I proposed "Blamm!" (nominally Bard Lang and Meyers Marshall).

Support this or counter-propose!

I second the motion!

How about a TLA like "Tractor Shear Inference" or TSI?

Or a TLA that is just three random letters like QQM, not standing for anything?

Or how about a piece of farm machinery like something listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_agricultural_machinery

Or how about "Farm Machinery"?

I see "shape sorter" and "shear grab" on the farm machinery list :)

I like the agricultural theme, and am an OAP (opposes acronyms on principle).

Since we are harvesting point sources and elongated galaxies, how about something involving Peas and Carrots?

I'm still keen on The Wurzels. They're tractor themed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb63PdPweDc

Unnamed Great3 Group, UGG?

There's a Wurzels joke around 3:40 during the Now Show: http://broiler.astrometry.net/~dstn/temp/nowshow.mp3 Enjoy.
