Personification of our gear AKA Naming it!

[ClayJar]

If I had a RIB with a corrugated floor, I could call the set of gear that stays on the boat "Reginald Barclay". (After all, Reg spent all that time on the hollow-deck.)

(Note: While I don't have a name for my dive gear, and at most I'll occasionally call my car the "Tib", my car *is* nicknamed "the teapot". Sadly, the reason for that is something that is only known to those who watched Babylon 5 during the first SciFi run, and without being at least a little familiar, it'd be simply too long a story for too little punchline.)

I have a lovely Faber HP100 named "Stella" She's a good girl!

I haven't named any scuba gear, but my deer rife (Winchester Model 70 .30-06) is named Vera.

YouTube - Vera (hilarious scene from Firefly, in the middle of an argument over a woman, contains mild swearing)

I have a feeling we're all going to be haunted by people saying, "Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle." (I need to watch Firefly again. It's been too long.)

I may not have a name for any of my gear, but does it mean anything that my official imaginary buddy has a name? "Sidney Buckner" has witnessed quite a few of my dive logs. You should hear some of his stories. (Thankfully, he seems *much* more conservative now that he dives with me.)

My 100 steel was named the "baby bottle"

"If wishes were horses we would all be eating steak."

At the risk of hijacking this thread I demand that we come up with a scuba appropriate version!

Hmmm ... 'If wishes were great whites ..."

"If wishes were octopus ..."

"If wishes were whale sharks ..."

"If wishes were clownfish ..."

:hmm:

Heck, old age it hitting me and I can't remember my kids names most of the time! How am I going to remember names for my gear?

Well, your *gear* doesn't mind if you take a big paint pen and write its name across it.

As long as its in REALLY BIG LETTERS!

Naming inanimate objects is such a chick thing. I know many girls that give thier cars a name.

Although, come to think of it, I have an inanimate object I have a name for, it is my trusty 16lb sledge hammer, I call it “Sluggo”. It’s the best assistant I have ever had.
