Sandwich or cocktail. Absolutely nothing else comes close

― imago, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 19:13 (eleven years ago)

"all aboard the ogmor express" has a ring to it, otherwise I guess martial arts move

the ogmor lock would be a reverse sleeper hold where you nod off in a manner than incapacitates the target

Dinosaur. Would have chosen pub/bar if it was an option.

― pick it up for ripple laser (onimo), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 19:20 (eleven years ago)

Well I'm already (sort of) named after a cocktail, so I voted library.

Library. Why buck the family tradition?

"HMS Bontee" sounds nice

what is wrong with you people, there is only one option and it is DINOSAUR

― r. bean (soda), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 19:39 (eleven years ago)

actually I pick sandwich IF AND ONLY IF said sandwich is a Guy Fieri creation

sandwich or dinosaur.

― Alvarius B. Goode (WilliamC), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 19:41 (eleven years ago)

yeah I'm going with cocktail

― imago, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 19:41 (eleven years ago)

i mean just add dinosaur to any of the others and they're instantly better

stoned dinosaur poetry reading in library = whose woods GWRRRARRRRRARRHGHG these are I think I ate
dinosaur digging up other dinosaur = efficient, kinda meta, crying as it recognizes a relative
dinosaur martial arts = mostly kicking, but otherwise awesome. capoeira?
dinosaur eating a sandwich and drinking a martini in a gentleman's club = classy
dinosaur on a barge = jurassic park 2

― r. bean (soda), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 19:44 (eleven years ago)

bacon zombie pirate dinosaur

― waterflow ductile laser beam (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 19:45 (eleven years ago)

whatever, dinosaur is not part of the stupid memey trendy thing

Dinosaur sandwich

― StanM, Thursday, 24 April 2014 03:35 (eleven years ago)

all fine choices but cannibus, of course

― brimstead, Thursday, 24 April 2014 03:52 (eleven years ago)

yikes, lemme rephrase that:
all fine choices.
BUT.
cannibus, of course.

― brimstead, Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:29 (eleven years ago)

to be clear, i voted for cannibus. see yall later.

― brimstead, Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:29 (eleven years ago)

a drink.

― getting strange ass all around the globe (Neanderthal), Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:30 (eleven years ago)

an island

if not an island then a dinosaur

― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:35 (eleven years ago)

In terms of longevity of 'fame', the dinosaur name might be known to fewer individuals, but it would probably be known for more centuries than any of the other choices. A sandwich could be just some novelty item on the menu of one obscure café. Big deal.

― Aimless, Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:44 (eleven years ago)

speculatively speaking, i think there is an outside chance that if a dinosaur species is named after you, someday you might become a dinosaur

― j., Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:46 (eleven years ago)

after considering library, i voted sandwich

― i also enjoy in line skateing (spazzmatazz), Thursday, 24 April 2014 04:50 (eleven years ago)

Voting sandwich because I'd like a burger named after me

― PhetamineGrrrn (wins), Thursday, 24 April 2014 06:03 (eleven years ago)

mmm, sandwich wouldn't work for me..

The dino, the blow, the library, the boat, all would.

The martial art move would be the one that "knocks you out"

So, that one.

― Mark G, Thursday, 24 April 2014 09:51 (eleven years ago)

I voted Boat, but I really mean Ship

― Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Thursday, 24 April 2014 10:02 (eleven years ago)

a sandwich is appealing but i'd rather a side dish, maybe some diner's slaw.

― estela, Thursday, 24 April 2014 10:10 (eleven years ago)

i wd like a particularly fleeting mood named after me

― you poll a lot, but you're not saying anything (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 24 April 2014 10:12 (eleven years ago)

Write in for "a ridiculous top 10 yacht rock hit song"? A la "Rosanna".

― the Bronski Review (Trayce), Thursday, 24 April 2014 10:25 (eleven years ago)

There already is a sandwich named after me in my circles/notsohumblebrag

So it depends on what the dinosaur is.

― tsrobodo, Thursday, 24 April 2014 13:15 (eleven years ago)

paolosaur, hands down

― paolo, Thursday, 24 April 2014 14:29 (eleven years ago)

Standwich!

― StanM, Thursday, 24 April 2014 17:30 (eleven years ago)

I'd like an astronomical body named after me, like a comet or a nebula. Not a star tho, that seems cheesy somehow.

― DISMISSED AS CHANCE (NotEnough), Friday, 25 April 2014 08:29 (eleven years ago)

i think i'd like to change my answer to a write in option: mass extinction.

― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 25 April 2014 19:46 (eleven years ago)

Library > dinosaur > cocktail

If you could swap the boat for a train, then train would probably come above cocktail.

― emil.y, Friday, 25 April 2014 20:16 (eleven years ago)

Disease would also be v. cool.

― emil.y, Friday, 25 April 2014 20:16 (eleven years ago)

Not if you had to die from it to earn the honor.

― Aimless, Friday, 25 April 2014 20:18 (eleven years ago)

See: Lou Gehrig's disease.

― Aimless, Friday, 25 April 2014 20:18 (eleven years ago)

Nah, I don't mind.

something singular and concrete. probably boat

― cerealbar, Friday, 25 April 2014 20:20 (eleven years ago)

I don't think a concrete boat is going very far

sorry

how do you ruin an already terrible joke?!

― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 25 April 2014 20:25 (eleven years ago)

a cocktail would probably be cooler, but a sandwich seems more appropriate to my temperament

highway

i look like a highway

― schlump, Friday, 25 April 2014 21:08 (eleven years ago)

I look five miles of bad road. (well, not really, but it seemed like a good line to throw out)

A library! No contest!

― ∞, Friday, 25 April 2014 22:43 (eleven years ago)

A sandwich could be just some novelty item on the menu of one obscure café. Big deal.

AIMLESS! A sandwich is named after somebody, a notorious gambler and inferior admiralty bureaucrat, thank Heavens.

(Voted cocktail, like any sane person)

― J'ai toujours préféré la folie des passions à la sagesse de (Michael White), Friday, 25 April 2014 23:28 (eleven years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Wednesday, 30 April 2014 00:01 (eleven years ago)

Voted sandwich as I've had a sandwich named for me:

Onion bagel toasted, then retoasted with pepper turkey, avocado and cheddar cheese atop.

― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 00:16 (eleven years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:01 (eleven years ago)

Now that the dust has settled, I realize that a boat named Aimless might be kind of cool.

― Aimless, Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:02 (eleven years ago)

Yes, I Guess They Oughta Name a Library After You--doesn't sound right.

― clemenza, Thursday, 1 May 2014 00:09 (eleven years ago)

you bunch of nerds

― paolo, Thursday, 1 May 2014 08:06 (eleven years ago)

Do you mean you want a collective noun named after you? A murder of crows, a paolo of nerds?

― StanM, Thursday, 1 May 2014 08:09 (eleven years ago)

thing is, with a library, it's not like i wrote all those books

― you poll a lot, but you're not saying anything (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 1 May 2014 08:53 (eleven years ago)

exactly

― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 1 May 2014 16:17 (eleven years ago)

Sandwich or cocktail. Absolutely nothing else comes close

I totally read this as 'a cocktail sausage'
