    The Elastic Waste Band

    Your turn now.

    2008-05-14 10:06:43.0

    i've got one that i actually think is awesome. it was thought up by my 4 year old (at the time) godson. one morning at breakfast, he was deep in thought while eating his cereal, he slowly looked up at me and said," when i have my band i'm going to name it 'booger in the box'".

    2008-05-14 18:21:24.0

    hahahahahahahaha

    I heard one the other day - "That Band"

    2008-05-14 19:19:23.0

    Sorry I can only think of naming the worst rock bands and that is not what's being asked.  So I'll go away...

    2008-05-15 03:48:06.0

    I thought of this - Tone Def

    The band isn't bad but the name is awful.

    Chicks on speed - their music is as crap as their name

    Might have been fine then, but not now, with them reuniting after 15 or so years

    2008-05-16 22:45:00.0

    The thought of them uniting makes me want to have a homophobic chuck...

    2008-05-17 00:16:50.0


    @ heller -We Don't Play Guitars was their only good hit...everything else reflects why they named themselves!

    2008-05-17 01:05:26.0

    Whatever...

    I also like their 'Fashion Rules' , but must admit the talkie 'Panasonic Rip-Off' is rubbish...

    Two things wrong there ... the first is obvious. The second is ... if it were possible, it would be unique hence the use of the plural for mother is not correct.

    2008-06-03 17:35:23.0

    Because of its wrongness, it is a bad name for a rock band.....and isn't that the point?

    2008-06-03 20:57:15.0

    Yes. Remove "things wrong" and insert "clinchers" above.

    @ dekrazee1 ... Bogangar is a place just east of Cabarita Beach in far far far Northern NSW. The Dip is a concrete bath set in the ground filled with arsenic. Cattle are dipped in these devices to remove ticks. At least that was the case till the 70's when it was discovered that arsenic along with everything is carcinogenic. Eventually urban development catches up with these places and the disused dip baths and the surrounding contaminated soil needs to be carefully removed and disposed. I was involved with the removal of the Bogangar Dip as part of a previous job. If you Google map these co-ordinates exactly as they are ...

    -28.334, 153.528

    You will see the approximate location of the site formally known as Bogangar Dip.

    About Def Leppard - Putting aside '80s metal bands' fascination with animals for a minute (White Tiger, Whitesnake, Great White, Jackyl, Ratt) unless you're a Mozart-level talent, there's simply no excuse for including a word in your band's name that means you can't hear sounds. You might as well just call yourself Terrible Music and save people the energy of mocking you.

    2008-07-23 22:30:38.0

    I don't like the rich ones tbh.

    2008-07-23 22:31:13.0

    I like those with more cake than cream

    2008-07-23 22:31:42.0

    Hang on, I gots a photo

    2008-07-23 22:33:38.0

    dek.............um...........you keep photos of desserts?

    2008-07-23 22:34:09.0

    that cake looks quite good. and now im hungry again Yell

    2008-07-23 22:34:50.0

    at least you just had french fries.............i haven't eaten for hours.

    2008-07-23 22:35:22.0

    LOL! Nah, it's an image a tourist friend of mine took. I happened to have it

    2008-07-23 22:35:24.0

    it looks good...........but i don't like cheesecakey desserts or liquory desserts.

    2008-07-23 22:36:05.0

    Yeah, I hear you. I don't like em either.

    This one barely had the alcohol taste

    2008-07-23 22:36:42.0

    There's another type I like, which has a very spongy middle, and is covered with glazed nuts.

    *drool*

    2008-07-23 22:37:16.0

    This photo I took

    2008-07-23 22:38:22.0

    that looks interesting..............yummy.........

    2008-07-23 22:39:01.0

    hehehe it's the same cake from another angle

    2008-07-23 22:39:57.0

    the plate did look the same............and the top of the cake........but in this one i only see the cake on the inside, i don't see layers.

    2008-07-23 22:40:57.0

    Yeah, that's the 'back' of it

    2008-07-23 22:42:06.0

    So this is where everyone's been hiding....

    2008-07-23 22:48:21.0

    hahahahaha

    Not so much hiding as drooling

    2008-07-23 22:59:18.0

    What about the Cakeholes? (to stay on topic) Blue, the liquor in Tiramisu is subtle, you barely notice it. It is a beautiful dessert when it is done well.

    2008-07-23 23:04:22.0

    Muahahaha

    I like the Cakeholes!

    2008-07-23 23:10:01.0

    What if we said "Dek and the Cakeholes", that has a nice little ring to it? I can see them at the Basement now. Smile

    2008-07-23 23:12:32.0

    i've had tiramisu..........i worked for several years at a little pasta restaurant .......the tiramisu was supposed to be excellent..........but not for me.

    2008-07-23 23:14:45.0

    What if we said "Dek and the Cakeholes", that has a nice little ring to it? I can see them at the Basement now. Smile

    ROFL!! And we'll play on pots and pans using forks and spoons!

    2008-07-23 23:16:12.0

    lol! nice image.

    sounds like fun.Laughing

    2008-07-23 23:17:35.0

    That would be a hoot. And then feature on Good News Week. Laughing

    2008-07-23 23:20:01.0

    XP Completely my kinda band eh?

    And me thinks it'd rock even more if my bandmates were all my little buddies

    2008-07-23 23:20:05.0

    LOL!

    2008-07-23 23:20:10.0

    now i'm picturing you and gilligan jamming in the basement.Undecided

    2008-07-23 23:20:43.0

    Who is gilligan?

    2008-07-23 23:21:20.0

    gilligan's island?

    2008-07-23 23:22:08.0

    Never watched it, but I know some of the references

    2008-07-23 23:22:43.0

    No, it should be Team Tangler, that would be more fun.

    I have a photo but damn, photobucket is down for maintenance. Yell

    2008-07-23 23:26:51.0

    This is me on drums.

    2008-07-23 23:28:16.0

    EEEEEEK!!!!

    2008-07-23 23:30:20.0

    I LURRRVE IT!

    hehehehe

    2008-07-23 23:30:29.0

    Scary hey? I couldn't resist that, it is so silly.

    2008-07-23 23:31:42.0

    hehehehe

    You know what?

    I miss all those movies with animals they used to make when I was young. They don't have those now:(

    2008-07-23 23:33:27.0

    Me too, they sometimes show them on the Boomerang Channel on Cable, but you dont really see them anywhere else.

    2008-07-23 23:36:29.0

    Ahhh.... I ain't got no cable.

    Oh well

    2008-07-23 23:37:32.0

    Me too. I sometimes watch it at my sisters place. There is an awful lot of rubbish to wade through also.

    2008-07-23 23:41:51.0

    I like the hat!

    2008-07-23 23:42:40.0

    rob is that from lancelot link?

    2008-07-23 23:43:26.0

    I think it is. I couln't place the show but that sounds right. Does anyone remember the Banana Splits?

    2008-07-23 23:48:00.0

    ummm... no....

    2008-07-23 23:48:33.0

    What's that?

    2008-07-23 23:48:36.0

    yes...........it's on boomerang ..... i don't really watch t.v. anymore, but i let my daughter watch it once........once.Undecided

    2008-07-23 23:53:59.0

    2008-07-23 23:55:06.0

    :O

    I've never seen the Banana Splits one!

    2008-07-23 23:55:52.0

    heheheh It's quite funny

    2008-07-23 23:57:16.0

    You get the picture but, its very silly and they used to feature real animals. Bluegirls link works better.

    2008-07-23 23:57:38.0

    banana splits are awesome. when i was younger i would always get jealous they were at an amusement park in the intro/outro

    2008-07-24 00:01:57.0

    i loved it as a kid..........but watching it with my kid........it's justs a bunch of guys in costumes hitting each other and falling down...........i prefer her to watch something a little more educational.

    2008-07-24 00:04:37.0

    sorry the mom in me came out...............Wink

    2008-07-24 00:04:54.0

    aw c'mon. i watched johnny bravo and 2 stupid dogs when i was little and i turned out...alive.

    2008-07-24 00:10:23.0

    i lived through the seventies...................i know what kids can survive.Wink

    but this is my kid, so everything is now different.

    2008-07-24 00:13:43.0

    I'm with bluekatana. Its harmless fun. Everything doesn't have to be educational? It can be fun for its own sake.Smile

    2008-07-24 00:16:13.0

    it's not like i tie her up and make her watch pbs all day long..............she watches beatles movies for christ's sake!

    Tongue out

    people.......you all know me pretty well............think about who you are talking too.

    2008-07-24 00:20:40.0

    Yes... she should only be allowed to watch the Discovery channel. Except for Crime Night. I'll give her a few more years for that

    2008-07-24 00:33:49.0

    My kid wanted to watch Tom & Jerry.  We watched for a bit, but then I just couldn't let him anymore.  Even though they have edited out the parts where there is direct character on character violence, I couldn't do it.  Of course I watched all those comic violence cartoons as a kid...

    2008-07-24 07:53:12.0

    LOL!

    One would think we were a generation of killers thanks to those cartoons

    2008-07-24 20:44:49.0

    2008-07-24 20:46:38.0

    thank you drdec...........it's hard to explain it to someone who doesn't have kids......

    ....it's just a different world, in so many ways................believe me, my daughter will be exposed to plenty of violence in her lifetime.........no reason to rush it..........

    2008-07-24 23:39:53.0

    There have been immense amounts of research done on this. No one has managed to find a substantial link bet violence on tv and kids behaving violently.

    2008-07-24 23:42:11.0

    Children are able to differentiate between simulated violence (especially in cartoons) and real life

    2008-07-24 23:43:13.0

    (I studied this stuff extensively)

    2008-07-24 23:43:33.0

    that is true...........i don't think it will scar her...........but there are lots of things that once you start there is no going back..........so i'm holding off on lots of stuff for as long as i can............she rarely eats candy or junk food, no soda, no non-juice juices, no junky tv...............she's only 3 .....there will be plenty of time for everything...

    and she accepts this........she knows that sometimes she can have candy for special occasions.........or when we go to a movie........so it's a special treat.

    2008-07-24 23:47:05.0

    Sure. I'm not saying anything against your parenting styles. Just commenting on the one part of the issue I know something about:)

    2008-07-24 23:48:14.0

    that's cool, dek.............you would have to try very hard to offend me.Laughing

    2008-07-24 23:49:17.0

    Well in that case...

    :P

    2008-07-24 23:50:06.0

    watch it, missy.Undecided

    Tongue out

    2008-07-24 23:50:33.0

    It's one of those things that is easy to accept in the abstract but difficult to apply to a concrete example, especially one you have an emotional investment in.  In my son's case, he gets plenty of TV options from Noggin, so it's not really an issue on a daily basis.

    And to get back on topic, how about the Concrete Examples?

    2008-07-25 08:22:41.0

    Actually, I think Concrete Examples is a good one!!

    2008-07-26 20:58:38.0

    Burnt Buds?

    2008-07-26 20:58:52.0

    as a former stoner...........that one isn't bad either....Laughing

    2008-07-26 21:01:43.0

    Ok then - Burnt Ear Buds

    2008-07-26 21:03:06.0

    2008-07-28 20:45:37.0

    the master baiters

    2008-07-28 21:03:40.0

    Hey, master baiters isn't all bad!

    2008-07-29 16:46:25.0

    is that a real band? i've definitely heard the name before.........maybe from a movie...

    2008-07-29 18:33:26.0

    i dont know if its a real band. i just felt like being immature

    2008-07-29 18:37:55.0

    oh bluek.........you are to wise to ever be thought of as immautre.Tongue out

    2008-07-29 18:38:57.0

    LOL!

    Naughty blueg!

    2008-07-29 18:56:28.0

    what? i make typos and get teased too.

    2008-07-29 18:57:15.0

    How about The Uncomfortable Silences?

    2008-07-30 11:26:49.0

    heheheheeh

    Wonder what their songs would be like

    2008-07-30 19:28:31.0

    The Emphatic Denials

    2008-08-04 08:52:55.0

    lol!

    pretty bad.....

    2008-08-04 09:59:03.0

    Tangled Tentacles...

    They got their name from their former drummer - who was an octopus

    2008-08-05 19:13:12.0

    was he in a horrible tangler accident?

    2008-08-05 21:02:34.0

    Yeh.... he got tanglerized

    Awwwww.....

    2008-08-27 22:35:56.0

    (We likes Colbert!)

    2008-08-27 22:36:11.0

    Actually, on second thought, that might make a good name for a touchy-feely sort of band like Toad the Wet Sprocket (which is a terrible name)

    2008-09-04 07:42:23.0

    That is a terrible name... they sing touchy-feely songs?!

    2008-09-04 20:50:17.0

    Another bad name I keep seeing on my way to work is - The Bang Gang

    2008-09-04 20:50:34.0

    oh.

    that is really bad..

    2008-09-04 20:57:48.0

    Snuggle... Surprise!

    (The name of my band on RB2, currently. I didn't want to think of a name, pressed random generate.. and. Yay!)

    2008-10-24 14:51:18.0

    The more I think about it, the more I realize this is a bad, bad name:  The Beatles

    2008-12-04 07:18:06.0

    Really?

    • The Crabs
    • The Shakes
    • 2Guys 1Cup

    Can't beat those!!! Tongue outUndecidedSealedCool

     

    2008-12-04 14:36:38.0

    Machine Gun Fellatio

    2008-12-04 16:25:49.0

    What about the Rolling Stones?

    Sounds to me like they're a bunch of commitment phobes

    2008-12-04 18:00:16.0

    Which isn't entirely a bad thing, given that I'm one too...

    BUT - I'd think twice before joining the band:P

    2008-12-04 18:01:02.0

    I like the name Rolling Stones.  Implies you are going somewhere.  Plus it uses the rarely referenced roll part of rock-n-roll.

    What's wrong with The Shakes?  I suspect there may be some implication there I am missing.  (Perhaps a non-American meaning?)

    2008-12-04 19:05:33.0

    The Shakes? Brings two things to mind - withdrawal symptoms and milkshakes.... which might actually help with wirhdrawals..:-/

    2008-12-04 20:18:34.0

    withdrawals of milkshakes??

    2008-12-04 23:03:52.0

    the Shakes.....a collaboration between shakespeare's sister and shakin' steves?

    2008-12-05 01:49:46.0

    LQTM!

    Just thought of another, 'Pants down, Thumbs up'

    2008-12-05 10:05:28.0

    Collaboration (for) Liberation (of) Intelligent Terrestials (and) Rehabilitation Into Society

    I just love the acronym

    2009-06-14 15:46:03.0

    If we are going in that direction, how about these:

    The Vulva Boatmen

    The Labia Minor Chords

    The Fallopian Tubas

    The Ovary-atures

    You Tear Us

    2009-06-15 12:39:47.0

    On a grammatical note, should that be the Labium Minor chords, as it is a plural?

    2009-06-15 15:49:05.0

    pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis - still have to find out what it means though

    2009-06-15 17:34:13.0

    And ultra-microscopic silly volcano with pneumonia?

    Or the name for the condition of having it?

    Nope. But I did like the Screaming Trees and the Far King Kunce.
