Marathon Team Name Contest!!!

Bataan Memorial Death March-- Team Name!!! I'm running with 4 guys-- that means little creativity and care into a team name (more of a girl thing). So I'm looking for YOUR help...

In March I'll be running the Bataan Memorial Death March with a team of 5 and I'm looking for a creative, witty, fun team name. Whoever submits the best name wins-- What do you win, you ask? A big Cyber High-Five!!!! You KNOW you want one!!! I'll pick the top 3 names and put them in a poll for voting.

Details:
Race: Bataan Memorial Death March  at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico
Date: March 21, 2010
Team: 5 People, 4 Guys and 1 Gal (me)
Geography: 3 people from Cincinnati OH (Flying Pigs), 1 person from Albany NY (ARE- Albany Running Exchang) and 1 more from FL or MT (TBD).
Running History: All people involved have run 10+ marathons but we are not ALL maniacs or 50-staters.
Race Background: "The Bataan Memorial Death March honors a special group of World War II heroes. These brave soldiers were responsible for the defense of the islands of Luzon, Corregidor and the harbor defense forts of the Philippines." (From the race website) This is a race soaked in military history. Also, the team must run together... must finish within 20 seconds of one another.

Suggestions So Far:
1. "Beauty and the Geeks" - John K. (Team member)
2. "Desert Lemmings" - John K.
3. "Flying Piggies & Friends" -Me (not so great)
4. "Run 4 Therapy"
5. "Marathons R US"/"Marathon Junkies"
... Let's hear what you have!!!


The Team...
