Title: How to name a fish
Post by: Xian_13 on February 10, 2004, 06:49:31 PM
Cabin fever must be sitting in....

So sit back and let me tell you about my fish (https://www.ccsforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fus.i1.yimg.com%2Fus.yimg.com%2Fi%2Fmesg%2Femoticons%2F04.gif&hash=b9d9ee02da410d6cdffe9f4c123620e9e5f8e667)

I have a fish that is a Fire Tetra.. he was a gift from a peep thats very dear to me.(https://www.ccsforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fus.i1.yimg.com%2Fus.yimg.com%2Fi%2Fmesg%2Femoticons%2F07.gif&hash=78e936cdc386f3aeb24d995fdfade6b3f6b6b3ed)
Though the fish came with good intention... there was the trouble of naming him.
With all the witt I have (Comeon Rob... Fire away (https://www.ccsforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fus.i1.yimg.com%2Fus.yimg.com%2Fi%2Fmesg%2Femoticons%2F09.gif&hash=d921adfb3bb3cbed4ce28b0af9700b5e4129bff8) ) I tried to find a name for my firey fish.

What you call a fish of fire!
After thinking about it for awhile, running thoughts of fire though my head, I managed to come up with a great name!
"Styx"
Named for the mythalogical river of fire. What other name would be so right for a fire fish, then after the river of Fire?
So "Styx" it was (https://www.ccsforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fus.i1.yimg.com%2Fus.yimg.com%2Fi%2Fmesg%2Femoticons%2F04.gif&hash=b9d9ee02da410d6cdffe9f4c123620e9e5f8e667)
When ever you are sitting back trying to name a pet, just think really hard and remember me and my Fish Styx (https://www.ccsforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fus.i1.yimg.com%2Fus.yimg.com%2Fi%2Fmesg%2Femoticons%2F16.gif&hash=feb325eb5698d6356a7499de0bae40b9cda3bbe5)

Dude, you think like I do when it comes to naming animals. Cat = Azuma, not so reknowned GP125 racer. What to nickname him? Zoomies, cuz he zooms around the house. Zoom-zoom, cuz we own a couple of Mazdas.

Azuma-bikes
Zoomies-action
Zoomzoom-cars

The dog is named Bronte to confuse non-literary types. Also, because she just didn't look like a Rossi. ::) ;D ;D ;D

Now I'm dying to hear the story of how your daughter got her name.  It might sound a lot like an episode of "That 70's Show."

Well, there's a Welsh myth about a good witch (Rhiannon) riding out of a mountain on a white horse. I liked the imagery. There's more involved in how I picked her middle name and such, but basically, if you say her complete name, it rolls off the tongue.  :P (be good boy, K3!) :o

However, I think she's planning to paint her horse black this year. Trying to buck the good witch image?  ;)

I named our new puppy 'Chili'.  No, not after the food, but after Francisco. Not in honor of his WSB win at Laguna this year, but because he is very passionate about motorcycles and racing.

Everybody can meet her at the races this year.

For the first time in my life, I named a bike.  

The first time I kicked over the CRF-450, it said "BAM-BAM" so that's what I named it  ;D

I don't know her middle name, but I have to admit that Rhiannon is just about the prettiest name I've ever heard.

Still, I'm not sure if Alexa's telling the whole truth here.  To those who know and love her, try my version on for size. ;D
I have always imagined inspiration coming to Lex (clad in a fringed leather jacket, concert tee shirt, jeans and feathered earrings, natch!) in a traffic jam while trying to get out of the parking lot at Alpine Valley after a concert.  "Hey!  I know!  If it's a girl, we'll call her Rhiannon!"  The Lex Ex hits a doobie and replies, "Whoa, dude!  That's like, so cool!"  
(BTW, I was probably AT that concert myself. :-[)
Dag!  I wonder where I'm going to get my leathers fixed from now on? :o :-* :-*

Chris, I always knew you had an active imagination, but, wow.  ::)

No, I'm much more cerebral than that, however, my ex did hit the doobies pretty hard, which is why he's my ex. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Mama didn't raise no fool.

White, black, whatever...  If these were pilgrim times, you'd both be in BIG trouble.
Hey!  don't get mad!  That's just what pilgrims did when they got the hots for a girl back then.  I mean, this couldn't possibly have anything to do with me, could it?  Those two cast a spell on me and made me have impure thoughts about them... ;D

My Dad isn't big on pets but he always came up with the best names.  When he was a kid he had a dog named Bolivar Shagnasty.  When I was a kid we had a cat that got most of its tail lopped off in a car motor.  It's name was Aesop because of its short tail.  Get it?   ;)

Yes Chris, it's the women's fault you are a big, bad, raging gonad.  :o :o :o :o ;) :D ;D

Quotebig, bad, raging gonad.
I wonder if I could fit all that on the back of my leathers?  Heheheheheh.  She said gonad.

Impure thoughts.  I've always liked the sound of that.  The subtlety of it makes it seem somehow more dirty than actually talking dirty.  And of course I've always been noted for my subtleness...

Not my taste in private parts, but then that should be fairly obvious!

My wife had to have 2 hamsters "for my daughter". One is hers, Black and white furry thing and the other is mine.  He's small and brown and likes to run.  I named him "Beaner" (I'm Border Patrol)
