Any good team names to share? Here’s a few I’ve used:
Just the Tip
Cock Blocked By Matlock
Shaquille O’Neil has a time machine and he won’t let me use it
Giggity Giggity.
I mean that’s a team name.
Norfolk and Hope (say it a few times, fast)
The Cunning Linguists
The Short Pianists
We’ve had some great topical ones.
Most recently: Betty Friedan Dies Barefoot and Pregnant
On Columbus Day: A Bunch of Italians Who Think This Is India
Million Woman March: Two Million Boobs on the Mall and One in the White House
A couple Februaries ago: Black and Tan History Month
During the Iraq war: This is Wolf Blitzer Reporting Live, Embedded with Your Mom

This past MLK Day: If You Had to Work Today, Your Company Hates Black People. When we won best team name that time, my friend Ken – who’s black and, because he’d gone to work, was wearing a suit and tie – got up to receive the prize, looking disgruntled. Biggest laugh we’ve ever received.
Some wonderful ones that other teams have come up with:
Bob Hope Finishes at Six Under
And my absolute favorite, back in spring 2003: All My Duct Tape and Plastic Sheeting is at the Bottom of the Potomac Wrapped Around My Girlfriend
That had all the elements: topicality, length, cleverness, and it was oh so wrong.
I’ll try to remember other great ones we’ve had.

The Seattle SDMB trivia team has taken to using Smurf puns: Where the Wild Things Smurf, John Cougar Mellensmurf, Horton Smurfs a Who, Smurf Blitzer, Smurf Wind and Fire, Battlefield Smurf…
Pre-SDMB trivia, my favorite team name was the East India Trading Company. Just sounded good.
:eek:
About a year ago we used “Finding Neverland Ranch,” which i thought was pretty clever, but it worked better than (the movie just out and the Jackson trial on the horizon) than it would now.
