Wordsmoker Anthropology: Help Ducky’s Team Not Be Lame

June 30, 2011 in Wordsmoker Anthropology

Confirmation that Chillbear's a Pitcher, not a CatcherIn an attempt for me to get some exercise and have an excuse to drink beer, I have signed up for a summer adult kickball league. That’s “adult” as in no spawn allowed—not like the “adult” where everyone runs around in ass-less chaps and nipple clamps (to my never-ending disappoint). Our first game is coming up, and we are missing a vital piece of information: a team name. We need one for when we’re booed off the field to engrave on our trophies, and so that the groupies know which team they’re supposed to be helping “get in the zone.”  I have been reading the few names suggestions provided so far, and let me tell you it is grim, folks. I know that I’m probably not dealing with rocket scientists, but still, I’m pretty sure mythical typing monkeys could put out a better product.

Take a look at the shit being put out:

  • Here for Beer
  • Sofa King Good
  • Crab Cakes and Kickball
  • I’d Hit That

Obviously, these are all shameful and I can’t possibly perform well under such awful names, so I am challenging you to come up with a team name that will rock their little knee socks off. We play Fridays and go to a local bar after to drink to our wins/losses lesser wins. Oh and our jerseys are blue. Not a lot to go on, but I know your collective brilliance will pull through with fantastical names that I will then pawn off as my own. Kickballers everywhere are counting on you—failure is not an option.

    You could always be “Los Locos” in a nod to the Mexican street gang from the 1988 Disney Classic “Short Circuit 2,” giving you the opportunity to adopt their catchy chant:

    Los Locos kick your ass
    Los Locos kick your face
    Los Locos kick your balls into outer space.

    How about “The Rubber Storm” and you can use this little guy as your mascot.

    Also, Sofa King Good? That’s been used at every single trivia night I’ve ever been to.

    I like The Piper Palins. A lot.

    If I were starting my own team I’d call it something like David Bowie Riding a T-Rex Through a Porsche Explosion, because you really can’t get cooler than that.

    Wuvbear,
    I like rubber storm.

    Being a bit of a Nihilist I hate slogans, names, identities. All my shirts have neutral or nameless patterns. I remember a four year old Worthless Emo telling his mother he wanted to be a vegitarian and that anybody who wore backpacks or carried lunch boxes with cartoon themes were disgusting. I remember the feeling was maternal and strong. I had to learn to be nice and practical over the years.

    Have fun!!

    I remember being the fastest creature in my age group. I remember enjoying speed more than the game, and my teammates are mostly dead or pregnant or in jail now.

    I’m throwing my support behind Team Ball & Oates. Will you post updates on your scores? Also, Ducky? Chaps are always ass-less. It’s what distinguishes them from pants. Not that I haven’t seen a gent or two wear them in lieu of pants…

    And how could we have so far omitted “The Brave Heroes of Seal Team Six?”

    The bastards crapped all over it. They had a chance to be something, but they pissed on the pillar of Invention. The Duck’s team name has all of the creative inspiration of the Oakland A’s.

    Hope is dead.

    @ Chillbear Latrigue:

    While the team name may be kind of a dud, it’s not too late to design the team some fun and funky uniforms.

    Here’s what I’ve been able to come up with in preliminary sketches. Just try to ignore the Mexico stuff, I was getting excited:
