Our name was going to be "Drop" -- something to do with Madonna dropping a baby, I think; I never asked -- but this is when every band in San Diego had a one-word name, so we went with "Ten Ton Pug" instead. Then every band in San Diego had a three-word name, and we were hosed.
Our singer had photocopied a movie poster for Attack of the 50 Foot Woman and superimposed a photo of a pug onto it. He was slick that way, and I used to run his artwork in the zine I published back then.
So, the 50 Foot Woman's pug weighed, you guessed it, ten tons. I think technically he was her "Wonderpug Snookie," ...
