I was just looking when the last episode of the current "Dexter" season will air, and I simply entered "dexter" in Google, anticipating that the tv.vom episode guide will be on the first page. It is, as well as

www.dextershoe.com

Okay, I'm not seeing it. Apart from the fact that “dextershoe” can be (although it's not very likely to be) misread as “Dexter's hoe”, rather than “Dexter Shoe”, what's so bad about that URL?

When I lived in DC I had a couple friends who were former lawyers at Morrison and Foerster. They had the best swag as it was high-quality stuff (t-shirts and hats mostly) emblazoned with just the words mofo or mofo.com. No matter how often I asked, I never did get them to get me anything.

Molestationnursery.com moved to molerivernursery.com. For some reason.

OK. I know that analrapist is not a category of medicine but what was it supposed to say. I can't think of any medical discipline where a typo, or even two typos, could produce that kind of description.

It's from Arrested Development. It's a combination of "analyst" and "therapist," and supposed to be pronounced as in those two words rather than what it looks like.
