A computer by any other name
Last weekend when I was in Atlanta, my friends Will and Sara bought a shiny new eMac. Earlier today, Marty asked them how they liked it and what they named it. (According to Sara, it's Hesperia.)
Since most of my friends and readers on this here site range from simple geeks (like myself) to hyper-super-uber geeks who even think the first two Star Wars prequels were good movies (that'd be Morgan), I'm posing the question: Have you named your computer(s)? If yes, what is the name and what kind of computer is it?
For the record, neither my G3 iBook nor my new G5 iMac has a name. I'm open to suggestions from anyone except Deborah. She'll just suggest something stupid because she's a communist tree-hugger hippie who hates Macs.

Laptop = Boobies
G5 = Super Fun Bag(s)

Follow up:
So when you use either you can say: Hello boobies or Hello fun bags and gently stroke each one as you slowly hit the "on" button. You'll never be disappointed.

I'd like to keep their names non-hooter related, if possible.
And Vicki, let's keep it clean. Think of the children.

Welcome kids, the letter for the day is the letter 'F.' There are all kinds of ways to use the letter F but there are certainly some fucking favorites. Besides french fries, fudge topping and fifty-one flavors ... here are some fine examples. Also, if you ride in the car with Uncle Chris he will teach you new and interesting ways to twist and turn the letter F into a fucking funny fiesta of fun. Tune in tomorrow when the letter will be the letter 'V'.
So Brian, when did you fucking start keeping it fucking clean??
And I thought EVERYTHING went right back to hooters??
Don't get all complicated on me now.
So you want to go straight up geeky ...
How about Hal and Greedo ... Luke and Han Solo.
Bart and Homer? Crusty and Moe?
Dildo and Buttmunch? Bear and Brewer?
Mac and Cheese? Bitch and Ho. Your ass-kissing option: Chris and Christian (how fucking sweet)
Hmmm ... so many choices.

I thought you had a g5? God, you're weird.

If my computer had a name, it would be OldMotherFuckerPieceofShitDoesn'tWork AnymoreHavetoCheckMyEmailattheLibrary.
For Brian's computers (and because I side with the Texas Hippie)
iBook-Dumb
iMac-Dumber

Sorry, I thought Marty's post was from Brian for some reason, maybe because Brian's name is right there and I'm so easily distracted. Brian = flatsville is good but he also = dullsville or doh-ville. Still, we are amused by him.

Christ, you people are asspains. The iMac shall be henceforth known as Thundergod, and the iBook is Teklanika.

Nerd.

God, that's it ... as usual what an anti-climax. Next time just skip the foreplay and dish out some dumbass names. Thundergod?? Jeebus.

Ah Vicki, always a pleasure to hear your late night constructive criticism. Don't be upset that I didn't take your "Buttmunch and Dildo" suggestion. You might take comfort in knowing it came in a close second.
Posted by: Vicki on February 3, 2005 11:21 PM
I'm not upset, I expected you'd come up with something SO MUCH BETTER I'd be left scratching my head thinking, huh, why didn't I think of THAT. That wasn't my reaction in this case. I have high expectations Brian, high expectations.

I know that the name has already been assigned, but how about "Gooey"? It works on so many different levels.
Sounds like the name of a kid who would hang out with Fat Albert.
Vaguely sexual in content (after all, that's what pc's/macs are for.)
Reminiscent of preadolescent toys (Slime, Stretch Armstrong) that we all loved.
And, for the technonerd, the phonetic pronounciation of Graphical User Interface, i.e., GUI or Gooey.
Of course, Thundergod works if you are still into "He-Man" Cartoons.
Out.
