**eunioa** \*Appalling Isthmuses (Frugging beside the cement pond?) \* **Dire Straits (Twistin’ By the Pool…)** ## Although an isthmus is really not the same as a strait! (Isthmus = narrow strip of land. Strait = narrow channel of water). ## For **Very Wide** , there are some very obscure bands that would fit – _Too Phat_, or _Big Fat Huge_ – so to the original poster of that one, were you going for that level of obscurity? 🙂 Since it’s a new page, here’s the list of the unanswered: River Bed In Egypt ? Very Wide Forefront Cafeteria Highfalutin Herb Big Score Pleasantry Strainer Energy Conduit Proper You and I Stead papyrus Daybreak Streetwalker Sweet bean of the arctic The enticements [name] and the Item offered for sale to those who’ll believe anything Sleeping Thought Stage – (not REM) ---

[see “isthmus”](http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?isthmus) (definition 2 explains, my Roget’s thesaurus gives it as a synonym) Also: Jane’s Defence Weekly is the defense publication of record, the flight sims are (though tough as hell) not part of the company.

\*Daybreak Streetwalker=Don Ho! \* That is too funny!! 🙂 \*Stead papyrus=Switch Blade? I should have said…instead of, papyrus \* **Lou Reed**?? \*Proper You and I=Au Pairs? This is a one word band name \* ## Is there a band called **We**? (just checking…) **eunioa** : \*Energy Conduit=Wire? \* Nope. A hint – Two separate words. A relatively recent band (90’s, I think). Not an obscure one. You could hear them on the radio.
