    Which heavy metal band were said to have taken their name from an anagram scribbled on a beer-mat?

    Question #55109. Asked by gmackematix. (Feb 13 05 12:16 AM)

    		"Blue Öyster Cult" is an anagram of "Cully Stout Beer" which could plausibly have been got from a beer-mat (Sandy Pearlman is said to have come up with the name in a bar). Quite where the gratuitous umlaut came from is anybody's guess, though...

    		Yay, Dave! Wasn't the Blue Oyster a gay bar in one of those awful "Police Academy" outings?
