Alright you guys, just remember Punisher is going to be taking my boat for a week next month. So there goes "Gay Blade" and I don't think Creamiscle or Dreamsicle or Moby Dique would work either :spank:

And Red-Blue, I did spell the Anemone wrong, but you can't edit a poll after the fact. :bang:

Odin's "Sting" seems to be gaining ground..

Here is the Wiki on Sting:
Sting was an Elvish short sword made in Gondolin during the First Age

"The blade glows blue when orcs are close." Sting was an ancient blade, made by the Elves during the First Age and was lost during the Fall of Gondolin, the same battle in which Turgon fell and Glamdring was taken. Sting was a magical weapon used by Bilbo in The Hobbit, which he found in a troll-hoard along with Glamdring and Orcrist. Although it was just a knife by the standard of elves, it made a perfect sword for a Hobbit. Bilbo gave Sting to Frodo before the Fellowship set off from Rivendell. After the defeat of Sauron at the end of the Third Age, Frodo entrusted Sting to Sam and it became an heirloom of the Gamgee family.

It was named by Bilbo after fighting a giant spider in Mirkwood, where he used it to "sting" the beast, so to speak, Bilbo then went on to "sting" many other giant spiders. Like all weapons forged in Gondolin it glowed blue when orcs were near.

Gollum, who disliked anything made by the elves, was afraid of Sting. His fear aided Bilbo when he confronted Gollum in a cave at the base of the Misty Mountains in The Hobbit. It also helped Frodo tame Gollum (temporarily) in The Lord of the Rings.

Two more...

First is a play on a similarity to your name... " Lady Katana" as in the Japanese Samurai Sword...

The second is "Tangerine Dream" as in the musical group...

Also, the simple name female name" Dawn " might fit because of the orange color...

Looks like we're headed for a run-off, folks. I'll take the top three names and add some of the new suggestions on this thread. sometime this weekend. So if you have some new suggestions, let me know!
Finalists so far: Sting, Nemo and Anemone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Odin, I should remind you I work out on the river next to the yacht club.. good manners and a cheerful wave are required at all times. If someone is sailing their huge yacht into your path, a little friendly hello gesture and "Excuse me!" is entirely in order. "Flipping the bird" and intentionally bashing into someone's boat would be a serious breach of decorum perhaps only acceptable in the state of New York. Don't confuse confidence with bad manners, please.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've seen stinkpotters arguing at the launch. It's usually the ones who only come out on weekends for a couple hours, and they get all territorial about having to wait in line for the launches. Kayakers here have a fellowship. In general, kayakers are the coolest and most friendly boaters. I remember once a father took his teenaged daughter out kayaking and somehow they got separated. He paddled by and asked me to find her, which I did. I'd never met them before, but seems like kayakers always help each other out or request help from eachother without a second thought. The pier fishermen here are the same. If someone's line gets caught or they lose something, nobody thinks twice about asking me to go get it for them. I guess it's a Midwest thing, but they are also like that in Texas. Everytime I go to Texas everyone is so polite and they will do anything to help another person.

There is room for four more new ones, :spank:but no more feminine hygiene product names please. Just add your names onto this thread. Yes, this is a mindless parlor game we are playing while waiting for the Kaskazi container to arrive.

Haha. :bash: Sailor, tell my why it's bad luck to name your kayak. I'm not sure if Vikings named their craft, but they did put all kinds of gnarly heads and scary things on the bow to freak out the people who'd see them invading shorelines.

I'm back to work today after glogg last night. That is a miracle. Odin, do you drink glogg?

True Vikings drink meade. It can be brewed at home using all kinds of natural things like honey. I've been thinking about learning to make it.

Goldie that sounds like a nice time. Used to do so with my grandparents as a kid... Great memories...Miss that stuff at times!:up:

Yeah, good stuff! The mayor of the town it was held in is 1/2 Norwegian so she came and gave a speech. (In English). There were also four charming exchange students from Norway who sang carols to us. One of the exchange students was being hosted by a Swedish family, and I sat across from him at dinner. For a Swede, nice guy (laughs).

Just need to get the Huki registered here in Ohio and then I can take her out-- been very busy due to retail/ holiday work and it's been raining and freezing nearly every day! Want a day in the mid-40's for the first launch since I am likely to fall out a lot. I talked to my my airbrush guy today, he wants to airbrush the Huki when we get done with holiday orders.

Odin, I think you will really like a QCC 700... they are good for distance, just take her easy at first due to comfort issues. Last winter I trained a lot in a sea kayak, and they will keep you warmer over cold weather months. Sometimes my back got pinched though, and the fixed position gave me muscle cramps here and there. I was 5 seconds from getting a second hand QCC 700 when I discovered the Dorado.. and realized it would be smarter to use that for awhile than get yet another sea kayak with a closed cockpit. Although I love my sea kayaks, I'm really really sold on the open cockpit now because it's so much easier to get in and out (maybe too easy to get out) and affords more comfort in the height of summer. Plus you get that deep Saint Tropez tan from training in a ski.. ahhaha.

Wish I were in Florida now! Gahhhhh.. I found ice in my D2 seat yesterday! Help!!

Odin

12-06-2009, 07:15 PM

Goldie, in my case it would be a San Tropez pink!!:arol::arol::arol:

I would prefer the open cockpit, but as I said, by the time Bruce gets a new designed Skua in, and it gets to me in New York, I won't be able to use it until the 2011 season.

Art has taken three years to address the common Skua AR complaints and issues that people have complained about on a consistant basis. I really want a new Kaskazi, but I just don't want to wait so long for it...:IDK:

I really have to think about this... It's a great deal for the QCC...

goldfishgoddess

12-06-2009, 07:30 PM

Good luck on that new QCC, Odin. You are much more courageous about modifying new boats than I am. My fave thing is to get an old dog at a great price and then spend the winter fixing it up.. refinishing, making modifications, installing new rudder, etc. I love bringing a well-loved boat back from the dead. A boat that's been outside a couple years? That would be just my kind of boat to refinish and restore. I also drive old cars, hahah. Maybe it's because I don't care about that "new car smell" like you guys do.

Seriously, aside from the seat and leaky hatches I've heard about with QCC, people just love them. They are fast and stable, and can carry a lot of stuff. Also hear the best things about their customer service and build quality, though they have had some issues as I said with hatch leaking. In some cases, they replaced the whole boat if a hatch leaked. There was a guy on Long Island this past summer who wanted to sell me his QCC that he'd modified for racing, but I was a bit worried since he glassed over what used to be a back hatch opening to save weight and also stop the leaking. I felt that maybe doing that would void the lifetime warranty. On top of that, his boat was white with red nose and red stern. Looked like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

You really can't lose even if you end up with a new one, because resale value will be good for QCC for evah and evah. People love them :worship:

PS. OK, ten votes now for "keep trying" on the names. Seems like our first poll is epic fail.

I would name it after the Greek godPriapus... (http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/greek-mythology.php?deity=PRIAPUS)

Excerpted from the link...

"Until one day something amazing happened and his male appendage grew to enormous size. "

"Meanwhile, PRIAPUS rose fairly high in the public's estimation, and was later given responsibility for harvests and fruitfulness. But the disturbing fact remains, he never had any progeny. As he was also known as 'Priapus The Pruner', is it possible he had the snip?"
:cool:

Fishtank, dream on. :arol: It's not going to grow to 20 feet; no matter what, how and when.

Most likely Priapus did not get medical help when needed. Check out what happens if you don't. :rmad:

"Priapism is a persistent, usually painful, erection that lasts for more than four hours and occurs without sexual stimulation. The condition develops when blood in the penis becomes trapped and unable to drain. If the condition is not treated immediately, it can lead to scarring and permanent erectile dysfunction."

That's right, ED. And those were the days before Viagra, Cialis and the like. Which would explain his failure to sire little Prips.
