Should FC Dog UK have an umlaut?

[Dirty Bristow]

My argument against is threefold:

1. None of us are Vikings, Nordic or Germanic and I'm sure I once heard Mucous utter the words "Two world wars and one world cup!" under his breath when he thought no-one was listening
2. I'm fairly sure that we could be sued under trade desciption legislation for giving the impression that collectively we are bold and/or strong
3. We've messed about with the name sufficiently for the time being

[muddycoffee]

1) None of you are "pure breed vikings" however Mucous is pretty handy racing a gokart and Nailbag is the proud owner of a full motorcycle license and a helmet to go with it.
2) DB you are no stranger to diacritics yourself and nobody is likely to sue you because they can't be bothered.
Putting a heavy metal umlout on your first vowel, leaves the perfect impression of a sonic assult which a member of the crowd is likely to be assailed by and they would be right because that is what they are gonna get.
3) You are not messing about with the name you are just specifying how the existing letters should be pronounced.
5) Mucous would look like a viking if he grew his beard and put some more meat on his bones.

I agree with this. It almost gives the title of FcDog a pair of top bollocks, refered to in this case as the fc dog's bollocks.

We need the dots,dude

Everybody has heard of bands like Blue Öyster Cult, Motörhead, Mötley Crüe and Queensrÿche.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Kneel as though you knelt before Odin himself at the boots of black/thrash/spaz metal genius bands such as Infernäl Mäjesty, Deströyer 666, Mütiilation, Assück, Cünt Brigade (I kid you not), Stāte of Feär, Blöödhag, BLOÜD WÜLF (sic), Insidiöus Törment, Hölöcäust (who released a single called "Heavy Metal Mania) and Voïvod (who – bless their little chainmail socks - released an album called RRRÖÖÖAAARRR)

It would be RUDE not to continue this hilarious tradition of completely unecessary umlautery.

And for the punks, there's always Leftöver Crack

So I vote yes. Slap the unlaut over your name (Maybe you should even do a Spinal Tap and put it over a consonant?), stop shaving, and be proudly pointed at and laughed at all the way to Valhalla. And perhaps you should check out this website.

Define spaz metal?

[muddycoffee]

Maybe it's heavy metal which is played in space.
I think I will ring NASA tomorrow and ask them.

They have a shop in woodseats, but it closes at 5.30pm

[Dirty Bristow]

anyasbunny: great name; are you a Buffy fan by any chance?

And I am so putting a "flanged battle mace" on my wish-list, purely for use as a stage prop, obviously.

[bish]

Do NASA have an umlaut? Or is it a space shuttle?
Spaz metal, whatever happened to Camp Nordic Metal,which I believe to be a more accurate description of the Dogs sonic output.
Anyone aware of Robert Evans work as a hollywood mogul and his subsequent biopic?

I went to the NASA shop on woodseats but didn't get the answer I wanted. It turns out that NASA and NISA are different concerns, although I know where to get extremely cheap crisps from now. Dog Bless jack fulton, as the say in the local punk chapel.

I have decided to change my name by deed poll from Matthew to Mätthew.
;D

Matt.
(Well, it's Mätt now really I suppose)

[fcdmistress]

4 people have voted lol is that all? How many members are there? There's only one of me.... although the mirror showed 3 last night, and one of them told me to take off my make up. Although, I suppose it could have been more, but I could only focus on one. Focus? Well, I wouldn't go that far!

As for the unlaut, I say do it. You gotta have SOMETHING for everyone to remember!!

I know what you mean, after the Czech Republic I briefly added a sideways ) to mine making me

Števe which would be pronounced Shteeve

What about ƒ¢ Đöğ ǕЖ ?

Too much?

[muddycoffee]

There is quite clearly a number of board members who find this thread about grammar and diacritical accents a little high faluted. I would like them to vote yes immediately as it is the right thing to do, and to vote no is extremely lame.

Vote YES that's an imperitive.

[duriechstsogut]

Four almighty votes for yes to one desperately inadequate and misinformed no.

I think that's what's known as a landslide.

FC Dög ÜK it is.
See you down at the front!
METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!

Mätt

[muddycoffee]

Vote now for umlaut.
You know it makes sense really this poll should be 10 to 1 not 4 to 1

vote now

now

please....

I have been thinking for a while that cyrillic script might be even more metal.

1) unadorned roman letters - result = gay band
2) umlouts over vowels - better flow in a piss party
3) slavic accents above consonants - death metal chancers
4) chinese symbols - 70s style band like the vapors, tribute to kung foo aftershave
5) arabic writing - nobody would understand it
6) cyrillic letters - they look enough like roman letters that they can be understood, but strange and dark enough to be more extreme and heavier than any otherband in the history of sheffield...

[Dirty Bristow]

Work us up a logo matey.

[whatsgoingon]

Definitely!

I'll have pepperoni and mushrooms in mine please. Ta.

[Dirty Bristow]

mmmm, my favourite!

[toe]

What's the word for that o with a slash through it that you get in some Scandinavian languages? The logo should definitely have one of them!
