Another Meeting

I guess my ideal target audience for this one is metal fans who know the definition of the word “portmanteau.”  But if there’s any group of readers likely to contain at least a small sampling of such a demographic, it’s probably you guys.  And hopefully those who don’t catch all the album names will still get the gist.

Bonus points to anyone who can pinpoint exactly where the segue from cataclysm to metal albums begins, extra bonus points to anyone who can name the artists of the  referenced album titles, and of course super bonus points to anyone who can come up with better ones.

A couple of the Snow-related catastrophe names were suggested by Rand Bellavia (of Ookla the Mok.)

Feeling like crap tonight.  Not sure if it’s allergies or a cold, but I’m going to bed.  Hope you’re all healthy and devoid of unnecessary mucus!

  1. IceDrake

    I fit your target demographic!

  2. ColdFusion

    I’m in that demo too, though I should hope anyone could get what portmanteau means from context.
    Hmm…. does it have to start with ’snow’? can it be like ‘Bleepin Blizzards’?

  3. cz

    I am also in the target demographic!

  4. Dale

    Blizzard of Ozz – neh too easy
    Sno No Mercy – worse
    Seasons in the Snow
    Screaming for Snowplows
    Drifts to the Wall
    HIghway to Florida
    Number of the Snowflakes??

  5. shoebox

    “Sno No Mercy” is both painful and glorious.

    Wake me when we get to “Snowway to Heaven”.

    Best news headline ever. News Networks, you want to use this one, give me a call.

  8. rybolov

    In DC a couple of years ago, we used “Snowly Fuck!”.

  9. James Iry

    Enter Snowman
    Deth Red Snowbaoth
    Snow More Tears
    Open Up and Snow….Ahh!

  10. Roborat

    I would love to see some TV station use “snowgasm”.

  11. Mr Ak

    Actually, I believe the headline should be “make it snow number one.” #ewwww

  12. kaszeta

    I’ve seen “Snowtastrophe” used by the local media.

  13. XonImmortal

    Well, Snow-narok hasn’t been used yet.

    I would like to see an apoleptic weatherman screaming “Shovel for your li-i-i-ives!”
    Followed by the firing squad.

  14. DJ Mindermast

    Another target demo person here. Let’s see what I’ve got… (and yes, awkward wording is intentional)

    …And Road Ice For All
    Ride the Blizzard
    Snowstorms Are Our Business, and Business is Good
    Brave Snow World
    In-A-Gadda-Da-Blizzard
    Snowy Diver

  15. the Fool

    Snooow many bonus points for In-A-Gadda-Da-Blizzard

    How about:

    Snowfall in middle earth
    Snoromania
    diary of a snowman
    Snowkiller
    Operation Mindsnow
    countdown to extsnotion (though all i can think of is the snot in the middle)

    and if you really wanna take the gloves off, Snow Warning by Ben Hailen

  16. shoebox

    “Snowfall in Middle Earth” is beautiful.

    -=’Box=-

  17. Mike

    “The Ballad of Dr. Snow”
    “Don’t snow the Reaper” or “Don’t fear the Snowper”
    “Carry on Wayward Snow”
    “More Snow than Snow”
    “The Final Snowdown”
    “Should I Stay or Should I Snow”
    “School’s Out” oh wait…

  18. hbar

    An Informer told me to expect 12 Inches of Snow.

  19. Muely Bob

    hbar, I’m not saying there is no place for white Canadian rapper jokes, because there is, there totally is, but to slip it in among the heavy metal song title puns is a fail.

  20. hbar

    Now hang on just one cotton pickin minute. Snow was Canadian?

  21. Stormothecentury

    This reminds me of the time I told someone they should name their cat Dr. Meowngele.
