Question: Insert Clever Name Here

MeFi has given names to volleyball teams, fantasy sports teams, and bands. Can it come through yet again?

Every Friday night, a couple friends and I participate in a live trivia game at the local watering hole. Our trivia skills aside, the game also features a free pitcher of beer for the team with the best name. We have never won the free beer. MeFi, please help me come up with a great name to end our losing streak.

Background info: the bar is a typical sports bar/grill inhabited primarily by middle class late twenty-somethings to mid thirty-somethings. The winner is selected by the trivia MC and the bartenders. Some names get pretty offensive and nobody seems to care, although I don't think the team would go for something too over the top. Topical names seems to do well--for instance, last week's winner was "Mel Gibson's Designated Drivers".

I was once in a punk "band" called the Angry Red Welts. It's yours if you want it. I'll fully understand if you don't.

I've always been a fan of "Sandy Duncan's Glass Eye"

Similarly, I've always liked "Stuart Scott's Lazy Eye".

One that I've seen come up before is "Touched By An Uncle".

I'm partial to Ugly Stick - so that when you win, you get to tell the other team that they were beaten by an Ugly Stick.

Have all males on the team go in drag. Spontaneously neck from time to time. Call yourselves Lezbollah.

I don't think the team would go for something too over the top.

Nevermind then.

The bar trivia game that I play in some Tuesday nights has two prizes: first place is a $75 bar tab, and second place is a set of pint glasses. Therefore, my team's name is "Enjoy Your Pint Glasses".

I usually try to name teams in such a way as to be the most inappropriate given the members of said team. So, if your team consists of big guys, I'd recommend showing up in biker gear and calling yourselves "The Foppish Dandies"
