Unfortunately can't get other things I associate with Drench into a title because of -rules-
I HATE YOU SO MUCH PLEASE GO JUMP INTO A FREEZING LAKE - Mr. Freeze
And this was like me realizing that you were a serial killer. - Hathor

I think mish-mash based titles are perfectly fine; mish-mash is a significant part of the site and a lot of people post there almost exclusively.
This specific case just seemed like everyone had all the pieces for making a title but were struggling to come up with one. A lot of people who know Drench better are supporting one if the suggestions now so I guess that one works better than it seemed at first.
I thought more about my concerns with the possible Drench title (as expressed here). I do think the crucial Waukesha reference loses some of its flair as a title rather than a location, but it's strong enough that it shouldn't ever become just a location reference, even if his location were to change. Other concerns about the title (forced/inaccessible) have been heard, but I disagree with them.
I'll leave 24 hours mostly just as a formality in case anyone wants to nominate Drench for something else, but
OTHER THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING IN THIS THREAD BUT HAVE NOT BEEN HAPPENING IN THE LAST PAGE OR SO:
-Elbirn was being nommed for titles related to
quality assurance
. I would not have approved any of the nominations that were proposed so far, but let's not forget about Elbirn just because we remembered Drench!
-I guess I never explicitly said this but
Gives a Duck
for the worst received enough of the negative feedback I was looking for to not be willing to approve it. I tried to think of other duck-related title directions that would make sense and came up blank, but maybe someone more clever or witty has an idea they think would work?
