need creative minds
we work in teams here at work.

we are finally getting the chance to come up with a new team name, and our last one was beyond lame.

Background:

we had about 10 of us on the team and then: 1 got promoted, 2 transferred, 2 quit. we're basically starting over, almost.

trying to think of a clever name, because the ones being suggested are even more lame.

any creative ideas are welcome.

7. for the most part that would actually apply to most of my team.
i don't see the boss going for it though.

the irony of your choice is that for my friend in Boston i have a ringtone designated for him of the scene in the bar where he says all they need is Spock and they have an away team.

cracks me up everytime he calls.

Your boss will approve because he/she gets to wave around the threatening golden skull staff to accentuate all pronouncements:

"NO Henderson, that's a BAD idea!"
