When I lived in Houston, I always felt that one of the streets there would make a good band name. So, feel free to use this and no need to thank me: **Kirby Drive** ---

Most of these are inspired by things I can see from here: The Viscounts. bluescreen. Time Out for Boxing. The Low Marvins. \<— Similar to Max Power, I got that from a fan! Flightsafety. The Purple Reviews. The Red Staplers. AAA and the Asthmatics (Okay, that one’s a joke.) Macroriders. ---

Let’s see… There’s the classic **Free Beer** **Stump Shaker** **Chicken Coop Hot House** **Bailing Wire** **The Bottles** **Shrinktones** **The Blue Belts** **Happy Orthodox Jewish Man** (or men) I’m sure I’ll come back with more. I always have ideas for band names, but my bandmates never use one of mine. I wonder why… ---

I was half asleep doing homework and just checking out random websites and I saw two words within several seconds that stuck with me as being a good band or song name: dyslexic lulaby I don’t know why. ---

The Frotteurists Moral Hazard (this is a term used in econ, sociology, the insurance industry, etc.; it is the human behavioral tendency to maintain a customary equilibrium or standard, even in the face of tech advances and the like that could otherwise result in a net benefit or sea change. Ex: you get a car with ABS brakes and airbags, so… you drive faster when roads and tailgate more closely when it’s raining, thus offsetting the gains in safety.)
