Poll Update

Heat Three of the band name poll closed with 'Randy Bourbon and the Day of Regrets' taking home the gravy.

Heat Four gives you fine folk the opportunity to choose between Sneaky Baldwin, Today's Urban Youth, The Duplicators and Hey There Jimbo What's Cooking.

I'm sure you will choose wisely.

And if you're wondering, yes I do have more of these. So many, many more.

'Iron Chef: Olives' Would Be My Dream Come True

Everybody has their favourite ingredients, I guess. Things they will add to just about everything. For me, that would be olives. If I saw you making a tasty snack I might say 'Hey! If you like it then you better put an olive on it!'*

Most people have a line that they draw. You don't see many people adding banana to their cheese and ham casserole. I, however, do not have one of these lines. 

I buy some olives. I put them on pasta, that's fine. Nothing wrong with that. Throw them in a cous-cous, you can see what I'm going for. But then I'll put them on a hotdog and you won't be quite as okay with it. Then I get out the vegemite and you will tell me to stop kidding around, that no way am I about to put olives on a perfectly good vegemite sandwich.

But I do. And it's amazing. But you have to have cheese on it as well, otherwise it would just be weird.

Because this entry is pretty short, here are a few more ideas for band names:

• Infrared Laurent
• Him The Friend
• Disco Parasol
• The Feudal Ladies
• Bionic Adversary
• Joey 'Fingers' Dirtyman
• The Fistiest Cuffs
• Hey There Jimbo What's Cooking
• Science/Karate

And a few ideas from the "Bad Names For Bands" list:

• The Viney Gineys
• The Herps
• The Power of Erections
• The HMS HairArtistry

I actually suggested that last one for an actual band name, and was promptly forced to put it on this list.
