"Biomechanical Lesbian" was suggested to me by an anonymous donor. It gets my band name of the month nomination, as I giggle every time I think about it. It reminds me of a stand-up act from the 80's where the woman claimed the word "lesbian" sounded more like the term for a professional technician. Like "Honey! The TV's on the fritz! We better call the Lesbian."
"There is not a more mean, stupid, dastardly, pitiful, selfish, spiteful, envious, ungrateful animal than The Public. It is the greatest of cowards because it is afraid of itself."William Hazlitt was an English critic and essayist (1778 - 1830), friend to William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
