Apterous is down again, so how about something (slightly) different.
Proper noun conundrum game.
I'll start with one, and the first person to get it gives a new one, and so on. Any Length and with spaces if you want.

I don't know the answer, but in the spirit of Touchdown, it's one letter away from either Toni Basil or Lisa Bonet.

Hmm. Finding it very difficult to get past 'buggery' and I don't see buggery as being a seasonal thing.

^ Try buggery in the winter and you'll soon realise that it is a seasonal thing.

When it's freezing cold and wet in the middle of winter have you never said, "I'm buggered if I'm going out there in this weather"?

In my limited experience it would be 'I'm going to get buggered unless I go out there in this weather'.

FFS. It's got nothing to do with buggery.
The manufacturers of this product regularly challenge the public over how they utilise this particular item. I'm unsure if they have done any thorough statistical analysis though.
There, that should make it really easy now.

That doesn't actually differentiate it from the KRASS DINOS CUNT SCANDAL though, which I think claimed 20,380 victims in total.

It's a tough one, I'll give you that. I thought it was Santa Cristina de Caldesinos for a minute, but not quite.
It has some great anagrams, though:
classics did stun anorak
slick cats and dinosaurs
and discussions lack art
sick unsocial standards
sadist cocks and urinals
etc.
