Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

Your guide to yes and no when it comes to Jerry "Kill" puns
Posted by: Michael Rand under College football Updated: December 6, 2010 - 2:33 PM
Here, then, is our guide to effectively using Jerry Kill's last name cleverly -- and not overusing it with things that are unfunny, don't make sense, or make us want to strangle you. We will provide no context as to why. These things should just be instinctive:
THINGS WE ACCEPT
*Calling TCF Bank Stadium, "The Killing Field."
*Creating a special Jerry Kill "fatality," a la Mortal Kombat, that features him wearing a "Kill" t-shirt and chopping off the head of a fictional badger with an axe at the end of Gophers victories over Wisconsin.
THINGS WE DON'T ACCEPT
Everything else. That includes "A Time To Kill," "Killing Me Softly," "kill shot," etc.
You can use the comments to persuade us to add to the first list.
