Hey **torie** , it’s all yours. I tried to convince by boyfriend’s brother to use it for his band, but they decided against it. I was really tired when I was watching this riciculous cartoon called **Aqua Teen Hunger Force**. At some point, Abraham Lincoln appeared holding a samurai sword. One of the characters (meatwad, I believe) said something like, “Hi there samurai Lincoln!” My first thought was “band name!” ---

I always favored “Rooftapping” as the name for the band that I’ll never start, simply because that’s what good, Baby Bear’s Chair (you know, not too hard, not too soft - hey wait!), windows rolled down, road tripping music always inspires me to do - tap the beat on the roof of my car. So my suggestions are **Rooftapping** or (less seriously) **Baby Bear’s Chair** 😉 ---

I was gonna suggest: **Pork Loin and the Meatcase** but seeing how whereas there’s a Rule # 3, I’ll change that to: **Pork Loin _IN_ the Meatcase** or just **Pork Loin** or **Meatcase** **Dusty Brown Avacado** **Posthaste** **Kosher Bacon** ---
