I’m staring in a league tonight, and we’ll have to have a name for our little 3 person team. Every year we try to come up with something good, but this year I figured I’d ask here and see what comes up. Any suggestion is fine, this isn’t a serious league full of pollyanna’s so bring em on. ---

[QUOTE=feppytweed] I always liked Off A Goat. That way, when you lose, the other team will say they beat off a goat. [/QUOTE] A name that’s only funny when you lose? That’s puffin talk! Imagine the other team’s embarassment when they have to admit they lost to testicles. ---
