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_ Capitalizing on natural disasters is fun: _Mi nami es tsunami_. Though it woulda been better if the quizmistress hadn’t mispronounced it. 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. ---

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. –Cliffy ---
