Just use
.net
or so. Or make it dependent on where you host, so.fi
or.de
or.us
or whatever. TLDs aren't just for lulz, and getting specific country ones just for "funny" combinations just leads to stuff like this happening.No need to limit yourself to US tld's, country ones for funny domains can be stable as well. My domain koffie.nu (coffee.now in Dutch), registered in '98, is still going strong. I just hope the rising sealevel won't wipe away the country any time soon.

Yep, never came to updating the site, it's my email/network domain. Maybe Imshould change the 1 into a 2 ;)
There are so many industry-specific tlds now that I literally lost count of how many different ones I've used and purchased. When I am looking for domains for topic-specific instances, I had about 30 different tlds selected for namecheap's"beast mode".
