10,000 Fake Band Names

Songwriter software: Create your own sheet music

So now that you’ve written your songs, it’s time to get the band together.

And the hardest part about getting the band together is not picking out who the drummer or lead singer are going to be, but what the band name will be.

Because a good band name can make or break you.  We all know some bands that can’t get any promotion because they decided to be “edgy” and pick a name that has foul connotations.  Think about it – if you can’t tell your band name to your grandmother (like LMFAO did, whose grandmother approved of their choice), then maybe you’re not thinking down the line enough about the important stuff – like getting paid.

Why are animated FILMS never nominated for Best Director or acting awards?

Toy Story 3
Toy Story 3

It’s a completely legitimate question, especially as Pixar continues its stellar run of high-quality animated entertainment.

There’s a reason why TOY STORY 3 is nominated for Best Picture this year.  There’s a reason why UP was nominated for Best Picture last year.  There’s a reason why WALL-E‘s lack of a Best Picture nomination forced the Academy to increase the number of eligible Best Picture nominees from five to 10, thus ensuring that there would be 5 more chances for an animated film to lose any chance of ever winning a Best Picture award of its own outside of the animation categories.

Want to attract the ladies like the swinging monkeys do? Just pee on yourself. Seriously.

If you have difficulty attracting the ladies, maybe it’s time to take a clue from the animal world and do what they do.

Think about it – there is some truth to how people imitate the strutting, boasting, show of force or elaborate mating rituals that go on in the jungles and forests across the country by animals of all shapes and sizes.

So try not to be surprised if people start to imitate the Human Man’s closest relative, THE MONKEY, COVERS THEMSELVES WITH URINE TO ATTRACT A MATE.

The Most Dangerous Jobs in the World – that shouldn’t be

Dangerous Jobs
Dangerous Jobs

Some people think that their jobs are kind of tough.

You’ve got your standard fireman, policeman, oil rigger, human cannonball, Alaskan fisherman.  Yup, those are some very tough jobs, all with high incidents of injury and death.  For every 100,000 full-time workers, fatal injuries for firefighters is about 4.4, when police rate at 13.1.

But there are some JOBS THAT AREN’T THAT TOUGH, BUT STILL HAVE HIGH INJURY RATES.  Here’s a list of those jobs that may sound easy and lucrative, but in reality may end up putting you in the hospital or worse  Take being a farmer, for instance – their rate of injury is 38.5.  And some would say that working on a ranch is the easy way out.

The Krofft 40th anniversary H.R. Pufnstuf DVD & a live-action movie! (w/ Justin Bieber as Jimmy?)

Pufnstuf & Other Stuff: The Weird and Wonderful World of Sid & Marty Krofft
Pufnstuf & Other Stuff: The Weird and Wonderful World of Sid & Marty Krofft

Web Watch is a huge Sid & Marty Krofft fan.

From Sigmund and the Sea Monsters to H.R. Pufnstuf, to even their later efforts like D.C. Follies, Sid & Marty Krofft were always ahead of the curve in coming up with things that will appeal to kids (yet still have a little subversiveness to help draw in the parents).

We highly recommend the PUFNSTUF & OTHER STUFF book for a history of what the Kroffts have done, although more intellectual minds may want to take a gander at Sid and Marty Krofft: A Critical Study of Saturday Morning Childrens Television.

And to party at the Playboy Mansion?  That’s a dream that everyone has, no matter how corporate some of the more recent parties are rumored to have become (the Mansion is owned by the Company, after all, so they do have some entertainment bills that need to be paid somehow).

But here’s your opportunity to work for Playboy as a PHOTO ARCHIVIST (this link is SFW).

The job details are after the break.
