Bloods, Crips, Mara Salvatrucha, and . . . ?

I've been romanticizing gang life lately and I can't get that song "I'm not ready to make nice" out of my head. I don't know how the song goes exactly, but I definitely know that part where it goes, "I'm not ready to make nice." You try it. It's like, "I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to make nice." You know the one. It's by the Dixie Chicks. They're kinda hott, I guess. They're the ones who saw lots of fans/corporations become disappointed after the outspoken band leader dissed Texas and the president on stage. As they say in show business: it's all about timing. If you're going to diss Texas and the president, do it when everyone else is doing it. Or pray about it afterwards, I suppose. That's the thing. You try it.

Anywho, this posty is about gang life and me needing a gang name for my future street gang I wish to somehow form. I don't know how I'll go about getting a street gang together, but I can ask my neighbor who plays organ at our church. He'd be awesome. My only concern is when it turns hot this summer. He has a heart condition.

My street gang name has to be bad, bad, bad. You know, mean, lean and bad ass. It needs street cred, so all of my potential foes will hear it and know we're very dangerous and intimidating -- basically, a group to be reckoned with. I want them to hear our street-gang name and say, "Shit man. These guys are bad news. We should stay afar from their turf." So far, I've narrowed my gang names down to 25 or so. I'll eventually get it down to three. Here are some of the ones that spoke to me with intimidation and fear. Thanks, Dixie Chicks, for inspiring me! You guys rock!
