Do they pay Anthony Burgess for the rights to their band name?

How can you forget McBari's! They only have fresh spoo, but the flarn is out of this world.
Growing up, we had a game called "fight the tide" where we would build sand castles in the intertidal zone with a stick in the peak of the castle. Last stick standing wins a chocolate bar.
Ebb is the state of the tide going out, Flow is coming in.
Intertidal is an interesting thought, but isn't it already taken by the area that is covered by high tide and exposed at low.
I was wondering about the point where it is halfway between high and low, whether it is ebbing or flowing. Slack is more the high or low point where it switches from ebbing to flowing.
Isn't that more like Slack-tide when a high or low tide turns and becomes still (Stau like traffic?)
Never liked the way half-tide sounded, I think I'm liking Mean-Tide, or Median-Tide if I'm feeling fancy.
I think you're right about slack and stand, and ebb and flood would work but it's usually just a glimpse when I drive over a bridge that makes me think about it, so I don't know which way it's going.
There are two pieces left!
Sorry, just enough for breakfast.
