Now that the WS members from Toronto have had their first major offline, perhaps it is time for their group to get a name.

My suggestions:

~Mounted Winos
~Ontariophiles
~The Friendly Wine Drinkers With Socialized Medicine
~The Grape White North

I'm sure their are some other suggestions.

VM

You need to get a more demanding job VM!

(I like the last one best....)

snow sucks, cold is worse.......

Is "The Toronto Wine Mafia" taken?

The first one sounds kinda kinky but, hey, if the shoe fits....



but, borrowing from some of VM's classic choices, I'd add:

Toron-toniphiles
Nanook of the North And His Roly-Poly Jug Band

Wow, does that sound stupid, or what?

"This wine should be eaten, it is too good to be drunk."
Jonathan Swift

How about the Toronto Drabtors?

I can hardly wait to buy one of your jerseys!

Cheers.

Perhaps the most appropriate name would be the Ontario Whiners, since we all seem to enjoy dissing our provincial booze monopoly.

Hey, their flag already has a nice grape leaf on it!

DBW

The Ice Winos or The Iced Winos.

It's damn cold up here!

How about "The 51st state wine crew"?

You can call us the 51st state crew if we can call you the 11th through 60th province crews.

HogTown Swillers

Toronto Ice Whiners or the Bay Street Ice Whiners.



I offer sound advice.
That's 99% sound and 1% advice

I thought they were still a territory? When did Canada become a State? Is Guam a State now too?



Wine Hosers

I just found Bob and Doug on vinyl at a thrift store, so it's on my mind.

Santa Cruz Mountains Vintage Chart

How about:

The Corked Canuks? (tongue in cheek)

LJ

"Drink up, me hardies, YO HO!"

Parkside Church

Griffin House

Maybe a picture of the crew would help in deciding the name.

Ok, here goes. How about the "GTA Juiceheads"?

The "Vintarians"

If you were to base it on a photograph, we'd likely be the "Well Hung Swirlers".

No offense intended here, but you could take your name from one of my favorite streets in the city and call yourselves:

The Dundasses

Just one more sip.

The Miami Crew has one called "Pour Que?"

Why don't we call them

TCA

(The Canadian Army)

Hee Hee.

DBW

We can nickname them the


'Taints

DBW

PS - Since I spent the entire SARS episode in Toronto last year, I want an honorary slot.

Yup, we're right up there with DC, Puerto Rico and Guam!

Board-O: continuing with the theme, they could be the Yonge at Heart or the Wine and Spadiners!

tlily: that album is more valuable than it seems, to Rush fans at least, because of Geddy Lee's rendition of "Take Off to the Great White North". Mine is carefully stored along with my Masked Marauders album...

The Toronto Teetotalers

Why don't we just call them what they are-
" THE DRUNKEN CANUCKS!"
As a tribute to the many Frank Zappa fans on this board you guys could have your own theme song. "Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow!" Its not likely someone spilled their Y'Quem on a snowdrift. Drink more in '04!

"...soon they'll be bleary eyed under a keg of wine, Down where the drunkards roll." Richard Thompson.
