Tuesday Top Ten: Would-Be Trivia Team Names

If this was a time before I had two wonderful children, I would be spending this Tuesday night at Rocks playing bar trivia.  The goal of trivia team names each week is to win the "funniest team name," as chosen by the bar staff, which resulted in a free round of shots and, more importantly, laughs or, more importantly, groans, from fellow trivia players.  The best trivia team names came after someone famous died.  Dark comedy is perfect for people getting drunk on a Tuesday night trying to outsmart other people getting drunk on a Tuesday night.  For instance, after James Brown died, such team names as No Longer Livin' in America and Papa's Got a Brand New Grave not only brought the house down but allowed everyone to cope with the loss of the Godfather of Soul.  With the passing of Donna Summer and Robin Gibb last week, disco lost two of its icons.  Had I been at Rocks tonight instead of writing this post and wiping feces off of other humans, I would have proposed one of the following team names:


1.  Stayin' aliiii -- well, maybe not anymore
2.  I guess now she'll really never have that recipe again
3.  Disco demolition week
4.  Hell turns into disco inferno
5.  Last dance
6.  You're next, Peaches and Herb
7.  Robin Gibb loses battle with night fever
8.  It's fun to stay in H-E-L-L
9.  God:  finishing what Comiskey Park started 
10.  Do a little dance, make a little love, get cancer, die
