Just did my most odd board-labeling job to date...

What's yours?

Hey, when you have a console that doesn't include an LED scribble strip, you do what you gotta do.

Actually, I was receding to WHAT I was labeling the channels as... Teeth, gravel, etc.

Hey, I know what cans are.

A pair of headphones laid in the kick drum as a microphone?

On a one-off, the 3 background singers were "Cleav", "Eyes", and "Booty". Was going to use "Tits" and "Ass" but thought better of it.
Even from 75' away, "Eyes" was just stunning. It wasn't just the makeup.

Opening ceremony for a construction conference.  On this particular one, channels 17-32 were labeled as such...

Bin Kick (big garbage bin)
Bin Tom (garbage bin with floor tom mounted in it)
Buckets L/R (rack full of plastic buckets)
Cans L/R (rack full of steel garbage cans)
Teeth L/R (spare cast-iron teeth for back-hoe shovels)
Pipes (bent radiator hoses at different lengths)
Tire (big rubber tire with a floor tom hung in the middle of it)
Gravel (bin of gravel for a shovel to make noise with)
Shovel (1700-pound back-hoe shovel and rubber mallet)
Water 1/2/3/4 (floor toms topped off with water)

Needless to say, after day 3, Advil was my very best friend (especially with them banging on those cast-iron teeth with hammers).

Back when I had a house gig I'd pretty much run everything the same every night so I'd label stuff:

Hate
Kill
Destroy
Murder
Blood
Guts


Or whatever. Then some nights it would be

Harpsichord
Glockenspiel
Nyckelharpa
Triangle
Keytar
Sousaphone
Contrabassoon

If a BE didn't let me know before hand that he was mixing a band I'd have to relabel otherwise he'd be lost.

Side note we used to keep the board tape from nationals on the wall by FOH for some reason and if a band came back I'd put their tape back on the board and see if the BE noticed (assuming the same BE of course).

Well if this doesn't deserve it's own "What's the best mic for cast iron teeth for back-hoe shovels?" thread, I don't know what does!

Shure PG81 on the teeth (may not be the best, but worked particularly well and sounded great, especially since they would most likely get wet from the water toms and I didn't want to ruin anything nicer... They survived)

Shure SM57 on the back-hoe shovel (not a lot of useful low end in the shovel surprisingly, but had an awesome mid-low gong-like "clang" to it)
