City Naming Thread

[Sir Bugsy]

Obviusly for suggesting names of cities.

Most importantly we need to name our capitol. We'll probably want a concensus there.

Since Elvis is our leader, perhaps Graceland would be a good capitol name.

[RickFGS]

Great Balls Of Fire ...for second city

 

[madviking]

Elvisbul?

 

[Daghdha]

Great Balls Of Fire ...for second city

We could tweek that to Great Walls of Fire

 

[Ansar]

...perhaps Graceland would be a good capitol name.

Yes, Graceland has a nice ring to it.

Great Balls Of Fire ...for second city

...Daghda's suggestion of Great Walls of Fire sounds better IMHO.

Elvisbul?

At least it's not Elvisbull.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

I agree with the Istanbul (Not Constantinople) idea if we are Ottos. Hands down the best.

Great Walls of Fire for City number two is

 

[RFHolloway]

Clearly Irish Rover for our first ship!

 

[Daghdha]

OK we're Celts . Since The Pouges has been up in the Gray Hare I suggest Dirty Old Town as our capitol. Pleas note the last verse

Dirty Old Town
by Ewan McCall

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
It's a dirty old town, a dirty old town.

Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring’s a girl in the street at night
It's a dirty old town, a dirty old town.

Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smokey wind
It's a dirty old town, a dirty old town.

I’m going to make a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
It's a dirty old town, a dirty old town.

 

[RickFGS]

Dirty Old Town as a nice sound to it.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

I agree with Daghie! Dirty Old Town for a capitol is perfect

As I went trudgin' across the tundra . . .
mile after mile
on my way home this evening (it was very cold - 1 F)

I realized we need to have a city called St. Alphonzo's or St. Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast

 

[RFHolloway]

I propose the names Craig Reid, and Charlie Reid for our first 2 warriors. Together they are the names of a scotish band called the Proclaimers, who are principally known for one hit.

When I wake up
Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man
Who wakes up next to you
When I go out
Yeah I know I'm gonna be

Who goes along with you
If I get drunk
Yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man
Who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver
Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man
Who's havering next to you
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm working
Yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man
Who's working hard for you
And when the money
Comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass every penny
Right along to you
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
Da da da da

When I come home
Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man
Who comes back home to you
And if I grow old
Well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man
Who's growing old with you
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

RF// I garee totally. These guys will install some fear in the ancient world

 

[Sir Bugsy]

That's a great song. It is simple to play I-IV-V, lends itself nicely to harmonies, and allows one to embarrass themselves with a phony Scottish accent.

 

[madviking]

Evermore as the site of a battle? (Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin? Teehee... )

 

[Perfection]

THERE NEEDS TO BE A UNIT CALLED "A boy named Sue", JERKBUTTS!

 

[Sir Bugsy]

THERE NEEDS TO BE A UNIT CALLED "A boy named Sue", JERKBUTTS!

Such civility. Welcome Perfection. So are we all jerkbutts? Or anyone in particular?

How about "Nutbush City" after that IkeAndTina song: Nutbush City Limits.

A church house gin house
A school house outhouse
On highway number nineteen
The people keep the city clean
They call it nutbush, oh nutbush
They call it nutbush city limits

Twenty-five for speed limit
Motorcycle not allowed in it
You go to store on friday
You go to church on sunday
They call it nutbush, oh nutbush
They call it nutbush city limits

You go to the fields on weekdays
And have a picnic on labor day
You go to town on saturday
And go to church every sunday
They call it nutbush, oh nutbush
They call it nutbush city limits

No whiskey for sale
If you get drunk no bail
Salt pork and molasses
Is all you get in jail
They call it nutbush, oh nutbush
They call it nutbush city limits

A little old town in tennessee
A quiet little community
A one-horse town
You have to watch what youre putting down
In old nutbush, oh nutbush

 

[Perfection]

Such civility. Welcome Perfection. So are we all jerkbutts? Or anyone in particular?

You're all jerkbutts, but you, Sir, are dog-urine too.

 

[RickFGS]

now now lets keep this civil. Bad languagers will be shot

 

[Daghdha]

You're all jerkbutts, but you, Sir, are dog-urine too.

Come now, we don't have to be that formal. In here you can skip the "Sir". I just call him Bugs or Bugsy.
