I went to the Barnes & Noble on Fifth Avenue and bought a copy of "Infinite Jest." I suffered a great deal in the process. The writing was dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character went for a "post-prandial stroll." I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times.

Yeah but you also can collect a few thousand good band name ideas from phrases like "the howling fantods".
