My wife, friends,and I will be starting our third league season next week, and we’d like to pick a new team name, as is our wont.
In our first league, we wound up second, playing as"Bite My Shiny Metal Ass". We just finished 7th playing as “Rodents Of Unusual Size”.
For this upcoming league, we’d ideally like a name that has a call and response. Another team is “The Revenge Society” and when the host says their name, they reply “Revenge!” We’d like something along those lines, if possible, unless a regular name blows us away. Good pop culture references are a plus, too.
Any suggestions? Anyone who names our team can have one of the T-shirts that I will make for the finals in August.

I think you’ve already answered your own question. Bill yourselves as “Call” and every time they say your name, holler back “Response!”
Alternately, I suggest almost any two-line combination from [this short play](http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/myl/llog/RSPlay1.html), which I first encountered on _This American Life_.
