My 80s Hair Band Would Be Called: Scunci

So my brain is still in 80′s hair band mode I guess.  I was thinking of some of the dumb names people had for bands… not that it has gotten any better.  There seemed to be a popular trend to name your band after something satanic or ominous.  But you also had those bands named after animals like RATT, or Def Leopard, or Great White, White Lion, Scorpions, Vixen, Whitesnake or ummm Hanson.

Not that Hanson TOTALLY sucked… I mean sure they looked like the product of the Nelson Brothers humping the night away… with each other, but they had harmony, right?  JUST KIDDING!  Hanson DID totally suck.  I don’t care if I did sing a long to “MMMBop” – for those 3 and a half minutes, I sucked too.  And really Hanson was a 90′s band (but I swear they started growing that hair around ’82).

I probably like Def Leopard the best out of all of these, with Hysteria taking the lead of all the albums.  I liked all their album art, but couldn’t wrap my mind around “Def Leppard”… or was it DEAF Leopard?  Doesn’t do much self-promoting for their music quality.  What kind of fear does a deaf leopard create?  Some Hellen Keller leopard trouncing around the jungle… unless he sees you – you are safe.  You may even get to kill it if you can sneak up on it, standing down wind and all.  Yeah stinky, I’m talking to you!

I look a little like a tiger today – earned my stripes the hard way with Ye Olde Weed Whacker.  I ran the damn thing down the front of my shins while putting it down, nailed both legs with one stroke!  So now I have about twelve stripes (albeit very close stripes) down my legs.  It was good for getting me out of more lawn work for the rest of the day – but I don’t think I will employ that trick again anytime soon.

P.S. No offense to any blind, deaf and mute blog enthusiasts out there (regarding the Hellen Keller wise crack).  I didn’t mean to offend you… in fact I had no idea you would find out about my little slice of heaven right here.  Luckily its not much to look at!  Little blind joke for you there.
