The family is having some small difficulty agreeing on a boat name. Dana thinks my names are too geeky. I think hers are too girly. Sam wants to name the boat Banana Rocket or Golden Fang or some other such nonsense.
And since peer pressure has always been a strong (some would say primary) contributor to my behavior, I figured you should help me name my boat. Please weigh in, via the comments area, if you prefer one of the names below. Or feel free to suggest some alternative.
- Bonfire
- Smaug
- Subtle Assertion
- Kobayashi Maru
- Firefly
- Rift
Keep in mind that I hate puns. Especially puns that are an obvious play on words; like say for example, a salesman naming his boat Sale Away. That’s stupid. Metaphors, on the other hand, I like. Especially if the metaphor has some deeper meaning or makes total strangers ask, “What is the significance of your boat’s name?” Google “Flood Tip” when you get a chance. Now that is one hell of a boat name. I’m a little pissed I didn’t think of it.
Also keep in mind that the boat is a cruising boat. So names like Intimidator and Speedicus Maximus would feel out of place.
Special note to Chad: The boat name, Inverted Uterus, will not be considered for any reason. It is just -not- as funny as you think it is.
