Band names

[rosewater]

So I decided, kind of out of the blue, that "Susie the Bear" would be a great band name. From there, I leaped to this excellent plan: generate band names by looking up your favorite books on Amazon and checking out their "statistically improbable phrases." I really think Exit Clov may have gotten to this idea before me, but it's a good idea

Well, I recognize Good Omens and Hitchhikers Guide (or, um, Mostly Harmless?), and Wodehouse . . . and I totally have to play this game myself.

Mostly Harmless indeed, and you TOTALLY DO.

After all, it's Sharif's band too. :> (Insofar as it's a band. Can't be a band without a name, anyway.)

And it is, of course, up to the girlfriends to make suggestions of this kind. Maybe we can't play around with musical notes, but we can absolutely play around with words.

which ones are from douglas adams?

"Perfectly Normal Beast" is from Mostly Harmless, and Joanna said last night that she found some good ones for Long Dark Teatime of the Soul.

P.S. I don't really think Cow Creamer would be a good name for a band, but I have been trying to sell Dan on The Frozen Limit, which is one of the aliases for the oft-raided club The Mottled Oyster in the Jeeves books.
