The origin of "Bongoloid."

[adouglas]

For some reason I got to wondering where our moniker came from.

Turns out Jack coined it, way back in July 2004. Should have known.

Thing is, he was asking people NOT to call us Bongoloids...

(Sorry, Jack, but you can't keep a great idea down....)

Evolution. It just happens.

I like the fact that Jack said "just not Bongoloid" and that's the one that stuck. Even when he's suggesting what not to do, Jack is creative.

It was reverse pyschology. He secretly wanted the name Bongoloid to stick.
