
Looks to me like Bob got on a roll.
LOL
Hey:
How about ActiveQuatrain for those who are well-versed, or less well-versed, in poetry... "I can't believe that Bubba is spamming me in iambic pentameter..."
Or, ActiveComplain where people can gather to whine about other agents, the real estate market in general, or even cold coffee?
Bob, hilarious! Some of those could possibly be viable sites. Though I think that if most people with regular 9-5 type jobs were to spend as much time on the site as those in the real estate profession spend on ActiveRain, they'd likely be fired.
Here's a few more ideas:
ActiveBoatswain
ActiveBirdbrain
ActiveCocaine -- great place for recovering drug addicts
ActiveFloodplain
ActiveOrdain
ActivePlantain
ActiveTerrain
You evidently have too much time on your hands or your brain is in overdrive. :0)
Bob, I think we did have ActiveVain not to long ago. Some members thought that the "Rating System" was something for them to find creative ways to rate themselves. And we must already have ActiveTrain(er), because I run into Dumbbells every once in a while :) :)
Very creative blog Bob, we need to learn to lighten up and just have a little fun sometimes.
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the morning laugh!!! :)
I love a good chuckle before going into a meeting--thanks Bob!
How about "ActivePlain" for those who aren't members of "ActiveVain"?
Bob, did this just roll out of that ActiveBrain of yours? Very creative!
Have a Fabulous Real Estate Day!
Anona
Bob - You forgot:
Thanks for commenting everyone.
Yes, I have a tough time sleeping these days. Combine the fact that ActiveRain has an awesome opportunity to make a difference in the real estate industry with the fact I have a little boy who has no shortage of energy and it often has me up really late.
George had me almost spitting my morning coffee on my keyboard. Haha. I think you are correct George, the rating system did have us with our own little ActiveVain every now and then. In fact, I think that may be the new name for the flagging console since there are a few people that love to flag their own stuff :-)
Sardi,
I think you planted the seed for this post in my head months ago when you let me know Rick Steiner was on the network. I'm getting my ActivePain business plan together to see if he will be my co-founder! haha
Bob-
"The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" (My Fair Lady)
or
"The lame on Active Rain go mainly down the drain.".
Cheers!
Live good. Be happy.

Oh boy!:)
How about:
Bob, you are quite daffy.
Bob - Bring on the ActivePain.
BTW: Since when did you title your blog "Get Wet"? I just caught that and I am still LMAO...
Bob,
Why are you wasting your time writing this Active Trash when you could be out featuring my posts!!! :^)
How about 'Active Remains' where people can discuss fertilizers, manures, and other bull by products!!! LOL, Thanks, Fran
Mr Bob Stewart...
Okay. It looks to me like you've had a bit too much Red Bull and what ever you Guys are mixing that with nowadays :)
As much as I would like to address the whole 'get wet' thing as well as being off your rocker...
I had better not. I could get carried away with all of that :)
TLW...ROAR!
Oh...
I forgot to add...
Active Ick :)
Shame on me for assuming folks get it :)
TLW...ROAR!
We already have ActiveReign... and that title keeps shifting as the drama continues to unfold here. This is hilarious and I don't even want to put in print the other names we have for this wonderful place ;-)
I'm laughing at your new title! Turn off the late night porn Bob before you step over the line....
Bob, thanks for the funny stuff. It's a GREAT day for it.
Please get some sleep tonight. You are clearly impaired.
Bob,
This was a truly creative post!! Very funny. I certainly know a few Activepains and I've heard stories about Activevainers. Cheers.
Bob,
I can see the Active Pain with the AR lawsuit. Maybe Active Laugh should added. AJ
I am so very very glad ActiveVain is no longer in existance...
except in some members minds, that is... those types will
NEVER get over how so very, very special THEY are....
Even if no-one around them agrees with them. ;-)
Some us KNOW we are special and we try to help others
see they are special too..... there is a difference in the way
life is lived by MY type of person (a person who is like me).
Living the Golden Rule is where its at: Do unto others
what you would want done to you...
=-)
That was cute....and George is a cracker as always!
I know we all think we're perfect but I see all of that here anyway. It's the same as being in the real world... why don't we just keep on doing what we're doing...I kind of like it that way.
It'd be one perfect world to have things like burger king :)
Yes, I think you might have been up a little late on that one. But it did bring humor into my day for a moment. :)
Bob...Spain. Let's see. What about:
My choice is #1 (briefly) and than #3 for an extended period of time.
I'm thinking you have lots of time on your hands (drain, pain, gain, etc.) why aren't you spending it in Spain?
Cheers,
Kathleen
don't forget .....ACTIVEGAIN, for those who didn't make it in Weight Watchers.
Thanks Bob, you crack me up.
Activeshame would never work! You would have to care what others think of you for that to work. Now, Activespain? I like the idea...Trade in points for a trip to Spain for me any my wife? You offer to babysit?
Just a thought,
Bob, there's only one site for you my friend, and that's Active Brain. You have a brain that ie: will not shut down, will not still, will not stop, will not hush, will not quiet, will not calm and will not get out of town or shut up!
Your Active Brain is what keeps us all going...
Later in the brain, no-
Later in the rain~Deb
ActiveCane for Seniors that like to get around...
ActiveBlame for short sighted politicians...
ActiveFlame for angry people to argue with each other...
Bob, I was going activeinsane but Karen beat me to it!
Ginger
Bob,
I don't know how I missed this either, but I'm LMAOROF...when Kelan cannot sleep...you administer benadryl or put him on the computer...no chocolate, caffeine, no soda, no SUGAR for him! Give him a kiss for me...where are the new pics...it's been awhile???
How about the ActiveDrain? for well you know, the kaka (a/k/a crap as you call it). LOL
On a more positive note...How about "I closed an AR deal?" a/k/a ..."ACTIVEDEAL!" in a good light - you are doing a fabulous job! Get some sleep though!
You're mind is on over load...perhap's you can take a day off and take some pic's of that adorable son of your's. Then again, I have another, "ActiveAttitudes", now that would include 95% or not?
Loved the post! Made my night! Thank you! Until I had to type "grumixameira"...what is that?
Bob: How about Active Vein for all the phlebotomists in the group. Maybe even Active Prayin' for the spiritual folk ?
