So at our last dinner meeting, somehow even with screaming kids, signing birthday songs, loud drunk out of town girls and ever so distracting cute waiters, someone somehow came up with the idea of Motel inspired Playa names. Here's what I can remember, please help add:

Dima = ?
T.I. John = ?
Mark B. = Spork
Chris M. = -I--c-e- -B-u-c-k-e-t- Powder Puff
Brian = Razzle
Unused:
Magic Fingers

Stained Mattress
Showtime
Cinemax
Room service

Oh god there were lots more, I just can't remember, please help!

I don't like most of them (too many syllables), but Neon, Showtime, Breakfast, Checkout, and Mattress are good playa names.

Would "Vacant" work better than "Vacancy". One less syllable and sounds, well I don't know if 'better' is the word, to say "Hello, I am Vacant." Could lead to an existential rant. Gods only know where "I am Vacancy" might lead. We should keep adding as many as we can so we can prune out the ones that don't work. Maybe we should make little nametags?

I thought one-star ended up being funny because it's ironic... at first it seems diva-like, as in "DJ One Star" but once you know about the motel theme it's actually self-deprecating...
