That would be a cool band name!

August 16, 2012 9 Comments

As a family, we are always saying/hearing/reading funny combos of words and we exclaim: “That would be a cool band name!!”  It’s kind of a running joke in our family.  Some of my favorites have been: Splatter Cat (I know, ew, right?) Taco Over-Load and Mental Mohawk.

I have a new favorite:  Brass Knuckles for Christ

I hosted bunco last week, and I still have the box with all of the bunco gear (dice, pencils, etc.)  In the box, for some strange reason, is this ring.

What the what?  And why is it in the bunco box?  Handsome Hubby said it looked like brass knuckles for Christ…  We all laughed and said, Yep! That would be a cool band name!

Conner cracked us up even more: “Saint Peter tells me you haven’t been making your payments…”
Love it!

crucifix, cross, rhinestones, ring, double ring, band names

My family cracks me up!  Do you have a running joke or come up with funny band names too?  (What are your favorites?)

    Brass knuckles for Christ – that it hysterical!!

    Yeah ours is “The Bridge is Out” when someone’s being a moron. Started about fifteen years ago when my sister was camping with friends up north and there was a sign that said “Bridge out” but people would keep driving anyway and have to turn around and go back. Each time they went by my sister and her friends would yell “the bridge is out you big dork.” Sounds kind of lame now that I’ve written it out, but yeah, that’s our family LOL

    We love to discover “Unfortunate Names” My sister had a student named Amanda Fok, Poor kid. It all started with Pujole? Pujol? Poohole? How about Wendy Poohole

    Okay, that’s funny! We always say “shh, someone might use that as a kids name.” Reminds me of the court case over Talula Does the Hula- an actual child’s name.

    My mom was a beautician for all of my early years (up through college). One of her patrons used to make ceramics and she would get one for every holiday. One Christmas she received a ceramic reindeer (Rudolph) w/ a light up nose & wreath around it’s neck. It looked like a chihuahua w/ a huge head. It was so ugly. (Sorry, but it was.) We started a family tradition of passing it on as a gift for birthdays, weddings, showers, anniversaries, etc. We thought it was lost, due to my aunt’s passing, that it got thrown out when her house was cleaned out. (No one would have kept it!) But I put a help cry out to my relatives earlier this year, b/c my mom remarried in April and I wanted to give it to her for her shower. Thank the good Lord, a cousin had it in her basement. When my mom opened her present at her shower & saw that ugly reindeer, she burst in to tears….happy tears. There is so much love wrapped up in that ugly figurine. 🙂

    Your family is hilarious, and how in the heck did someone roll those dice all night with that gaudy thing on their hand? We don’t have band names, but we keep a running tally of horrible names. Mark has had some awful names of clients over the years. My father held the record though. Business associate unfortunately named “Athena Rottencrotch”. KID YOU NOT. The best part? She had changed her name from some very German sounding name to Athena because she thought it sounded more “American”. I also went to school with the mayor’s son, Mayor Gross that is.
