Sunday morning, about 2:30 a.m. Light drizzle, about 37 degrees. Denny’s. Six Rolling Rocks under the belt. Nestled in between the pretentious teens and the refugees from the 1 o’clock bars, three of us are sitting at a booth, trying to think of a name for the band the other two are trying to start. Currently, Flavored Latex is the lead runner, but we’re trying to come up with something else, as the lead singer is going to be a nineteen-year-old girl. They don’t think Flavored Latex will fly with her. I thought this thread would be a good chance to get some ideas from you guys. It’s not really a contest, since there’s no monetary prize, but I’ll show them the list. If they like one of yours enough to use it, I’ll contact you and ask your permission (assuming this doesn’t violate any laws) to use it. They’re planning on playing a lot of covers, with a kind of funk sound; thus, Slurping Cadaver Brains or anything along metal/thrash/speed/death lines proabably won’t make it (not that it wouldn’t be welcome). Here’s some of what our somewhat alcohol-addled brains came up with: Stinkpalm What the Fuck’s Your Problem? No Refunds Worth the Cover Whackjob Balls Bing O. Nightly and the G-24s Moons Over My Hammy (but feared copyright infringement) Some needed an intro, generally along the lines of “We are…” Screwing Your Girlfriend Just Practicing Drunk Also, if you know any bands that already have one of these names, let me know. They’re big on not gaffling other bands’ names. Like I said, man, we were buzzed. * * * He weathered a firestorm of agony and did not break. And while Yori raged against his unbending courage, we took Kyuden Hiruma back. His loss is great, but so is the gift his suffering brought. -_Yakamo’s Funeral_ ---

I must admit, thinking up cool band names is an obsessive/compulsive disorder from which I suffer. But, sorry, can’t give up my best ones. I might get back in a band someday! And I never remember to write down those truly inspired ones, which then recede back into the ether. I’ve always thought, if you could get around the copyright issues, that ‘Ritalin’ would be a great name for a high-energy band. If you know you’ll never make it big, though, you probably don’t have to worry about using it. Also like ‘Love Tsunami’ Good luck. This thread should be fun. ---

Is this the factory where they churn out the “boy bands”. Insert 5 young male faces here, and call female attention to start the frenzy, over the talentless group. Ala NSYNC, Backstreet, Menudo, LOF, Five… et al. Sad that bad management and “illiteracy of the fine print” has made them all broke. Sad. NOT HAHHAHAHAHAHA 😛 ---

I kind of like Sunshine Puppies. But, since it is a female lead, I vote for Hermoso Castor. Most people won’t have a clue what it means, but it is Spanish for nice beaver. * * * You can feel free to call me Mr. Tied for 26th place on the favorite poster’s list. ---

## A booze band, eh? **200 Proof** is one of the best that I’ve been able to come up with. “Escote” is Spanish for “cleavage.” Just a thought… The IQ of a group is equal to the IQ of the dumbest member divided by the number of people in the group. ---
