Judging by the popularity of this thread, it looks like people want an \'official\' nickname for their Breakfast fandom...

What do you think we should be called? Please vote and comment.

Just added my vote for Brekkies. Wouldn\'t that be a scream if we ended up with an English name?!!!!!

Brekkies is too much like Trekkies.... anything with an "ies" on the end is too sissy IMO.  I vote for the Wild Pack...

It can\'t be "serheads" becasue if your not in the "loop", you have no frecian clue what "ser" means

so? lots of group names are based on that. Need we forget Dee sniders senate hearing on the PCRMS back in 84\'??

Gore: Mr. Snider, what is the SFM\'s?
Snider: Its a fan club for the band.
Gore: and does it stand for something?
Snider: Yes, it does.
Gore: And what does SMF\'s stand for?
Snider: The fan club name is an abriveation of the phrase \'sick mother fuckers\', mr. Chairman


:P

True, but a good group name is something everyone knows about (i.e. phishheads, moe.rons) not just a select few.

But that\'s just my opinion, and Dee sux

weekapaug, my thinking is along the same lines.. \'brekkies\' has a nice ring to it, and it\'s directly associated with the band (like phishheads, deadheads, radioheadheads :hscratch:, etc..).. my problem with serheads is not only that you need to crack a code to figure out what it means, but that if you see it, you\'re gonna mispronounce it until someone tells you how to say it right, by which point you say, \'that\'s stupid\'. :)

same gist with WPOA... unless you really know the songs, no average joe is gonna know what it means... and what exactly is the singular of WPOA? i\'m a brekkie = i\'m a wild asscrack?! :jawdrop:

these are the things we need to consider in the long-term...

SER is very simple.  Just SERIOUS but shortened.  Coined by the legendary WAH, it is distinctively Staven and completely BREAKFAST.....

I will never be anything but a SERHEAD as far as I am concerned
