What's in a name?

[Thruthefog]

In our summer bowling league, the secretary of our team wasn't able to bowl the first week. What that meant was that it was left up to Kenny and I to name our team. When she returned in week two, it seemed that she wasn't very happy about our team name. I'm not sure why. '3 Pimps and a Crackhead' finished 4th. Oh well. I'll bet she's there Wednesday on our first week of the fall league.

When I was doing my fall breeding last year, I had decided that 'Gandydancer' would be a good name for a racehorse. So I picked a sire and a broodmare, filled in all the necessary information, and typed in 'Gandydancer' for a male name. I double check all the info and hit the submit button.

'That male name has already been used. Please select another.'

So I think, 'Swarm' would be a pretty cool name. So I type that in.

'That male name has already been used. Please select another.'

At this point I'm getting impatient, exasperated, and perhaps a little angry. So as I'm typing in the next name, I'm thinking, 'I'll bet no one has used 'Chickenhead'. Unfortunately, I was right. And that's how you end up with a racehorse named Chickenhead.

Odd for everyday living. When naming a horse, nothing normal about it.

My thumbs are typing fine. Fuck them pain pills, fuggers were like a diet plan. Doc said no handy for Gandy for 7 days. Half way home, half way home. Prolly why I had carpal-tunnel in the first place. Not the joysticks at work, couldn't leave mine own joystick alone. LOL
