Blog: The Classic Rock Office’s New Favourite Game
Come in and play the game that’s taking the Classic Rock office by storm!
Recently the Washington Post’s Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting or changing only ONE letter, and supply a new definition.
Among the winners were:
Ignoranus: A person who is both stupid and an asshole.
Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
The classic rock team have been doing the same with bands and musicians and here’s what we’ve come up with:
Ronnie James Dior: Heavy metal singer who dresses fashionably and always smells fragrant.
Fleetwood Mack: Band that is able to continue playing outdoor shows even in heavy rain.
Jimmy Pager: Guitarist you send a message to who will then call you back (so you use his phone bill instead of yours – very useful when you’re on tour overseas).
Gums N’ Roses: Toothless band that takes 15 years to record an album.
Do you think you can do any better?
The Shite Stripes: Because the joke is about as original as the band…
