We left Seattle on a misty Thursday on a quest to find some summer. We found it, appropriately enough, in Sunnyside, and sent some back. It was waiting for us when we returned to Seattle on Friday. You're welcome. On to the picks:
The Gnu Deal
C'mon, who doesn't like to play around with the word "gnu"? The pun is almost too easy, but everyone on the panel laughed.
Magoozler
Goofy and fun to say.
Merchants of Moonshine
They're in the country listings, so we can guess what they mean by moonshine. I kind of like the more poetic interpretation, too. Any of us purveyors of fiction could fall into this category.
Naked Bacon Band
Never noticed before that "naked" and "bacon" almost rhyme. This one also got general laughs around the table.
Natalie Wouldn't
Another pun that's almost too easy, but those are the best kind. Do young people even remember Natalie Wood?
Naming a band is an act of concentrated creative expression. Square Pig in a Round Hole exists to reward five favorite band names each week. Winners are listed alphabetically. Selection is wholly unscientific and subject to whim, with a bias toward wordplay, humor, and local flavor. In most cases, I won't know anything about the bands at the time of selection. Thanks to the Seattle Times club listings for abundant source material!
