We call Isabel's car "The Bee" because it's yellow. I know perfectly well that bees are black as well as yellow, by the way.

Emma says on the headthread that she disapproves on principle of this sort of thing. Do you? And what names have you given to things?

The Bee is not that bad, but if you called the car Mr Bumbly or something that would meet with my stern disapproval. Got that?

Who is going to make a top self-effacing joke about their penis?

― Nick, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is your penis inanimate then Nick?

Noone I hope for the sake of family values.

The plants in our front room have names.

I am too sleepy and dense to have realised until now that my so- called riposte to Nick missed and hence repeated the point of his witty joke. Groan. I am going to be poor company this evening I fear.

bees are beautiful.

Tom, bring your home-made vibrator along as a comic prop. Talking of which, did that have a name?

― Nick, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

We call our silver Rav 4 "Bullet". The best name I've heard for a car comes from a friend of mine who calls his black BMW 33ci coupe "Blacula".

My space hopper is called "Sledge". Grrr Arrgh is called Grr Arrgh as that is his tiger essence.

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

How about a thread to name Tom's home made vibrator?

― Emma, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Grr Arrgh? That makes me happy. :-)

Hum hum hum, inanimate objects. Well, the Spirit of the Household is called Gorto.

I once ripped the head off of my He-Man action figure, glued it onto an empty coke can and called it "Excelsior The Great". Does this count?

― Croooooow, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

five months pass...

Both my car and my amplifier are known as 'The Beast'. I called my guitar Nic for a while (Nic the Ric...) but now he's just Black Rickey.
