Op, just for laughs, can you print up a banner (o paper) that reads "Don't taser me bro!" and put it where the name should go and take a picture? I am sure ATOT would love that.

How about "Boston Broiler" if you live in NE?

wtf mate, i already said that.

Jeh-nay...

Dang sorry, I skimmed through all of the pages looking for Jenny and missed it. My bad... mate.

don't worry, Mr Jackson actually suggested it first....on page 1, no less. so I guess Juno should be apologizing to him, and not tasking for your forgiveness.
;)


as for the boat...how about Dog Star or Sirius?

i dont really see how

they are the same thing, tools that enable you to move from point A to point B faster and easier then self locomotion, Walking or Swimming


and for a name other then Boat, i recomend Turd Ferguson

boats have been around waaaaay longer than cars. for centuries they were what kept explorers from meeting a cold end at the bottom of the sea. For that, they get names.

It's also for luck, b/c you don't want your unnamed boat turning bitter and pitching you over

From the Narnia books, "Dawn Treader".


I did like the Oldsmoboat though, that was funny.

ah a fellow sailer...sorry to hear you move to a powerboat...you will be back!

As far as names...tough question.. I was always a fan of boats that would continue their legacy, (Legasea was an old boat of ours...) name it like 'Sandpiper2' or keep a theme like keep 'Sandscooper' or something along those lines???

i'll be thinking about this the rest of the day at work...

No Name is her name.

C-C-C-Combo Breaker!!!
Although this would be better for your third or forth boat. "Sandpiper", "Sandpiper 2", "Sandpiper 3", and "C-C-C-Combo Breaker!"

"tub girl" would actually sound somewhat nautical.

If it was a catamaran you could name it "lolcat"
