Band Name Ideas

So today Karen and I (and possibly Cam, but more importantly Cam's car) go out to our local electronics store to conspicuously consume expensive merchandise. With any luck, by the end of today I will be rocking out on my new Xbox 360 with Rock Band special edition. Thus finally solving all my problems except one: what should Cam and I name our band?
We tried randomly snatching a band name from the tv listings scroll but although I was really excited about "Anderson Cooper 360" Cam seemed less than convinced. Runners up in my mind were "Dakar Rally" and "Max and Ruby".
Other ideas stolen from non-random television shows include: "World's Most Giant Doctor", "Jet Boy and Jet Girl" (I'd even let Cam be Jet Boy) and... dammit, I can never think of third example to round out a cool list.
Only a few ideas come from life rather than tv: "Strawberry Nazi" and, if we decide to become a Christian band that later sells out and renounces their religion, either "The Apostates" (for a ridiculous death-metal band) or "Aftermaps" (for a ridiculous any other sort of band).
Maybe I've put too much thought into this.

Hint hint

Sorry for the long delay between posts, but it was incredibly difficult to update while I was at home. You see, due to coarse language and mature subject matter I'm trying to keep this blog a secret from my family. Unfortunately it's a small house, there's always at least one person home, and no one has any qualms about walking up behind you while you're on the computer and asking what you're doing.
Anyway, I'm back in the armpit of Ontario now. Rather than list all the things I don't like about Windsor it's probably much more efficient to list the exceptions: Karen, Cam, my space heater, Dragon's Inn, Cam's Xbox, Cam's playstation two, Bill's friend's Xbox 360. By the way, I really need 350 dollars and then 170 more dollars. Badly.

I love Karen.
