surely you cant be put off by the mental image of a small dollop of man fat? (or as they say in Newcastle - "bairn brine") [url]http://www.answers.com/topic/bairn[/url]

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-07-19 14:39:43 +0000

Another thing stolen from the Scots! (the word bairn, not bairn-brine) (and technically, it's man-protein, not man-fat)

I was in a band once called "baby gravy and the salty salutes" (note the GBV reference) Unfortunately we never got beyond deciding on the name and the first album artwork – didn’t get around to learning to play any instruments or writing any songs… Too busy giggling i guess

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-19 14:45:28 +0000

A common flaw.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-07-19 14:54:09 +0000

Absolutely. Ed(ward) was bassist in the similarly-fated "Tommy Squeaker, featuring Egg" (almost a real band because their lead singer - Egg - threw a strop and quit). Ed(ward) was not Egg. Amy & I comprised the short-lived "ha ha snowsuit", whose main influences were Liz Phair, Huggy Bear, and Dr. Demento. And then there was the embryonic band Becky & I made up in high school, "Rhödödëndrön", a gardening-themed speed metal band. Hey, and wasn't Ed(mund) in some band called "Goat Baby"? Or "Goat Children"? Or just "Goat"? I heard a rumor that someone has a demo... tgl, what were your bands' names? You'd have to have had some good ones.

If we are being technical I don’t think its “man protein” either [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semen[/url] Anyway, man fat just rolls (or dribbles) off the tongue much better This thread is settling nicely at just my level of intelligent discourse

Posted by tendiamonds on 2005-07-19 15:08:48 +0000

I think tgl made me listen to Goat when we were in college. Dawn and I were "Faggy Ned and the Homophones" and we even had a song... not even a bad one, I hear we have a reunion tour coming up, but we'll be billed as "Ned and the Phones" Actually, go back farther to the first non-band Dawn and I were in... fifth grade: Kids Unemployed. Awesome. We were supposed to be the answer to Men At Work. Note: Kids Incorporated ripped us off.

You've got to get your marketing straight. Think Atkins Diet. "Man Protein - a healthy treat for all!"

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-07-19 15:21:55 +0000

Kids Unemployed is brilliant. If I were you, I'd sue.

Posted by Travis on 2005-07-19 15:42:35 +0000

I would never "market" to a girl on the Atkins diet - a) her breath would stink of rotting meat and im a sensitive vegetarian b) I need some motion in my ocean

Posted by Travis on 2005-07-19 15:49:12 +0000

Although if I was more cunning than a weasel cheating at backgammon I could perhaps suggest it as a viable alternative to the Atkins diet “eat whatever you want, and me, and watch the pounds fall off…"

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-19 15:55:53 +0000

Damn weasel is always getting my Goat at backgammon.

Posted by Travis on 2005-07-19 16:03:23 +0000

does loosing your goat to a weasel in a game of backgammon constitute animal cruelty?

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-19 16:06:59 +0000

Rolling Thunder doesn't get mentioned because they were an actual band? 10D, you are selling yourself short! Travelling 700 miles, by bus, to perform Big Black covers in front of tie-dye bedecked and white hatted kids (I wasn't there... they might have looked different, it's how I picture the crowd) in Burlington VT definitely counts for something in my book.

How about the following for a band name? Yucky Euphemisms for Semen _______________________________

Posted by G lib on 2005-07-19 16:09:41 +0000

I was the lead singer of "Bill and Steve's Excellent Adventure." We did a cover of Alannah Miles' "Black Velevet" for the high school talent show. I wore a green velvet stretchy top, which I thought was really HOT. . Pam, I remembering you wanting to start a band called 'tits,' so you could get up on stage and say "Hi, we're tits, and you just paid five bucks to see us. Ha ha! ONE TWO THREE FOUR!" I thought that was brilliant. . P Chippy has a big band that he wants to start that plays all schmaltz-core, called "The Velvet Smog." I'm so into that idea. ________________ --Feminazi

Posted by G lib on 2005-07-19 16:12:44 +0000

OH OH! I almost forgot! . And at Malbert, Beckybunny and I started a Shags cover band with Dinabean. I don't remember what our name was, (maybe 'the slags'?) but I got as far as learning half of "My Pal's Name is Foot Foot" picked out on the gee-tar. ________________ --Feminazi

Posted by G lib on 2005-07-19 16:13:19 +0000

Pam, were you in our Shags cover band? I've forgotten. ________________ --Feminazi

Yes

Posted by tgl on 2005-07-19 16:15:57 +0000

Only if the goat gets beaten.

Posted by rladew on 2005-07-19 16:16:20 +0000

how many ________ for ________ band names are there? I could only think of my new creation and 'Stricken For Catherine" and "gay For Johnny Depp".... _______________________________

Best night of my life. It looked a lot like what you picture, but add that it was an 18+ _substance_free_, _no_covers_ club and we did not less than 10 tunes that were originally by Albini, Gang Green or The Descendents... Our modus operandus was to be shitfaced, so we had to keep sneaking out to the back alley to drink beers. I don't remember the bus ride back, but on the ride out, the bus driver actually pulled over on the highway and made Naldo and I get off the bus and threatened to leave us there if we did not put all of our alcohol in the luggage storage. Dawn was there, he will attest. And yes, Rolling Thunder was real enough to not mention on the aforementioned list, even though we weren't that real.

Semen's calories is mostly the fructose (thanks Travis and Wiki). Now granted, it is not refined sugar, so it would be fine for the South Beach Diet, but I'm hestitant to call it Atkins friendly.

Posted by Travis on 2005-07-19 17:03:58 +0000

hey G - does that mean its suitable for diabetics?? and on that note im off home - later different time zone people, now you can talk politics and baseball instead of bodily fluids

Feed The Cat Spam: Me, Sarah Meadows and my first high school girlfriend Jen doing three originals and a bunch of like Ramones covers. Cheese Graters: Me and John LeBlanc doing our three originals and a bunch of like Dead Milkmen covers.

I had forgotten about being in Tits! And the concert flyers: TONIGHT at the Middle East Upstairs - See TITS for only $5!!! TITS live and on stage! Heh heh heh. I am a 14-year-old boy. With braces. Who practices kissing on my Supergirl pillow. For real.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-07-19 21:42:23 +0000

No... that was possibly after I sold Dina my bass? The black-bodied one with the slender pale wood neck and the silver kitty-cat sticker? I wonder if she still has it. I hope it's lived to see some live grrrl rockin'.

I heart that movie. It was my inspiration for getting the mail and taking lunch orders for all the other businesses in my mom's shopping center. I kept hoping they'd tip me. Unfortunately, they told me to stop harrassing them.

Posted by Miriam on 2005-07-20 02:38:21 +0000

You called yourselves The Rags. I remember, 'cause I was sober.

I dropped a Dead Milkmen fagan tonight in my job interview...and they hired me anyway!

Woo-hoo! Congrats, hottie! Oops, I mean "Hot Shot".
