You know the deal. Every now and then, in the course of normal conversation, you say something that is equal parts awesome and disgusting (perhaps with a hint of "in your face"). As soon as you say it, you realize: that would be a good name for a punk band.
This is a game I have been playing with friends and enemies for years. The official list has been stuck to my fridge since the late '90s. Now, thanks to the power of the world wide web, you too can be a part of the phenomenon known as the "That Would Be A Good Name For A Punk Band" list.
Below you will find the top names from the original list. Where applicable, there is also the name of a potential album, the definition/explanation/origin of the name, or a link to the band - in the event that the name refers to a band that actually makes, or once made, music.
Also, if you are in a band (punk or otherwise) and you'd like to use one of these names for your burgeoning musical project, feel free. All I ask is that you give 'Awesome And Disgusting' credit if anybody ever asks you where the name came from.
Laslty, If you feel moved to add new names to the list, just send them to awesomeanddisgusting@gmail.com
They will be added as long as they are not totally lame. Fuck with it.

Olestra
- Definition: In 1968 Procter & Gamble researchers, in their quest to create a way of increasing premature babies' intake of fat, synthesized a fat substitute called sucrose polyester. Procter & Gamble named its product "olestra." Olestra has an extraordinary avidity for certain fat-soluble substances, far exceeding what one would expect based on the fat substitute's proportion of the diet. Olestra's removal from the body of fat-soluble nutrients is linked directly to the additive's being a non-absorbable lipid-like substance.
In other words, your body can't absorb it, so it leaks out of your butt.

Cruel Circus
- Origin: From McSweeny's daily:
"If you're ever traveling in northern Thailand and get a hankering for some spicy stuff that'll gross you out, gung ten is the dish for you. It's raw shrimp the size of your pinkie nail on a bed of chili pepper about 20 times spicier than prik nam pla (spicy fish sauce). Half a bottle of whiskey is poured on top right before it's served; this means that anyone who doesn't know exactly what gung ten is lifts the dish's lid and ends up with shrimp dancing into his or her lap. It's a cruel circus, basically, and quite a thing to see. The shrimp look like they have a nice golden tan, but really they're just melting from the inside out after ingesting 30 times their weight in Thai whiskey. Once everyone stops laughing, the server puts the lid back on the bowl and shakes it until most of the shrimp are dead. You won't be able to eat more than three bites of this, but you're in Thailand, so it probably cost about as much as a pack of fruit snacks."

I Am Looking At Gay Porn
- Origin: There is a computer-based practical joke that involves sending an unsuspecting person a link via email. The link will usually be labeled "Amazing video" or "You have to see this to believe it!" along with instructions to turn the volume up loud so as not to miss anything. Ideally the recipient opens this email in a library, at work or some other very public place. Then, when they click on the link, instead of an amazing video a loud voice comes on and repeatedly declares "I am looking at gay porn!" Apparently the recording goes on for at least a minute and there is no way to turn it off.

Iron Gyro
- Origin:
From some kid named Jamie on Iron Hero's MySpace:
"Do you guys remember that time we all took a BOAT LOAD of mescaline and sauntered on down to the Winterville rodeo? Lawson ended up eating a cactus taco (con chorizo of course!!!!) and we all sang "I'm an Indian Outlaw" over the PA?
We were all so startled by the way the animals were being treated. We wept and spat and cursed those riders, but they were simply doing what they knew. We fully understood the interconnectivity of all things as we laid back, took turns smoking from a "Senaca 100" menthol cigarette, and marveled at our ability to see the individual particles in the air laid out before us like a grid as we lazily slinked between them. We found the color orange and sold it to "jazz."
We awoke, our bodies tangled naked together under a canopy of blazing stars. "I stepped in cow-shit," Sam said, and we all laughed and drank the rain water that had pooled in the center of the large leaves that were our bed.
For the first time in hours, (days? weeks? who knows?) I realized I was starving. "I am so hungry I could eat an iron gyro," I said.
We all looked at one another and knew...it was the start of something bigger than ourselves."
