> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by fallom \* > \*\*Would you call saying “THAT’S THE TICKET!” every 10 seconds a tradition? \*\* No, I would call it a potential Monty Python skit. Newsanchor: In other news, the THAT’S THE TICKET! of Albania has just had surgery for his colorectal cancer. THAT’S THE TICKET! refused anasthesia, preferring instead to read pornographic THAT’S THE TICKET! while the procedure was performed. THAT’S THE TICKET reported no pain, but said that the female lead should have taken THAT’S THE TICKET! instead of just being so passive. Now, here’s Nigel with sport. Nigel: Thank you, FLAMING PILE OF CARP! In the world of cricket, New Zealand bested South Africa by one FLAMING PILE OF CARP! In football, Manchester United took the game by storm by bringing a FLAMING PILE OF CARP! onto the field at the half, a move that inspired the Prime Minister to say “Never in my VOTE TORY have I ever seen a more VOTE TORY of English sportsmanship,” even though he is, in fact, a Labour PM. Back to you, FLAMING PILE OF CARP! Newsanchor: THAT’S THE TICKET! has exploded on A12. No casualties have been reported at this time, but thousands of people have become convinced that this skit is completely worthless. Now for something completely different. ---

Heh, this rant has spun out of control- as usual. 😃 Much like my minor rants against people referring to themselves in the third person. Well might as well combine them: **elf6c** does not like _Band Name_ posts. I wonder how many _that’s a great band name_ posts will follow this post. . . . ---

I’m shocked at you people. If Dave Barry was alive, he’d be rolling in his grave. ---

If only Dave Barry were rolling in his grave, live or dead. Either way we’d be done with him. Dave Barry’s Grave…hmmm…nah, too easy. ---

So I hit a large pothole as I was driving today and I said, “Wow, that’s a big ass hole!” Big Ass Hole. Now _that’s_ a band name. ---

Here is a solution: Instead of posting them in the thread and annoying everyone, post them on the [Teeming Millions Band Name! Page](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/bandnames.adp) ---

Why not sneak into the Princess Anankha’s tomb and make off with the casket of sacred tanna leaves? ---
