Name calling.

Coming up with band names for some people can be extremely difficult. It's one thing if the music is atrocious, it's another when both the music and band name are in poor taste. I could care less about the hilarious story behind how you came up with your band name.
When it's awful, it's awful regardless.
There are tons of names out there that I am surprised any band with an agent let the band proceed into famedom with their names.
Limp bizkit, Puddle of Mudd, Goo Goo Dolls, The Dandy Warhols, Staind, Chumbawumba, Hoobastank, Nickelback, Katy Perry, All-American Rejects, Pink, Matchbox 20, Buckcherry, Keith Urban, Dashboard Confessional, Bubba Sparx....we could do this for days.
I think you have to be especially careful when choosing a band name, one that is correct for the band. One that is timeless, appropriate and desirable. One day it could be what carries or drowns the group.

Disbelief.

Ha ha ha ha, someone payed money for that book.

Going to Dad's concert.

My dad is in a band called "the Beef Slough Boys", I am completely serious. He plays fiddle and some other instruments. It's folk music and they're good and I enjoy going to see them play on occasion. When people ask what you're up to for the evening and you say "going to see my dad's band play", it makes you feel kind of weird. It's different for Liv Tyler, Jakob Dylan and the Osbourne kids, everyone knows what kind of night they're in for. When I say it sometimes I get the feeling people think I'm in for a night of something more like this.

Guest Post : From Attorney Tin Tin

I used to wonder why I was always single. Now I know its because most of the people from my generation are a lot like this. The women don't care about what you have to say, they just like fancy new cameras and think to themselves "people will think I'm smart if I show up with this guy!" And as far as this dudes smarts go he's just getting into bob dylan because the whole skate fad thing is over and hocked his killer deck for that camera.... Everyone's gotta serve somebody I guess.

The I in Team.

Oh okay. Thanks for wearing your lousy jersey out. While Luke over here spent hours getting ready to come out tonight and show off his new tube dress. Then you come in stealing the show and ruining everything with your lazy jersey problem.
If you're the rural middle aged "my husband's a football fan and that makes me one too, anywhooo back to the jesus casserole" kind a gal I understand a jersey is your suppressed outlet, I'm not going to pry. When you're younger and in the city it just makes you look like a big ol'e lazy loaf.

Kid's Meal.

McDonald's has taken a big step in rebranding their company recently. The people in their advertising department know this was the way to go to really bring in a whole new demographic for a newer hipper clientele in order to stay up to date and lucrative.
The launch of the new face of McDonald's will take place soon.

He's Ron McDon.

He's bright, he's wacky, he's shown The Hamburgler how to properly apply eye liner.
He's in the "in" crowd, and he loves the ball room at all McDonald's Playland locations.
Ron McDon's favs include McSalads, strawberry shakes, and chicken nuggets.

Ron McDon says "I'm lov'in it".

Swooning and such.

I don't understand the whole Edward Cullen hype, yeah, so what I watched Twilight with a bunch of girls, it happen to be terribly comedic. We even thought the weird portrait studio, fuzz lighting was a tickle. It was also kind of unbelievable that the movie is what teenage girls are totally idolizing right now. Apparently the author of the series was trying to relay a message of abstinence, this message was so poorly fulfilled it was excruciating. Showing attractive teenagers who are almost, so close, about to do it a million times won't inform kids that it's "worth the wait". It's informing them that "when you do it, it's going to be awesome so don't worry about protection or anything else in the world."

This girl looks like she's got a phobia of vampires and
hilariously serious guys.

"Look man, we know you are super zen about everything, we get it you can fall asleep anywhere, we know, we know it's not sleep it's deep meditation. No no, we heard about your dog's chi already earlier today. Come on Matt get down from that cement pole thing we're all going to Arby's, don't you want to come and get your favorite roast beef and curly fries?"

False advertising.

Redbull commercials always show funny wiggly line cartoons in the pleasant presence of Redbull.
He's so upset that he's not a funny wiggly line cartoon. The guy that has to sit next to him for the trip must think he's in Bummertown.

Amorousness.

My god has cupid struck his arrow into my eyes? Who is that boy in the front with the red hair and face that's made for preteen television? He looks like the token nerd for
"Salute Your Shorts: the post secondary college years".
It's love, I just want to take him home and converse with him about pinhole diameters and theremins for hours and then talk him into letting me be his agent so I can make millions off of making him the next Jon Heder.

Xerox.

Friendship bracelets, locker posters, Trapper Keeper's and Caboodles. Now days I'm sure it's a different agenda but, that's what it was all about having a best friend in Jr. High. You like all the same things, you go everywhere together and it's soooooo awesome! You're always together and you dress the same and use the same slamm'in jargon. If you look enough alike It's almost like having mirror everywhere you go. Except if one of you has braces you have to factor that into the image.

Brickwall bromancing boy band time!

What's this? What is this? How did these four mystically end up against a brick wall in some sort of unrehearsed boy band pose? Each one of them looks as if they were from a completely separate boy band. The two in the middle kind of correlate on their meaningless white homeboy spoof. On the right end we've got the sort of sense of humor but creepily sensitive guy.
Then we've got Nickelodeon on the left looking like the understudy for Steve on BluesClues. What a great flock of caricatures, I would be as patient as a pea to see the VH1 behind the music on this one.

Seize!

Having a few extra inches of height can be nice if you're a
"I want to intimidate everyone" kind of guy. It's when you find yourself in the company of chandeliers that maybe you should consider utilizing your height for good. A career with the traveling medicine show would be a great way to see the countryside or
go novelty and be the super jolly guy everywhere you go, pick people up and give them airplane rides. Wear neat outfits,
shirt and pants all one color with a bow tie. Tell people the weather forecast, help cats and kites get down from trees.
Embrace the height, don't spite!

Gaudy.

Can we throw this in with the same jalopy of t-shirts made that have the tuxedo printed on them, or the hot body in bikini, the skeleton, the bulging muscles, the three cats in front and three cats asses on the back. The t-shirts that you see flocks of in rural trailer park areas. The T-shirts that match all the other crap you can buy at Spencer Gifts.
Can we just go ahead and dismiss this guys shirt in with those.
It's even got that same shitty plastic printing gloss to it that all the others do.
Unless that's a spill stain, "hey funny tie guy, you spilled on your tie you might want to take your funny tie off... oh wait".



Here is a small list of links of some of the most extreme T-shirts out there, the first two I actually had previously bookmarked, they were just begging me to shine a little light on them.

1. Cuteness

2. Mysterious

3.The t-shirts mentioned in post above

Collaborations.

When Samuel L. Jackson says "Tell that bitch to be cool" in Pulp Fiction
and Tim Roth says "Be cool honey bunny", this is what they had in mind.
Two delightful denim baskets full of neat awesomeness.
