HELP! Corporate Bowling Team Name

1ddqd1ddqd Registered User regular
edited May 2010 in Help / Advice Forum
Guys, my company has started ...a bowling league. It's a loose term, but defines 16 teams of various departments. Most of the names for teams have been relatively cheesy, but one stuck out to me: "Split Happens."

Since we're voting on names between our members, I wanted to come up with something special (except I can't). That's where you guys come in! Please, Penny Arcade, help me name this team!

    What kind of work do you do?

    A bowling pun on your department work would be good.

    Well turns out my team is a bunch of pansies. They voted "Pin Pals" which, while on the list, is by far the weakest of the "risque" ones on the list (I was gunning for Bowl Movement). "I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter" was already taken :(
