Okay, it’s not like you really wanted a tapeworm to begin with. But after reading this horrifying (humorous) account of “the worm within” describing what it is like to have one, you will surely feel all squirmy inside.

How about the Wizards?
I’m not against clever names, such as the Fort Wayne Mad Ants based on “Mad” Anthony Wayne for which the city is named. That is clever because it also makes sense. But Tin Caps? TIN CAPS??
And by the way, when I hear “Tin Cap” I don’t think of Johnny Appleseed. I think of this guy:
