But I think "Left-handed Sugar" would be a great name for a rock group.

In re. Dave Barry- That may be the part of his column to which I have the greatest affinity. I'd been making up names for rock groups for years, maybe to compensate for my total lack of musical ability, and then started reading his column and found out he had the same obsession. I think my most promising one so far is "Brain Chemistry Rollercoaster", which originates in a remark I made once about my state of mind.

Then there was the time I was lying on the gurney in the ER writhing in pain with my back all tied up into knots and this petite young thang comes by pushing her little cart full of vials and needles and on her sweat shirt is embroidered the legend "Brain Eraser".

It's a rollercoaster at a local amusement park

I've been to that state! Didn't get the t-shirt, though.

Wasn't that what killed off lots of Tribbles? The wheat they were gorging themselves on was left-handed rather than right-handed and so they starved to death.

So that was the trouble with Tribbles? I've always thought that lefties were a rum bunch, but the thought that they could have been responsible for killing those cute Tribbles is horrifying.
