Step Two for Team Name!

I think it's great. I see it as just having fun. What else are games for?
I can appreciate the viewpoint of 3andstop as I, too, possess old-fashioned values.
But please read on.
When I'm at Walmart and I see a 9 year old girl with the word "Juicy" emblazened across her behind, I think, her parents must be complete imbeciles. My position on this has not changed.
At the very first post, akaTrigger apologized in advance if this thread offended anyone. To her credit, she recognized that it might.
IMO, as adults, Trig and her team mates can call themselves the Hitler-ettes if they so desire, as long as they are willing to accept and deal with whatever consequences may come from their decision.
That said, I looked at their final ten team names and thought that, clearly, they are looking for a 'spicy' name by way of a double entendre (or as Terry suggested, a double nintendo:grin
. Not for a second did I have concerns that kids would pick up on the racy aspect of their team name so, even with my having good moral character and old-fashioned values, I have no real problem with what these ladies are doing here.
It doesn't appear to me that assigning themselves one of these team names would be hurtful to anyone. Just having some fun.
Best,

And there's the point. I have children, and I'm not interested in them sporting clothing that is suggestive, or crude, or vulgar. And that is how we have raised them, to be respectful, and to their (and their mothers
) credit, they are real good kids. I cringe a little when I see the 9-year old with "juicy" on her butt, too.Just because I find these names funny doesn't make me any less responsible as a parent. Or a person. I'm sure that AKATrigger and her teammates are much the same.
The issue, then, is how to go to a jumping off point of thinking that because any of us think this is fun and cute automatically means that we are all crude, crass and poorly dressed? Time and place for everything, and this is one.
Thanks for the viewpoint, KC. You're right on, and so are the girls with their team.

Dirty is in the mind of the beholder.
If you want to see some double entendres that many of us were exposed to in our formative years, watch a Bugs Bunny cartoon from the 50s. Only we didn't know they were until we saw them as adults. That's the way this sort of thing works.
Don't like the program? Change the channel.
Brian in VA - also hates that someone is trying to edit the works of Mark Twain but that's another argument.

No, I'm thinking she gets "Money Shot" put right there on her butt hat. Then they can just wear low cut jeans instead of jerseys!:thumbup:
:rotflmao:
Looks like 3 clear favorites have come out of the pack.
My vote is in! I like "No Holes Barred".... reminds me of pool, the wild wild west (for some odd reason I cannot even begin to explain), and a touch of mystery in the, ahem, provacative sense! Did any of this make sense? Meh, who cares!
Give 'em He-double hockey sticks LADIES!!!!!!!!!!
Peace out,
Amanda

What is that?!?! Seriously, if you're going to say it, go for the gold!
We are a bunch of spirited colorful women. Having a name that's a little tongue in cheek doesn't make us any less classy.
It's all in fun...we aren't going to tattoo it to our bodies...
C'mon , Ashley , think of what a great tramp stamp "NO HOLES BARRED " would make . . . :idea:
and the message ( invitation ? ) it would send for the rest of your life . ... .:blush:
Speak for yourself.
LMAO!
Melinda , I have only 1 thing to say to you about getting this tattooed (especially as a 'tramp stamp') . . . .
TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU !!
or maybe triple 'doggy' dare you ! :grin-devilish:
guess you can tell which name I voted for , huh ?
Note to self... Do NOT do a google image search for '"No Holes Barred" tattoo' while at work!
I like to stay in the good graces of the Moderators!
I doubt "hell" even gets bleeped. Mods got bigger fish to fry.
edit: see, told ya. I'll be seeing y'all in Vegas!

differing ideas of fun
3and stop
did i degrade myself by showing up to work this morning in conservative business attire only to get "looks" from random guys in the office building where i work? i could go so far as to wear a muumuu at league and guys could/would still make their comments and think their thoughts, clean, dirty, or otherwise. maybe i shouldn't bend over when i'm shooting for fear that someone is checking out my backside (i know that's a bit dramatic, but i'll put it out there anyway). Whether or not i wear a shirt with a "play on words" team name isn't going to matter.
i can't control what people think, say, or do based on what i wear and i don't spend a lot of my time concerned with what other people think, say, or do based on what i wear. I only post this to give you an answer to your question . . . no i don't think i'm degrading myself by wearing a sleeved, collared, no cleavage showing, team t-shirt with a "play on words" team name in las vegas at the riv, where i can't recall ever seeing young children watching matches in the tournament room (and i did take some time to remember the last 6 years i've participated, not to say that a few children may be there).
the personalities of me and my teammates obviously differ from you and that's ok. i disagree with you that our team name would imply that we don't hold the game to a high value as our actions (no pun intended) and sportsmanship on the table will speak louder than the words on our shirts. i am part of a great team of women who are passionate about pool and love to have fun. it's not your idea of fun and i understand, but i'm ok with how my team wanted to choose our team name and i'll accept any consequences.

Of course you realize I'm gonna have to google it at home now...
Oh hell, why not? the work computers all have that blue coat protection that doesn't let us go anywhere deemed "unacceptable" anyway. Maybe I'll set off some alarm in the corproate offices or something.
*** Update *** Damned Blue Coat won't even let go to google images, much less type in No Holes Barred. Now I gotta do the search at home. heh heh
I gather it is a very popular series of movies
I expect that you are correct. (Not that I would ever watch that sort of movie, what would 3 And Stop think of me.
) Probably most of the suggested team names have been movie titles in that genre.Tho I somehow doubt the Google Images would show them.
I gather it is a very popular series of movies
Since you checked, what volume # are they up to now?:thumbup:
I quickly closed my search window when the images started to pop up. While, I do work in a pretty relaxed work atmosphere, still not something I want up my screen at work. If you'd like, I'll do some extensive research this weekend. Maybe put up some ratings of each motion picture in the series?
