Why the name Carnage Blender? Where'd you get it from? Any background information on the development of the name?

Chapter I

Once upon a time, a man named Jonathan went to Sears. At this Sears, there was a wonderful blender, a magical blender almost. Almost. Well, Jonathan bought this blender, on sale, and for a good price, took it home in order to love it and care for it. He used the blender many a time. And during each use, Jonathan gave it the love and care that any good blender deserved. But one day, Jonathan and his friend were throwing a nerf football around the house, and accidentally threw the nerf into the blender. Now Jonathan's friend was a great klutz, and when trying to retrieve the nerf, he turned on the blender! The nerf got spewed and churned and thrown all around the room. From that day on, Jonathan called the blender the Carnage Blender.

I love it, scy! That's some good "origin" fan-fiction!

I could have sworn the answer to this question was posted somewhere. :-|

Care to find it for the old around here, Slayer? ;)

Admin{CB1}Slayer333 [SHIELD] July 6 2007 12:51 AM EDT

I tried. I failed. I'll try again tomorrow :)

Brainstorming with Grant. He hit on something Blender, and I said Carnage Blender would be better.

Something like that.

Oh, really? I thought it was a reference to Hitch Hikers Guide..

The name of the game came from one sentence said, awesome :P

I always liked to assume that Jon took the word 'carnage' and then flipped randomly to a page in the dictionary and took the first word he looked at that made even a little sense.

Since I say that I will attempt it.

CB is now known as Carnage Investment. A little ironic.

But seriously, I didn't make that up, I turned to 'investment'. But for who, Jon or the players? =)
