Flosser Merinda has sent in this educational and hilarious chart regarding heavy metal band names. It reminds me of a Ricky Gervais podcast where they attempted to come up with the Most Ultimate Metal Name … Ever. Suggestions included “Brain Hammer” and “Tumor Fish,” but the eventual winner was “Deathlehem,” a band that would only play their concept albums on tour during Christmas. Brilliant.

Natural deodorant is great, but do they have to call it “Funk Butter?”

“I will go where the streets have …” terrible names. Let us hope we never have to say “make a left on Booger Branch and go straight until you hit Diggleberry Road” to direct someone to our abode.

What a wonderful world!

Creepy abandoned amusement park does not evoke the connotations of the word “amusement.”

2008 was a pretty good year for movies, but 2009 will be even better! Whet your appetite with this list of upcoming films (raise your hand if you are geeked over Watchmen … me! me!)
