so over on reddit some one asked about naming your band and here's my response:

This Band just to go for the "who's on first" jokes
I have a list of band names. One of my faves is: Alias, A.K.A. Alter Ego.

Every person in the band would perform under a stage name that is the REAL name of an established performer who uses a stage name. So you’d have something like “Reginald Dwight” on keyboards, “Chaim Witz” on bass, “John William Lowery” and “Brian Patrick Carroll“ on guitar, “Bryan Kei Mantia” on drums, “Prince Rogers Nelson” guitar & vocals, or some such.

Also, Animaniacs kinda beat you to it:
 



And another thread devolves into a “my game is better” argument rather than having anything to do with the topic.

Achilles: Zeno ... Zeno ... Zeno .... ZENO!

Zeno: sigh Hey, Achilles. What's going on?

Achilles Nada mucho mi hombre. I was just at that new pizza place that opened up downtown that you recommended, the Canadian House of Pizza & Garbage.

Zeno: .... you just want to argue with me about pineapple on pizza again, don't you?

Achilles: No! No, of course not. Just wanted to give you my in-person yelp review. Service was good! Ambience - chef's kiss! And the pizza? Well, I had heard that Canadians invented Hawaiian pizzas, so I was decided to order one, and...

Zeno: Yep, here we go... you just can't help yourself, can you?

Achilles: What? I don't know what you're talking about. I mean, isn't that a saying? "When in Canada, do as the Canadians do and drink Hawaiian punch, OH YEAH!" I think that's it. So anyway, I got my Hawaiian pizza. You know, I was really enjoying that pizza. It smelled great. The crust ... perfection. The cheese was so good. The sauce was an exercise in tomato-y yumminess. But on my second bite ... I tasted ... pineapple. It totally ruined the pizza for me. How could they ruin such a wonderful pizza with pineapple?!?

Zeno: But you ordered a Hawaiian pizza Achilles! Hawaiian pizzas have pineapple on them.

Achilles: You have to stop it Zeno! I'm not trying to get into an argument about the point of the Hawaiian pizza. I'm just telling you why the pizza sucked.

Zeno: ...I've had a perfectly wonderful conversation, but this wasn't it.

Patroclus: Our pizza place has now grown into a pizza empire and now that we’ve had this overwhelming success, I want to reminisce about things that we could’ve done differently.

Achilles: Proof! Pineapple on pizza never worked!

Patroclus: Well, no, not quite what I meant but also, look how successful we’ve been anyways!

Achilles: Nope! You said it! I heard it! You’re equivocating!

Patroclus: Why does it always come back to this?

Achilles: I don’t know…call it a weakness. By the way why does my heel hurt?
 

Achilles: Zeno ... Zeno ... Zeno .... ZENO!

Whataboutism. No one is talking about Zeno and Achilles. ;)
 

New Thread Idea: The title is just "What do you think about this YouTube video?" and links to a video complaining in somewhat abstract terms about another video, but you can't quite understand what it's about so you follow the link to the video it's complaining about, and that video is also a guy complaining in abstract terms about another video. How many videos deep does this have to be nested before people give up? I'm thinking if done poorly it'll end early, sure, but I'm wondering if it could be done in such a way as to draw people into a rabbit hole?

I thought that was every other thread now?
