==Alternate Names==

B&amp;B has played under a handful of different names in the past.  Typically, when B&amp;B plays as two separate teams, it plays as <strong>Blood</strong> and <strong>Bones</strong>.  However, for [[Bang_1|BANG 1]], B&amp;B played as <strong>Mudbloods</strong> and <strong>Blood Lite</strong>, while for [[Bang_5|BANG 5]], B&amp;B played as <strong>Blood</strong> and <strong>Mothra's Minions</strong>.

In other cases, B&amp;B has teamed up with non-B&amp;B individuals and taken on different names.  For [[Bang_10|BANG 10]], B&amp;B teamed up with Justin Graham of [[Bad Hair Day]] and played as <strong>Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition</strong>.  For [[Bang_15|BANG 15]], B&amp;B teamed up with Bob Schaffer of [[Team Longshots]] and played as <strong>Blood &amp; Bob</strong>.

Another example of a non-standard team name was for [[Bang_12|BANG 12]], when B&amp;B played as the <strong>Burninatees</strong> in homage to the newly recent dominance of the [[Burninators]].  Finally, B&amp;B teamed up with [[Bad Hair Day]] in hosting [[Bang_6|BANG 6]] as <strong>Bloodied by Science</strong>.

Since [[Bang_18|BANG 18]], B&amp;B has played in a self-enforced "drinking division" in which each member of the team drinks a shot of alcohol or equivalent after each clue.  The team adopted the alternate name <strong>Blood &amp; Booze</strong> starting with [[Bang_21|BANG 21]] for use when playing in the drinking division.
