[help] Volleyball team name
 
We need a team name for our company volleyball team. Bonus points if it's funny and relates to crops or bad weather, especially hail (I work in crop insurance, it's even less interesting than it sounds). But really just so long as it pushes the envelope but is something we could get away with having on the back of our t-shirts, I'm interested. I guess you guys don't have a rep system here, but I'll give mad mental rep points to the winner.

At a former workplace there was a volleyball team organized by someone named Daihung. They ended up calling themselves Only The Good Dai Hung.

Yeah, I know, that doesn't help you.

The front runners so far are The Silage Patch Kids, Hail's Bales, and The Hail Caesars, with The Hail Caesars having a slight edge. Mostly because it lends itself to a Toga Party and drunken catchphrases like "Et tu Brute??". I do like Hail in a Handbasket though.

Volleyball? Jolly Balls.

You're supposed to clap your opponents points and lack of them.

No huh?

Hail Marys

Hail Raisers (Razors?)

Dingleschmutz 03-25-2008 11:50 AM

Hail Marys? That could be fun. You only go to hell for that if you're Catholic, right?

Hail Raisers was our name last year. Can't decide if we want to change it up or not. Someone's already working on a logo, but I think it looks like a constipated golfball.

The team is a company team and the company works in crop insurance.

I think that this is the best so far.

monster 03-25-2008 03:25 PM

If the team is old enough, you could be "Over the Hail"

Do you insure against the appearance of crop circles by the way?

monster 03-25-2008 03:26 PM

Oh Crop!

(or Aw Crop!)

Radar 03-25-2008 03:42 PM

Hails Bales (Hail & Farming) is the best of the ones in the running...

Probably not, most of the team is around my age and I'm 26. And though I'm one of the younger ones, a few of my older teammates just got in trouble for giggling like stoned hyenas at the "Me So Corny" one. So we're not exactly dealing with the most mature minds. But yeah, lots of little green imaginary rep boxes to whoever came up with that one, though Crop Circle Jerks is one of my faves too.

And speaking of crop circles... Hmm... Good question. I'd assume so, but it's probably under a vandalism clause or something. Which is stupid, we definitely need an extraterrestrial clause.

I always wanted to be the Trailer Park Pikers just so I could get drunk and say "D'ya like dags?" all day. My teammates gave me one of those sideways dog looks. It hurt a little inside. Sigh...

I quit believing in Extraterrestrial Clause when I was about 7. I'll never forget that day. Dreams of youth, shattered.

Dingleschmutz 03-26-2008 09:11 AM

I've never believed in them in the sense that I think little booger people from outer space are flying around earth and only visiting redneck colonies. I just want an extraterrestrial clause on an insurance policy because the idea of that makes me laugh. On the inside.

lumberjim 03-26-2008 12:23 PM

just to hear people pronounce it.
