Rock and Roll Faux of Fame (ver 1.1) #RnRFoF

I figure SOMEONE needs to be in charge in cataloguing the huge number of completely awesome band names that emerge in Twitter. 

I'll gladly assume that responsibility. 

Here is a small starter list, please comment/e-mail/tweet me with others.

ROCK AND ROLL FAUX OF FAME (#RnRFoF) Ver 1.1
 
Selfish Porcupine, Bionic Turtle - @anniecolbert
 
Cake Zombies - @YeungJeans 

God Particle -  @natekelly

Arboretum Pathway - @TakeSumE   

Biopsychosocial Context - @garwboy

Tattered Libido - @orzelc
 
Massive Thatchers - @megpickard
 
Fountains of Methane - @lastcurfew
 
Joplin - @LisaMarieBowman
 
Social Butterflies - @sarahvargo

I am not including my "Rhymes With Bunt", because that is not the kind of band name you share with polite company.

Many, many, more to come...

ver 1.1: added @anniecolbert names. I am ashamed I missed them initially

15 most disturbing movies

With the noticeable absence of the High School Musical series, this list does pretty much capture a strong list of contenders for the 15 most disturbing movies ever.

Audition... yikes.

Pun 2.0

I guess puns are considered the dregs of humor because, in the end, the wit required to execute one is minimal. I wonder if the same is true for quirky uses of social media for grins. There have been many early adopter humorists out there for each new "hot" technology....

Blogs spawned... Vader's blog

Facebook spawned... a Civil war page

Twitter offers.. history, Batman, and a mime.

I have to admit, each of these made me smile when I first saw them, but wonder how they will age. Vader's blog holds up the best for me right now, but that is one part clever writing by the author and one part I am a hopeless geek.

Matrix runs on Windows

Operating System humor. One level below puns, but I liked it....

12 Living Fossils

OK, I am going to get off this list thing sometime soon, but a certain network's "countdown to the 12 days of Christmas" (that's right, a countdown TO a countdown) has inspired me.

So, here are 12 living fossils (no, Keith Richards is NOT featured). Worth a peek just to see the purple frog.... geez.

10 Worst Holiday Albums

These are 10 stinkers featuring the likes of Carey. Twitty, and Bolton.


I had totally forgot about the Twister Sister one. Actually I had forgotten about Twisted Sister entirely. Kinda sad that is no longer the case.


In their defense, they did shoot a mildly creepy video with Alice.

Happy Halloween

Geeky costumes for your viewing pleasure. Have to admit the iPod and Facebook ones were fairly clever.

Five simple things to do to stay sane

Here is one view on five simple things to do to stay sane. Worth a shot. I noticed "Listen to Alice Cooper" and watch "Army of Darkness" were not on the list, but perhaps those are just givens.

20 Dumbest TV Shows

While I am shocked at the omission of anything Tyra Banks touches, these are 20 dumb TV shows. How did I miss "Hole in the Wall"? That one seemed to out dumb the rest.

History of the Joker

Batman's Joker has been portrayed by quite the range of performers... Cesar Romero, Larry Storch, Mark Hamill... oh and those Jack and Heath guys....

The other Palin. Not a political statement, just a nice use of Python clips.

ALice Cooper shakes the world

OK, only California shook, and Alice was not responsible, but he did catch it on video.
