You know those days when your brain is all squishy and it seems like forming complete sentences is just as impossible as constructing a working jet-pack from plastic bags and Twizzlers? Yeah? Me either.
Let’s just suppose for a moment that such days existed. Let’s further suppose that Elly might just be having one of those days. Then let’s suppose she stumbles upon this post from Avitable.
Let the reindeer games begin!
- Go to the “Random Article” link on Wikipedia. Write down the title of the article. This is the name of your band.
- Go to “Random Quotations” and the last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
- Go to Flickr and click on “Explore the Last Seven Days”. The third picture will be your album cover.
So I followed his instructions to create my very own album cover:
It’s lovely and all, but somehow I felt a little let down. I started reminiscing about some of the other great band names and albums you kids have suggested in your comments. Hell, I could put out a record. I sing at least as well as Taylor Swift. (So can my tone-deaf husband for that matter.)

C’mon, you know you want to play too! I can’t wait to see what you crazy bitches come up with.

Can I borrow those hair clippers from yesterday’s post? I’ve got some meat curtains of my own I’d like to shear.
Oh, and a couple towels would help.
Thanks.
(What? I need inspiration to write the album, don’t I)

I want those shower curtains.
I’m assuming they’re shower curtains and not actually a close-up of Roseanne Barr’s nether region.

Excellent. In my family, we like to play a little game called “Band Name, Album Title, or First Song?” You’ve got all of these, plus album art. I believe we might be officially married now.
