Maybe he should have left in on the diamond and go back to an actual instrument. I remember the best thing about that band was we had stickers the stated 'It sucks to be you'. OUr friends were in a band called DSK . They were good friends of this upcoming band from LA called Tool. One of these stickers somehow made it onto Maynards bumper of his car. He pointed it out in an interview. I was soo stoked as I had already become a fan. I have a poster still from the Town Pump where Tool was the first opening act for a DSK and Salvador Dream show.

Popular Post wloutet Posted June 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Speaking of names. I once had a Junior Girl's basketball team called the "Totemettes", because the boys' team were the "Totems". At a tournament I was asked to submit a name for the team, so I threw out "The Fighting Thunderchickens"! When it came out as that in the program, the girls were not amused. But then it sort of grew on them. We even got team jackets with a cool logo of an angry chicken dribbling the ball with lightning bolts over its head. Now the girls loved it. We even had a warm-up song called, "There ain't nobody here but us chickens"! And the name stuck! We came 2nd on Vancouver Island that year, no provincials for girls at that time. Three or four of the team played for Cowichan at the Senior level and they won the girl's BC's. Some were with Kathy Shields at UVIC when they won the Canadians. But, deep down inside, they were "Thunderchickens". 40 years later. I still have the jacket. Edited June 1, 2020 by wloutet 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first softball team had no name but was sponsored by 'The Ladies Auxiliary'. It was written across our chests on a patch. A bunch of 8yr old boys. We got teased a lot. Good job we were a great team, became Island champs. Came 4th in BC if I recall correctly. Getting teased all the way. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine, but our jerseys were brown. I'll let you guess what we were called all year. Also, don't let teammates, while high, name your university intramural ball hockey team. Magical Sparkling Unicorns is not what you want to be called when you're sitting dead last in the league. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I still think the all-time classic is the team from Butte, Montana that some genius decided to call the "Pirates".... ...I'm sure the players wore that jersey with pride.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 A good read i recommend for anyone intereted in silent spreaders. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52840763 As the crisis has unfolded, scientists have discovered more evidence about a strange and worrying feature of the coronavirus. While many people who become infected develop a cough, fever and loss of taste and smell, others have no symptoms at all and never realise they're carrying Covid-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
