I rarely disagree with Unc—especially not in a Pit thread!—but for me, “that would make a great band name” never gets old, as the punchline (or, really, leadup) is different every time. As you can tell by my fondness for breaking into thread with it . . .

And by the way, I have at least been THINKING “that would make a great band name” before Dave Barry was ever published . . .

P.S. “DIE, ITALICS, DIE!!!” would make a GREAT band name . . .

As would “The Incontinence.”

Kinda goes with that whole Prehensile Rectum motif.
