Name Your Stuff

So, everyone has wierd stuff. And they like to name it. So I'd like to know what people name certain aspects of their lives.

For example, my DDR Pad (Cobalt Flux all the way ^^) is named "Intense LochNIX Pleasure Mix"

Any takers?

My team has a hammer named Bill, another one named Genuine Hick, and rubber one named Vaughan. The hack saw's name is Heather. We used to have a lathe named Betty but she got sold.

Re: Name Your Stuff

We have a mallet named after me on the team.. "The Lisa tool".. Guess I use that thing as a gavel during robotics meetings way too much

Personally? I have a stapler and I like to call it Milton. Unfortunately, it's not red..

And I refer to my mugs and Starbucks thermos as "My Pets"

Re: Name Your Stuff

If you use *NIX and aren't lame, you have to think up names for your computers. So far, I have Phloam, Quoth, Ziggomatic, Nannou, Flaphead and Ventolin.

Ten points to anyone who gets the reference.
