So. I name stuff. Did anyone know this about me?
Traditionally my computers are all called Halcyon, although I believe one of them was called Silicon. I named all the stuff on my desk at the CIL Lab at one point- even the stapler. At the Service Desk I named the Paper Shredder, George Foreman. Whenever I wanted something shred though, I'd walk up to the student support and make a chomp motion with both of my hands and make a weird nom-nom noise.I ended up with a lot of blank stairs, Riley was always the funniest about it, the confused and 'too stubborn to do it when he understood face' was totally worth it.
My car is named D'Artagnan, I call him Dart for short. There is a little passenger Gorilla that lives in the car cup holder, his name is Avalanche. I have a stuffed floppy dog that I use as a pillow at night, he is Dagger.
I had a little stuffed husky dog named Beta, but he was confiscated from Customers for suspicion smuggling more than just stuffing, unfortunately in proving himself innocent, all of his entrails become his entrails and he has never been heard from or seen again. Last summer I won a large stuffed Husky, to fill the missing space in my heart, his name is Delta.
I've got a stuffed Lion from Build-A-Bear, he has a heart and everything so his name is, Koishii, which means 'beloved' in Japanese.
My most awesome mountain bike is named Sarge, which is funny because the bike is blue and everybody who is anybody knows Sarge is Red....
My most recent X-box was Lopez, My first X-box was named Elsa. I have come to believe that all X-box 360's are diagnosed with cancer before they are sold, all having a limited time to live.
I have a fake bear rug, and I'm quite sure he had a name- but for the life in me, I don't remember it & same with the huge snake that is now escepading in North Dakota with my cousins children... How about.. I make a memory with you- whomever you are. We shall name the Bear Rug and the Snake-thing together! Firstly the Bear..
How about, Blackie.. he's a black bear!.. no? Charles?.. mm not unless he looked more like Picard.. Claw..? Fang?.. Kage? hmm, what is the name of the mortal combat guy with the claw.. meh I can't remember. oooo I know, Blanka from Street Fighter! Yep. Welcome to Blanka!
So I already decided I'd just go ahead and call the snake, Dakota, seems rather fitting as that has been his home for over a year now.
Wasn't that fun? I had the privileged to name a couple of my friends cars too. Jon's car is named Penelope, Ali's jeep is known as Libby or Libs.
Ali has informed me that I forgot the most important stuffed animal of all. McCaramel / McGinger (depending on what comes out of my mouth). He's just a huuuuuuuge stuffed bear that sleeps with everyone ;]. He even gets to fly some times!
Moral of the story: I'm usually pretty entertained.
