Help us Name the Beast

November 18th, 2009 - Uncategorized - 29 Comments »

I’m currently working on a project with a few other really talented, really funny blokes. We’re going to be putting something together that will hopefully make you laugh until you cry, vomit, come within inches of losing your life, and then return to 100% health, only stronger and more resistant to nomadic strains of H1N1.

It will have lots of original content, will redefine the terms “silly” and “trivial humor”, and will be published a few times a year. We also hope it will raise awareness and a few bucks for important causes. We’d tell you more, but if we did we would have to kill you and make it look like a hunting accident. And then we’d run the risk of leaving behind evidence that would find us being fingered as the prime suspect on an episode of Dateline 5 years from now, and we don’t want that.

Everything is falling into place with this beast except for one thing: the name. We’ve got a couple decent ideas that we’re okay going with if we have to, but we feel like there’s gotta be something better out there.

That’s where you come in. Leave us a name idea (or a couple name ideas) and if we choose yours, you will be given celebrity, short-term superpowers, and the ability to read palms. You will also receive some space in the initial edition of the beast to share whatever it is you want to share with the rest of humanity.

We realize you don’t have a lot of information to go on in offering name suggestions, but you’ve got enough. It will probably be funny, it will probably be quarterly, it will probably support various charities, and it will probably be the wind beneath your wings. Or not.

Either way, the suggestion box is open.

    Kamien, Zgierz County

    Now you better pick this one. It took me all of 30 seconds to go to wikipedia, click the random article, and copy and paste the name into this comment. You can use all 3 words but I think just the name Zgierz is funny enough on its own.

    "The Stuff"

    if only for the potential conversation where one guy asks another if he got "the stuff" or perhaps every time a conversation of this nature occurs, when they are not speaking literally of the stuff named "the stuff," they would owe you money.

    This could also potentially lead to a conversation where, in the rare event a joke is missed, someone might exclaim: "I get the stuff, but I don't get it."

    That would be Unfortunately Hilarious.

    "Unfortunately Hilarious" mighty also be a good title, but only if the comedy is about those moments where humer is found amidst tragedy.
