    Ladies and Gentlemen:

    I am looking for insight. I, along with one of my friends, are approaching the college here at ISU to start a sponsored writing group. You know, like a meeting once a week and possibly a year end publication. Talks are in the air right now...but what I am asking is for you people to help me think of a good name for our group. I kind of want to give it a "beats generation" feel.

    Here are the names I have so far:

    The new rants

    Awe

    The Feels

    ...so tell me what you think on this...
    Sorry I posted this, but I'm in a bind.

    ok...i don't know what you're really looking for here...are you looking for names for a group or names for a school organization.. cause if its a school organization...w/ open memebership...i think the name should definately represent what the organization stands for.... i think names which seem to look like band names...like many of my suggestiongs--well.. i think none of these would work. a name needs to very solid and not something you're gonna wanna' change in a few months or a year. a solid name can represent a solid organization. so i think few or none of my suggestions would work. i just threw them out for the fun of it. yours may work if that's what you're going for but the only one i would choose would be "Awe"...and i don't know why cause i think it sounds weird. but its still alright. i don't know... i think "Awe" would be good and bad but could end up being really good. if you didn't notice when i was writing my list of names i put "tongue" just above "pen and cheek" as a joke because the actual phrase is "tongue and cheek"... i really don't know what it means but i do think "tongue and cheek" would be a good name.
    i hope you disagree with any or all of this cause its really all up to you and what i write here doesn't matter that much and probably won't influence anything.
    hope i was of some help or no help or at least interesting to read. haha...anyway...
    our poetry club down here is called "KIMET"...as if anyone would care. i don't know what it means and i don't care. but it means something... and that's a start.

    Yes, it is "tongue in cheek". And all it really means is: characterized by insincerity, irony, or whimsical exaggeration.

    Well, of your 3 suggestions for a group of people, I pick The New Rants. I kinda like The Feels, but that sounds like "eels" and that's all I can picture.

    AWE would be good for a publication. So would NEW RANTS or NEW RANT. But then that begs the question: is it new? Or are they the same rants from 40 years ago?
