Band Names

There is a reason why this came to mind to me today, which you will see in a minute (or three depending on how slow you read and if you are doing something else while reading, because that tends to slow you down). I thought about this one day at work, just a normal day, when I accidentally pulled up a porno website. I gasped and look around me even though I was stuffed in a cubicle, but still, I thought someone would know. I'm telling you it is an accident and you have to believe me because all I was doing was looking up a band. It just so happens that the band was (and still is) called The Tossers. I had just seem them a few nights before open for someone else, who I can't even remember now, and I was really curious to find out more about them. It never even occurred to me what I was in for. I typed in just tossers.com hoping something would come up. And at this point I have to stress to you not to try this unless you do want to see some ass, and I mean see some ass. As soon as I realized my mistake, I used trusty google (and I have no idea why I did not start with that) and the website was actually totally different than tossers.com, and I am assuming it's because that one was taken.

I would like to say that I learned my lesson from that, both in the website searching as well as finding bands with safe names. But, I did not. And not too long after i did a redo. This time the winning band was called The Muffs and I don't think I need to tell you what I found. Lovely people I am sure but my boss who wore a sleigh bell around her neck and had fantasy art in her office right next to her renaissance fair costume would not like the way I was spending my time.

The names aside, these are great bands, both, one being an Irish punk band and the other a female-fronted pop punky thing. I cannot listen to either one without immediately getting a visual on the respective website that I pulled up. So today my trusty ipod on shuffle pulled up The Tossers and I made a little "meep" sound when the image hit, waited for it to pass, and then I enjoyed the song.
