So, why are we called
The Daily Yeep?
When we started out, it was important to us that we had a name and presence that spoke to the spirit and proud heritage of the people of Connecticut. We wanted something that truly symbolized the state.
Everything within reason that involved “nutmeg” was already taken. And you know what’s crazy about that? Nutmeg isn’t even native to the state. It was an import. The entire Nutmeg State thing is a web of lies.
But do you know what is native to Connecticut? That’s right, the majestic and wordly American robin, which conveniently is also the state bird.
We wanted to honor the robin as a watchdog, sitting on our fences and alerting us with it’s many varied sounds to what is going on all around us.
And the American robin indeed does make, many, sounds whith many intersting and unique descriptions. We were instantly torn between two of these sounds: the sharp and alarming ‘yeep’ and the softer, gentler and almost passively calming little ‘cuck.’
And thus was born:
It was a bold and wonderful foray into quality journalism. Our unique visitor numbers exploded over night.
It turns out it was also really, really, confusing for certain… enthusiasts.
We would like to thank those initial readers for, despite the miscommunication, quietly sitting in their chairs and reading every single story, just as they were told to.
So yeah, we went ahead and changed that pretty quickly to our second choice.
And now here we are, still providing the news you deserve. And of course we refer to ourselves and our readers now as ‘Yeepers’ instead of… well, you know.
Keep Yeepin’!

Technical and Possibly Legal Note:
The Daily Yeep and any sites or other publications associated with it are, by definition, satire. You aren’t supposed to take any of this seriously. If a real name is mentioned, it is because as a public figure they are indeed open to satirization as a protected freedom of expression under the First Amendment. You know, that one above the one about the guns. Everyone focuses on the guns but like, dude, it’s right there! So sit back, enjoy, and when that one uncle who starts going off at Thanksgiving about something published here, just smirk and show them this block of text. Also, all original content published on TheDailyYeep.com is the copyright and intellectual property of Joseph Cole. We don’t know that guy but apparently he owns us.
