That’d be a great name for a band…
You know you’ve done it. Sitting around, drunk, stoned, whatever:
“We should totally start a band, dude.”
“Haha, what would we be called?”
ripping one “Thunderfart! Hardy har har!”
Rewrite the above conversation according to the maturity level of your companions/yourself.
But you know the urge is there. Make up a fake name for your band that will never take off (or maybe would, in the right musical hands). I’ve been compiling my list for a long time, and it will never be complete.
Here are some of the best ones I’ve come up with (or in some cases, stolen from Dave Eggers’ A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius*) and here is a link to a discussion on Amazon.com’s forums where the “wit” continues.
