We were in the asexual Mom-mobile this afternoon, coming home from various music lessons. On the radio was an upbeat Irish sounding tune and when glancing at the radio, I noticed the name of the band was "Flogging Molly".
"What a great name for a band!" I said to my eldest boy... and the following conversation ensued to the best of my recollection.
Ringo: Yeah, they're a great band. They're going to be playing at SunFest you know?
I hate SunFest. I hate the crowds, the problem with parking, the crowds, the heat, the crowds.
Me: No way. Really?
Ringo: Really.
Me: Hunh. I may have to go... You know, I could come up with a band name equally good for you. How about Punching Sean?
Ringo: No... please.
Me: Punt Puppies.
Bones: What is a punt puppy?
Explanation as to what a punt puppy is, ensued.
Me: You could call it... Punting Bones!
Bones: Hey!
Ringo: Right.
Me: Wait! I have it! Whipping Walter.
Remember this post..., I pronounce the WH when saying words such as what, when, where, and whip. It makes Ringo bat crap crazy.
Ringo: NO! NO! You did it again. Whhhhipping Walter. NO. It's WIP. WIP!
Me: It's a GREAT name and you know it!
Ringo: NO! You'd make everyone pronounce it like you do and it would make me nuts! I'd NEVER let you buy a CD! Never.
The fight continues over the pronunciation of words and I'm still bent as hell on coming up with a name for his band, even if Whhhipping Walter was a joke.
For your enjoyment... Flogging Molly. Gotta love a Drunk Irishman on a skateboard...
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
