I like Blues Brothers and if we go with a Star Wars theme it has to be Return of the Jedi, since we are returning to the playoffs.

Not saying there is anything wrong with them, just not for me personally.

As for another possible idea, maybe something around the Blues Brothers?
I guess ironic humor isn't very popular. The entire point of doing it is that St Louis IS NOT a redneck city.

Too many people would actually take us seriously, that's the problem.

In my opinion, those are people whose reactions I really don't care about. (I realize we're not doing it, BUT the point would be that we're mocking exactly those people.)

I get it. Normally I'm all for ironic humor.

Can't really pinpoint why i can't get behind this one. I'm sure they'd turn out well.

Well if we do it, I call anything related to the SEC.

Play that with the trapping myth, and you've got a beauty.

I could get behind something really playing up the "trappers". You could do stuff with French Canadian guys, Daniel Boone, fur hats, Admiral Akbar (there's more material there), animals losing paws in bear traps, dead mice with cheese, etc.

Or, totally unrelated:
pop rappers of the 80s/90s. Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, Beastie Boys, etc.
"Cup in the Hood, Yo!"

Both of those would be pretty interesting IMO.

Nelly has to be represented and Eminem and anyone else from Detroit has to be left out.

Daniel Boone would be perfect for Arnott if we go that route.

Haha, like the stache. Not sure how I'm feeling about the helmet in that pic though. Tarantino theme definitely has potential though.

the Tarantino idea is awesome!

Backes should be Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds, obviously

I haven't made a poll before, but I'll put one up Saturday and give it a week.

If you want to nominate an idea to be there, just do it on this thread. I think we can be pretty inclusive. If there are too many entries, we can have a 2nd round of voting for just the top two or three ideas.

I guess if I get bored I'll do it sooner (but I was hoping for more brainstorming of some cool ideas). I also think we could still choose to do the Star Wars: Return of the Blues regardless of what Vancouver is doing.

I'm just impatient is all, slow work week.

But I agree, screw em. They won't be the same regardless, so it's not like we'll get mixed up.

In the mean time...

Could always do things trap related.... someone in a bear trap, mouse trap... merge the head of a blues player on mouse stuck in a trap... blues players stuck in a trap/cage

food for thought.

This is pretty awesome. Definitely makes the best use of ironic humor, especially on these boards.

Yeah, the trap theme is pretty good too. I think that might be my vote. Depending on who we play, it could be a shark trap, coyote trap. If we play Nashville, It would definitely have to be "how to trap a predator".

Shut Your Trap!

Hide your husbands cuz they trappin everybody out here.
