Ok.  Tired but too early for bed.  Borderline bored.  Here's a light trivial question:

What is your favorite name for a group/meeting?  In your area and/or elsewhere?

Saturday Night special, Hogan's Heros, No Excuses (they offer childcare), Psycho Sisters, Mantua Fun Group, Firehouse Mens.

Here in N Atlanta it seems that most of the meetings have AA related names, but most people don't remember them and the groups are just commonly refered to by the road, building or city and day. Like my homegroup is named "Cornerstone Group", but every calls is "Ben King Wednsday" refering to the day and the road.

Firehouse Mens group was in Ohio at a Fire-station, all the men refered to each other as "Firehouse Joe", Mike, Peter etc it was a little crazy.

The first meeting I ever went to was named "Sober, Gay, and Proud." I thought that was incredibly cheezy at the time but I was only 1 of those things at that time and now I am all 3...does not seem cheezy any more.

Locally we have a group "The No Fluff group" (like no BS group). Bunch of nazis up in there. I suggested a picture of Bill W. with the little moustache

my photo shop skills are lacking, use your imagination.

Thank you everyone, this has been fun.  There's such variety.

Common Spirit, I like this one and it's my current home group, very sweet.  

Out of those posted, I like "No Reservations".

Locally there is "Port Townsend Liberation Front".  This name has a scariness to it and sounds political but it gives me a laugh.
