Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 16 February 2020

A little while back we overheard one of our players contemplating a question when they said “that guy who came up with the theory of evolution. Charles Dickens.”

A little mistake, but a big case of mistaken identity.

Now it’s your turn.

If your team name is a minor name mix up that has major implications you’ll get a bonus point.

Donald Corleone

Henry Ford was in Star Wars

Saving Private Ryan starring Tom Cruise

Who’s the Prime Minister of Canada? Justin Bieber?

It’s elementary Dr Emma Watson

Come up with a case of mistaken identity for an easy bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 9 February 2020

One of our friends recently tried the new Lamington flavoured potato chips… and… big surprise… didn’t care for them.

Of course, taking two wonderful things and combining them into some unholy abomination sounded to us like a pretty bad idea from the word go.

Now it’s your turn. Use your team name this week to suggest two perfectly normal products that would combine to make something nobody in their right mind would like.

Whiskey Ramen

Nuts & Gum (it’s good enough for Homer Simpson)

Have Harry Potter & Wolverine fight with lightsabers. What could go wrong?

I think I’ll have a bacon & chocolate sandwich

Any laughably horrible combinations will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 2 February 2020

So the Coronavirus is making people panic.

You just need to look at this warning from the “Bureau of Diseasology”.

And this week we want you to jump on the bandwagon with your team name.

Make it your bad advice on how to avoid the Coronavirus.

Alcohol kills it, so it can’t infect you if you’re drunk all the time.

My money is covered in bacteria, so I can’t in good conscience give it to you.

Coronavirus hasn’t been detected in Tahiti, so I’m going to have to work from there until further notice.

The more obviously fake & self serving, the better.

Have an interesting week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 26 January 2020

You’ve probably heard of the recent sports rorts, with federal funding being doled out to various projects of marginal benefits. Solar panels for a golf club, new courts for an upmarket tennis club, upgrades for a “struggling” yacht club, all with the vague goals of engaging with the community or improving participation.

Well we don’t want you to miss out on all this government largesse, so for your team name this week, tell us what you’d like to get funding for.

Reduce carbon emissions by buying me a new car.

Funding for a beer sampling festival in my backyard.

Improve community participation with jobs & growth while enhancing national security by… uh… I don’t know, just GIMME GIMME GIMME!

Any project you’d like to be funded will get you a bonus point. The more petty & self-serving the better.

Have an interesting week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 12 January 2020

When you can’t log into an account, you generally get asked security questions.

And normally they’re pretty run of the mill.

But this week we want your team name to be a particular depressing or nihilistic security question.

How old were you when you gave up on your dreams?

In what city did you first experience self loathing?

What was the name of your first childhood pet to die?

Yes team names might get a bit grim this week. Embrace it.

Any needlessly depressing security questions will get you a bonus point.

(In all seriousness, if you have issues with depression, organisations like the Black Dog Institute and Beyond Blue are there to help.)

Have an interesting week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 5 January 2020

A new year has arrived, and with it a new slate of new year’s resolutions.

Of course, most resolutions get broken by the end of January, so this week, we want your team name to be a resolution that you will definitely be able to keep.

Drink more water. Did you know beer is mostly water?

I will procrastinate more… starting next week.

I’ll run a marathon… also it still counts if you add up all the running I do throughout the year.

I will fail to win at trivia.

Any easy to keep resolutions will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 15 December 2019

Everyone reading this either has children, or was a child at some point.

And every one of you knows that kids will have a meltdown over some pretty stupid things.

For your team name this week, we want you to give us a particularly silly reason a young child had a tantrum.

She cried because we didn’t invite her to our wedding, which took place seven years before she was born.

He was angry because his sister was looking out of the window on his side of the car.

I want the blue cup. NO! NOT THAT ONE! I WANT THE OTHER BLUE CUP THAT IS IDENTICAL IN EVERY RESPECT TO THIS ONE!”

But I want to play in the polar bear enclosure at the zoo!”

My son was angry because a tree was taller than he was.

My daughter wanted to eat crayons for dessert.

Any stupid toddler meltdowns will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 8 December 2019

Lord of the Onion Rings

The Sound of Rave Music

Bill & Ted Bundy’s Excellent Adventure

The Bi-Polar Express

Singing in the Acid Rain

Schindler’s Bucket List

Good Will Bargain Hunting
