blind-fitter Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 You're thicker than you look, aren't you? If, indeed, the sentence is to be interpreted as an exhortation to those females here present to direct their occular equipment elsewhere, then a comma between the words "Ladies" and "avert" is more than preferable, it is essential. Privately, I owe Diggs much gratitude for highlighting this discrepancy. The omission of the comma renders the distressingly ambiguous phrase, "ladies avert your eyes". In making "ladies" the subject of the sentence, "avert" is, by implication, the active verb, (rather than the intended imperitive tense), with "your eyes" the object. This unholy construction renders a wholly unintended meaning, namely, something along these lines: Ladies are actively responsible (for unspecified reason) for your gaze being re-directed elsewhere.

daslied Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 "The (insert name here) Experience" is an exhausted concept, regrettably. Agreed, but it kind of fits. How about "The PaulEdwardWagemann Folk Unit", or "The Pew F.U."? "The PaulEdwardWagemann Blog System", or "The Pewbs"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Nice suggestions, das. However, much as I admire Paul's journals, I don't particularly want him infiltrating my band-name, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Pices Carnivore--I thought of this from the scene in Legally Blonde when Elle Woods introduces herself and her dog as "gemini vegitarians." I was born in March and I eat meat, so I would be a pices carnivore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 " The Cusp Of Mars " : Few really know exactly ( but will likely have a sense of 'the cusp ' ) what this means -but will think they do ...

blind-fitter Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 "Testicle Stretch" is part of the title of a piece of art by Joel-Peter Witkin ("Testicle Stretch And The Possibility Of A Crushed Face") and the title of a track by obscure 80s avant-garde vinyl-manglers Gum. Testicle Stretch would be such a cool name for a band, but I'm concerned that it's been used twice before, albeit in different contexts. S2V: I quite like the sound of Zendive. What's it mean? Also, Kevin: "The Cusp of Mars" Does this have an interesting hidden meaning? I'm intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 S2V: I quite like the sound of Zendive. What's it mean? Maybe I'm just being thick. Is it "a swift descent into Zen" combined with a vague pun on the name of a green vegetable? In that case, I'm warming to it....

blind-fitter Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 'The Fringe of Mo Mowlam' I somehow missed this one the other night: undoubtedly distracted by the "explaining-grammar-to-mr.guitar" frenzy.

Kevin Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 from Wikipedia : The Fringe of Mo Mowlam talked a good game game , but were dead in their tracks before the band even started . Accordonist Blind-Fitter stated ' We was serious , ya know ... musicians and all that ' before he fell backwards banging off the next tables rounds off drinks . Words were exchanged and the band died an early death . They almost wrote the hit song ' JohnnyGuitar ,Yeah , he'll go far ' but the barman wanted to be paid and being short of funds , the band dispersed .

Too Many Grandmas is a good name for the right band; a comedy band*, maybe. Also, I couldn't really go with it for personal reasons. *My band will be deadly serious.
