Wacky band name games!

[inmyriadbits]

Hi guys! Let's play a game.

I'm having an unhealthy amount of fun coming up with ridiculous band names while writing Bugs/Adam fic. For those of you unfamiliar with Who Is Bugs Potter? (and let me know if you would like to become familiar with it, because I'm all about pimping Kormanfic fandoms), Bugs is a drum-crazy kid who loves rock bands with stupid names like Dorchester Melon, Winged Tortoise, Nuclear Teacup, Spoon Rest, Vanderboom, and Busted Chandelier. And don't even get me started on the song titles. :P

So here's the deal: you give me a random word--the weirder, the better, or maybe something totally simple. I'll come up with the rest of the band name. Tell me if you want a word in return so you can make up your own. It's fun!

Here's a few I have already:

Trilobite Me
Carrot Afternoon
Real Estate Typhoon
Toothpick Conspiracy
etc.

Come play with me! Make sure to say if you want a word, too. :D

Ooh, good one. :D

If you want a word, take "sweater vest".

OMG, HAVE I NOT PIMPED THIS TO YOU YET, FOX?!!? You are perfect for this fandom, what is wrong with me, for reals? Okay, there's two comms: exaltedkarpoozi, which is all Kormanfic, and scrimmettes, which is allegedly Bruno & Boots-specific, but it's such a small fandom that any Kormanfic goes. I haven't read DCH, so I haven't looked, but I know there's at least a couple of ficlets in the kissing meme post. I'd check out the comms. Or you could write some! Seriously, this fandom needs more people; it's way too small in proportion to how much fun it is. Have you read any other Korman books? If you have, tell me which ones so I can rec things. If you haven't, tell me your email so I can send you the ebooks of his that I have and pimp for all I'm worth. Because really, so much of his stuff has the same good things about it, but in all-new arrangements and wacky new outfits. :) Ooh, and there's a serious dearth of Cathy/Diane femslash in the B&B fandom. They are so much fun, too, it's a shame. We NEED you, Fox. *big eyes*

*considers*

Okay, dude, pimp me in. I like fandoms like this.

(I read a few Bruno & Boots books two years ago, at the advice of fandom, and also I just bought Born to Rock used last week, because it looked kind of awesome.)

[inmyriadbits.livejournal.com]

Here's at least one DCH ficlet. I'm sure there's another in that meme, but I'll let you do the rest of the poking around. :)

[inmyriadbits.livejournal.com]

P.S. Did I mention one of the books is set at summer camp? And that someone wrote the most amazing long sequel fic where they are back at summer camp some more? It's all summer camp, all the time. And I'm pretty sure Rudy counts as a boy genius, he's pretty Machiavellian. COME TO THE DARK SIDE, AMY. WE HAVE COOKIES.

P.P.S. Are you online to chat? I'm eviltwin310 on gchat and lindseywithe on AIM.

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

I am adding you to GChat RIGHT NOW.

...God, I'm easy.

(But also excited! SUMMER CAMP BOOKS. I LIKE SUMMER CAMP BOOKS.)
