Band Names

Professor_Zoom's picture

Snap! I found this list of some of my amazing ideas for band names that I wrote in October. I've been looking for it since forever! ...or at least since the dread "Oregon Trip". This was the product of me being bored one day.

Radiogenic Puppet (thank you, dictionary)

Nuclear Sock Monkey

Deep Ocean Trench (D.O.T.)

Piranha Plants

New Ipswich ("This is Bolton, isn't it? No, no, it's Ipswich")

AddyDacks (kind of a shortened version of "Adirondacks"

Slacker Triathlon (I really like this one. Mainly because it's all oxymoronic)

The Rock Cycle! (we were learning about geology, you see)

Grenville Orogeny (My class got a kick out of the double entendre here. It was really just something that built some mountains...or something. I don't remember things that far back too vividly. Probably cause I wasn't paying attention)

Knifeswitch (it just sounds pretty cool)

144 St. (this was on a box of chalk. It seemed cool)

Ravenous Bite (definitely some kind of Heavy Metal here)

The Lycanthropes (because werewolves are coooool)

Luminescent Pant (this came completely out of nowhere)

Well, I hope you all had as much fun reading this as much as I had writing it. If elected, I will provide...

ROCK!

..that was pointless.

Well,

"...ROCK!..."

Perhaps it was pointless, but it made me laugh anyway.

Professor_Zoom's picture

I yell it at inopportune

I yell it at inopportune times during school.
it's vastly entertaining, especially for the people actually attempting to learn.

wait...no....they hate it.

Usagi's picture

I could be

It could be vastly entertaining just for you.

Professor_Zoom's picture

yeah.

yeah.

oh, and Zak.

he joins in.

hang on...weird.
the title of your thing says "I could be"

but then you go on to say "It could be"

weird.

Usagi's picture

Huh.

Huh.

Dunno.

And now there's two of me in "Who's Online." I feel...cloned...

Professor_Zoom's picture

It's always weird when that

It's always weird when that happens. I'm never quite sure why.

Usagi's picture

Cyber-duplicates,

Cyber-duplicates, come to steal our files and brainwash us with subtle changes to website layouts.

Or I forgot to log out on Safari.

Professor_Zoom's picture

creepy. or not so creepy.

creepy.

or not so creepy.

Usagi's picture

Usagi

Usagi II has departed. I guess we'll never know.

Professor_Zoom's picture

Don't be so sure. I'm

Don't be so sure. I'm launching a full-scale investigation into this. And it's starting now.

nah.

Usagi's picture

Pretend

Pretend you will and get government funding. Then blow it on...root beer.

Professor_Zoom's picture

I actually got Sprite

I actually got Sprite today.
but
I wonder if I just did it
to convince myself
i didn't need
root beer.

re: Well

Y'know, it could go right along with the list of campaign promises that never get followed through on. Or maybe it would and you would be the most anomolous (? adjective form of anomaly) campaigner,

Professor_Zoom's picture

Funnily enough, Anomaly was

Funnily enough, Anomaly was another idea which I didn't post.
It kinda seems like it would be a good punk/post-grunge band.

Anomaly

Hmm.. I kind of see it as a rock band with all these piercings in certain places we don't mention. And lots of leather stretched WAAAAAAYYY too tight.
But if you make it, you would get to choose. I couldn't think of any good stereotypes for a punk/post-grunge band. Can you?

Professor_Zoom's picture

At least one really huge,

At least one really huge, green mohawk.

offreadin's picture

You changed your picture! I

You changed your picture! I mean, well duh... but I refreshed the page and all the pictures changed... yeah...
SInce it's your band would YOU be the one getting the mohawk, or would you force the completely nuts guitar player to get one? (HAH! I came up with a band stereotype, kind of)

Professor_Zoom's picture

hm... I might make the

hm...

I might make the drummer get it. He's a friend of mine.

offreadin's picture

If you form a band...

If you form a band with any of these names, I would TOTALLY go. Partially, just to be able to say I went to a "Slacker Triathlon" concert. Anyway, any of these bands would be amazing!!! *_*
