My Email Address Sucks!

As much as I love the concept and textual aesthetics of TaoOfDan.com, Dan@TaoOfDan.com does not translate easily to the ear.
Here’s why:

ANYONE
What’s your email address?

ME
Dan [at] Tao Of Dan [dot] [com]

ANYONE
What? T-O-W?

ME
No. Tao like in Taoism the philosophy or some people pronounce it Dao.

ANYONE
Oh D-O-W?

ME
(Sigh) No. You know like the books Tao Of Pooh or Tao Of Steve?

ANYONE
I’ve never heard them. What is it again?

ME
Dan [AT] T as in Tom, A as in apple, O as in Oscar, O as in Oscar, F as in Frank, D as in…umm…Dan, A as in apple, N as in Nancy [DOT] [COM].

ANYONE
Got it. Dan [AT] T as in Tom, A as in Alpha, O as in Oscar, O as in Oscar, F as in Frank, D as in Delta, A as in Alpha, N as in Nancy [DOT] [COM].

ME
Exactly!!

ANYONE
What does that spell? Touooof Dan?

ME
Fuck me.

ANYONE
Give it to me again.

ME
It’s cool. Just mail it to me. It will be faster than this.
