I hope not.

1.  The product would spike in calcium.

2.  We don't have a machine named that.  I wish we did.  We DO have some giant ball mills that ARE horrible grinders, but he's too fat to fit in.

3.  Paperwork.  Oh, dear God, the paperwork.

If I ever get good enough to play in a metal band, that's what I want the name to be.

Well, it would be a good name for a grindcore band as well, if that helps.  

ETA:  Though I'm sure you would do quite well in a metal band.

Considering the kind of metal I'd want to play, my double kick skillz are weaksauce.

 :lulz: Other than kilns and vats, I have no idea what kinds of machines you have there, so I just made one up that sounded like the kind of thing you would have. In my imagination, your plant is full of nightmare machines, machines with teeth and whirly bits and rotary razorblade assemblies and jets of gaseous acid.

I think it would be a good name for a genre.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.
