Preston says the band has not yet invested in the $80 item, but he has cut out the magazine ad.

GOAT BOY

John Barth's book Gelles Goat Boy seemed perfect to Ross I. Markonish '93, guitarist and vocalist.

"I have the book, and I was just like, 'Goat Boy." That was it," he says.

The rest of the band members agreed, mainly because they had to decide on a name before their first glg.

"Choosing a name is not the foremost thing," Markonish says. "We needed a name and this was the best idea at the time."

HOT SPANKY PORPOISE

Even band members don't fully understand this one.

According to Eric J. Pitt '93, the band waited until the last minute to decide on a name. So they got a little help.

"We met at a bar and drank" Pitt recalls. "We thought of lots of names that were utterly ridiculous, as is the one we chose.

Pitt says Hot Spanky Porpoise "just seemed right so we went with it."

He added that once a porpoise logo was drawn, "we knew the name would have to stay."

THE PRESS

If vocalist Aaron J. Snow '93 had his way this hand would have been called McBand.

"We spent days and days trying to come up with a name," he says.
