I don't think so.  "lost my mind" does not adequately convey "I'm out of 
stoage for callbacks, so I'm revoking some".

I have to agree with Steve here; these names may never be seen by end 
users, but they will be seen by developers and by admins trying to 
troubleshoot problems.  I'd rather see names that are boring but actually 
descriptive than have cutsey names and be scratching my head 10 years from 
now thinking "WTF does the server mean it lost its mind?".
