2 guys (one of them being me) and 1 woman are starting a summer bowling league next Wednesday. The league will be played under black light, Cosmic© Bowling conditions with the music turned full blast. We are one of six teams signed up for the league so far. With all suggestions welcome…Name our team! ---

“We have big balls! (Even her!)” Long, but truthful. Most likely to much punctuation. Or you could use my team name that I used last year: “Swirrrrrrlllllyyyys. Wooooooo!” Oh, yes, I am weird. Thanks for asking. ---

Follow-up: I decided on “Illuminati”, and did dress in very light colored clothing. My teammates looked at the name and said “What the hell does that mean?” :rolleyes: ---
