If you were in charge of SG or a similar site, what would you call it?

I read in the Feminist Group that someone supposed the site's name comes from the fact that you wanna kill yourself over the models, they're so good-looking! That's the first sorta legit idea I've heard. Some folks said it was a Palahniuk refence, but it isn't... I know one of the people in charge has said so...

Jeez, why am I bothering to tell you all? You probably all read that ages ago... and there's probably a dozen Threads explaining the name (that I have never seen).

I'm not saying, "Ooh, you shouldn't say 'suicide' because it's irresponsible!" I was looking at a book on the Dadaists at work, Breton and that crew. They put out some questionnaire about suicide, something like, "What would be some good reasons to kill yourself?" or maybe it was something simpler, like "What do you think about suicide?" and this poet wrote back to 'em, "If anyone dies after reading this it will be your fault!" and they just wrote back that he was an idiot...

I just think it's a little negative is all....

Anyway I have this song on Winamp (I knew there was a reason I was thinking about playing Graham Parker all day! It was leading up to this rant) and I was thinking I would call the site:

Local Girls

cuz it's a cool-ass, loose Parker jam, although that might be seen as ripping off the "Neighborhood Girls" videos, as plugged in The Probe zine ages ago (yes, I did buy some. They were pretty cool. "Jesika" is the fucking raddest girl I've ever seen)... but I guess I was wondering if anyone else idly thought about this crap. No big whoop.
