**Butthole Surfers** - after the initial ‘huh huh huh’ from semi-retarded teenage boys the rest of the world is left just asking why they couldn’t have picked anything else.

How about:

_Rod Torfulson’s Armada featuring Herman Menderchuck_

Ok, the second one is fictional.

You mean like **Squad Brutus and the Support Weapons**?

[QUOTE=Jackmannii]  
There is a local band called [Phil Dirt & the Dozers](http://www.phildirt.com/About-Us.html), billing itself as “the nation’s #1 requested vintage rock n’ roll show”. Somehow I doubt this.

You can go on a cruise with them. :eek:  
[/QUOTE]  
I can’t tell you how disturbed I was to find out that by “cruise” you meant an actual cruise ship in the ocean and not, like, a pontoon boat on a man-made lake. They’re going on the same cruise I’m taking, though thankfully, they’re going a month later. I wonder what horrid cover band I’ll have to suffer through instead.
