If this is "The Horse's Mouth", then should my partner be writing a companion blog called "the hind legs of the donkey"?

A google search reveals "talking the hind legs off a donkey" in use by telephone companies selling their services to compulsive talkers, a number of blogs by predominantly female writers who are coming out and admitting verbosity, and the inevitable phrase sites. As Lisa talked on one particular tiny subject all the way from home to Chippenham yesterday, it might be more appropriate than she admits ...
