Freakin' Awesome

It's not something I talk about much, because the dream has died. But once upon a time, I had an imaginary rock band. I was the super-hot and talented lead singer. Various girls I knew and loved were the amazing drummer, guitar player, and bassist, respectively. I'm pretty sure our imaginary band was too cool for keyboards. We had the best wardrobe any band has ever had: we're talking stiletto boots, fringe, leopard print, and fishnets galore. We were HOTT. Everyone wanted us and we were bigger than The Beatles. And all of our imaginary groupies were cute and smart and funny.

My imaginary band was called The Brazen Hussies. It was ironic, see, because we were all the goody-two-shoes, earned-our-white-wedding-dress type girls. (See, the plan was to lure in an audience with the titillating band name...sort of like the band called Free Beer and Pizza.) I mostly started the imaginary band so I could call it by that freakin' awesome imaginary band name. When my freakin' awesome, hilarious friend, Joe, and I discovered our mutual obsession with Dave Barry's "Hey, that would be a great name for a band" running gag, our friendship was sealed. We've been naming imaginary bands ever since. I believe his imaginary band is called Screaming Weasels. That's pretty darn good, but I'm still partial to The Brazen Hussies. It's freakin' awesome.

What would your imaginary band be called? If you can't think of something off the top of your head, maybe this can help you.

    The Republican Uncle

    Weirdest band name ever.

  • this has been a subject discussed at great length by me and the mister and his brother.

    our standing favorite is "i'm gay."

    we want djs everywhere to have to say "i'm gay," all the time.

    we also like "chicks dig tony."

  • Awesome. I think Dody's is my favorite from the generator. And as always, RM has me in tears...of laughter!

    I could spend all day playing with those generators and quizes. Wait a minute, I already did! (I always KNEW that red was my power color and that I could pass 8th grade science.)

  • Did you notice that the generator asks you to input your name(somehow making you feel as if it really does have insights into your soul, and is naming a band based on those insight) but if you put the same name in over and over again, the name of the band continues to change. The name inputting is pointless, but it makes you feel so validated.

    Did any of that make any sense?

    PS. Saw your mom yesterday.

  • Oooooh, spooky. I didn't notice that, since it didn't occur to me to enter the same name more than once. I'm kind of glad that's how it works, because I got a really lame, unmemorable band name the first time.

    P.S. I'm supposed to see both parents today, that is if they got on the road on time.

  • That generator can get DIRTY! The band name that it created for me is so not G-rated. Heck, it's not even PG-13. Gina, what are you subjecting your readers to?

  • I got "Know Someone Pregnant?"

    haha. ok. no. I got The Puffy Housewives.
    Stupidest. Name. Ever.

    I would go with a one word name. A big word. Like Clandestine. Only I'd spell it with a K and I'd sing only white power songs.

    It was once my dream to be in a band who's only song was a lightly punked out version of the golden grahams song... so happy together. I pretty much wanted to be the brown Gwen Stefani.
    Still wannabe.

  • I'd pay to see The Plastic Yankees, but only with you on lead guitar/locals, Rush.

    Christi, I'm sorry that naughty generator offended your delicate sensibilities. Perhaps you will feel better if you find a way to incorporate it into your Apples game.

    Arwen, I've BEEN a puffy housewife, and I hope to rejoin the ranks again next spring. That being said, I prefer "zaftig" or "cuddly" to "puffy." And I love that you think the origin of "So Happy Together" is just a cereal jingle. You are so cute!

  • I'm slightly offended that you think I am daft enough to not know the origins of SHT. (haha... that's a little too close to sh*t for comfort)I am fully aware that it is a song from your time... old timer. I'm just trying to put it into context that is attainable to the most readers. and if that means attaching it to a popular cereal commercial from the majority of the blogmunities childhood, then so be it.
    Phew- now that that is off my chest- I like zaftig too, though I don't think it means what they think that it means.

  • Arwen, I'm so relieved! I didn't think you were ig-nant!

    As for zaftig, I'm going with Mark Twain's definition. It's tough to make a mistake with Mark Twain as your guide. (Unless it's his opinion of Jane Austen.)

  • In Apples it is all about being subtle.

    There is nothing subtle about "The Inflatable Weiners."

  • What, you mean Ball Park Franks? "They plump when you cook 'em"? I'm sure that's what it means.

  • New respect...

    New respect.

    Well done my friend.

  • That'll teach you not to mess with the Master of Innuendo.

    Actually, I hope it doesn't teach you...giving the lessons is too much fun and I don't want it to stop anytime soon. =P

    P.S. You looked super cute at the wedding. I loved your hair!
