I'm not sure if I'm ashamed of this but I need a new name for my bowling team that starts next Sunday. Normal bowling names disgust me. You know the ones: Alleygators, Splitz happen, Split This, all those annoying ones. I want to use short phrases or lines for the name. Last year, we used "San Dimas High School Football Rules!" from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. The normal bowling folk didn't quite understand it and we loved it. Can you help a rookie out? Let me know what you can think of. I appreciate it!

How about fake business names, as if you had a sponsor?

Bates Motel
Curl Up and Dye Beauty Salon
Sam 'n Ella's Cafe
Greater Baghdad Chamber of Commerce
Club Med at Guantanamo Bay

I've had a bowling shirt idea for some time. I actually have lots of t-shirt ideas, but I need to hook up with a graphic artist (one look at the pic below tells you why). Anyway, you can be Team Pinhead. Then get the pic below embroidered on your shirts or towels or something. Of course, you'll want to get a version of it by someone who isn't terrible at making those things.

I think I mentioned this to you last year. My dad was on a team with 1 other man and 2 women and their team name was "4 balls and 2 splits" We all thought it was funny.

Just go as "unkown". Short and sweet. Here's a few others...

The hookers (it's bowling related, but funny)
T.J. Hooker fan club
The tide is high
Sticks and stones

I guess I could go on and on

the_marq

I'd go with 80's pop music references:

The Culture Club
The Thompson Twins
Pet Shop Boys

...well you get the idea.

I like that idea. How about "Men in Bowling Shoes?"

radioguy

These names are great! Thanks for the help. So far, I'm leaning towards the Greater Baghdad Chamber of Commerce.

My bowling team stole their name from the TV show Ed.

The Badass Cowboys.

Heh my old team consisted of guys I also played baseball with, so we called our team "Strike Zone" with a logo of a baseball demolishing the pins.

radioguy

I've told my bowling mates of your choices and they gave some back to me.

Damn the man, save the empire! - from "Empire Records"
The Hooters - great 80s band
Hey bartender, Jobu needs a refill! - from "Major League"

continued thanks for your help. League starts Sunday. I'll have to have a name by then.

fhqwhgads

Stick with the Bill and Ted theme and use "Wyld Stallions"

Or borrow from the line from The Big Lebowski: "Obviously we're not golfers."
