The Sex Nadirs
Suggested by Heather, who saw it on a knitting website: "The thing in your relationship that concerns me is the lack of sex. Obviously, things wane. That initial burst of 5 times a day eventually wears off and all relationships do have their sex nadirs (The Sex Nadirs would be a terrible name for a band), but these things are cyclical and temporary."

Chwarter i Nawr
Suggested by one of my professors, who said it would make a good name for an album. Translated from Welsh it means "Quarter to Now." It sounds like it would be a Van Morrison follow-up album to "Inarticulate Speech of the Heart."

The Provo Incident
Inspired by the time I was walking in Provo, Utah, and a guy leaned out the window of a passing car and screamed "Hey man, fuck you!"
Strangely, he did not appear to be screaming at me. I think he was directing his anger toward Provo in general.
