It's OK, they are all geeks so they each try it in turn and decide it's cool to faceplant with a backpack on.

The first original song by Rock Monocle is "Faceplant Backpack".

I wish I could give you more than +1 for "Rock Monocle" - genius. That is now my second favorite band name of all time.

Will you not tell us your number one favorite band name?
My kids came up with "Peeing Won-ton" and "Itchy Nipple".
I doubt you can top those, but you may try.

Wait! I have a good one I just made up! "Bad-ass Back-pack"

Try it out: Pretend you have a microphone (a hair brush will do) and you are a DJ from the local cheesy classic rock radio station. Now yell into your hairbrush: "_(Your town here)_... PLEASE WELCOME.... FROM NEW YORK CITY.... THE FABULOUS.... BAD... ASS... BACKPACK!!!!" Now make crowd noises in the back of your throat.

Your first two suggestions are, indded, unique - but I'd never name a band that. My #1 comes from one of my childhood friends: "Little Timmy's Skateboard". Granted, it doesn't have the shock value of your suggestions, but I think it has a certain ring to it.

Especially since we didn't even know anyone named Tim, and no one from my home town was a skater.

Steve is oblivious to the fact that backpacks are sentient creatures and will get angry when you run. They also have the power to cause you to trip conspicuously.

They had a shot, they really did. But then the cockatoo decided he'd be better off going solo. Rock Monocle ended up playing country fairs, and Jerkoff ended up sad and alone in a hotel room...

The red lights flashing through his window as he reflected on the jagged, angry hole in his heart from when mama up and left one fine spring day... The drugs all that numb the pain anymore...

This is why you should always avoid the lead guitarist. They can give you diseases you've never heard of.

Lead poisoning is possibly the worst. It causes to extreme arrogance and violent mood swings. It's possible to recover if caught before the solo career; otherwise it kills the person's music career forever.

Yup, he even sliced his knee in the process. That's why he grabbed it and started rolling back and forth on the ground in pain. In fact, if Mr. Owl hadn't helped him get to the hospital, he may have ended up rocking and rolling all night.

True Story: There was a guy named Jazzy McJazz who needed a new guy for his trio in Paris, France. A guy flew to Paris for the interview. Jazzy told the guy "In the next two days you must get a girlfriend, a car, an apartment and look cool running in a backpack." 3 out of 4 was not good enough.

I can run full speed with my school backpack with no awkward trips, falls, or spills, but it still swings back and forth in such a way to make me look like a dork. I haven't tried it with sunglasses on, though. They usually make me look cooler, but this may be a special case.

If the backpack is full/heavy enough so it can't bounce up and down you don't become uncool.
If it's empty its the worst.
Other than it being open and all your stuff flying out of course.

Foolish, Steve. You should have stuffed it with binders first, so it would be more firm and less prone to the contents wobbling and flinging the zipper open.

Of course, no one looks cool with a giant block bouncing up and down on their back either, so he still would have failed, but at least then he wouldn't have fallen down or lost the contents.

I was racing my friend to his dorm, and he almost beat me there, so i started sprinting near the end stealthily, so he wouldnt see me. Unfortunately, I had a backpack on, and he saw me and beat me to his door. Stupid backpack.

I had a race like that, but I was slightly luckier. He went around wide left to the base of the stairs, but I was able to vault over the guardrail and that cut some distance. It was difficult and slightly dangerous since my backpack was fairly heavy that day, but the "WTF?!" look on his face was priceless.

Unfortunately, the guardrail was slick with rain, so the paper in my hands got completely soaked. Important paper, too.
