Does it refer to a certain pooping keychain?

Because that’s awesome.

It’s a little from Column A and a little from column B.

Yes the pooping armadillo was an inspiration, but I’ve been a huge armadillo fan since I was a kid. In a previous conversation with someone, they mentioned the whole philosophy behind monster.com. How it’s a pretty distinctive and memorable name but has nothing to do with job searches or the workforce. Anyways, when I was throwing out names to people I threw out armadillo. Most people liked the idea and since then it’s grown on me. Add the studios at the end and I’m not pigeon-holed at what I can do with the corporation. It’s not simply a design firm or a generic application company, the studios gives it flexibility, which is what I want.

Plus Armadillos live in Texas. Texas is big, mean and in general you don’t just fuck with Texas.
