6 12-packs and an onion. A couple of friends and I once made a grocery run, and that what we walked out with. We have been looking for somewhere to use that ever since. It means absolutely nothing, but it would probably get people to take a second look ---

Just to modify that last one a bit more, **Deathray Style** has a certain ring to it. Also inspired by this list: \*\*Cockpunch The Oglodites The Banned (Get it?) Cecil and Desist Badger Badger \*\* ---

I was in a band in High School called **The Four Skins** Feel free to use it and never get a gig again. ---

I always liked **Five Carbon Sugar**. Cause, you know, organic matter is awesome. Other faves; **SloBoy** **Ornamental Intellectuals** **Mother’s Ruin** And a few Madonna in-jokes for pop-culture fun; **Mother Of Mirrors** **Judi f\*cking Densch** **Shabooba** **Upside-Down G** **Professional Hooker** ---

I just read “Pyramid Scheme” by Eric Flint and David Freer. At one point, the characters are trying to come up with a band name, and I really liked one of theirs: _ **The Gathering Moss** _ Maybe that should be a cover band, though. ---

Actually, I think **Satisfying Andy Licious** would be an excellent choice. Maybe you should ask. ---

I want to be in a band again! I’m mid-life crisis material! I could do it! Then I could be the **Mid-Life Crisis Material Girl** Sorry, that was bad. But actually I like Mid-Life Crisis for the name. They won’t let me play either now, will they? ---

Ever since I first read [Satchel Paige’s Rules for Living](http://www.wholisticresearch.com/info/artshow.php3?artid=140), I’ve thought **Social Ramble** (see #4) would be a great name for a band. ---
