My calculator is old and battered. It needs a hardened name. Hmm, I think he's an Antero. It's from the Unknown Soldier.
iTunes needed me to name my iPod so I made that simply "myPod". Uninspired, but I didn't care to name it. I'm pretty sure I've named my water heater, but I've forgotten its name (poor guy..but I only use it for scalding tomatoes nowadays because my roommate has one too).
I played a board game earlier today and I named the cloisters I built (Saint Luther's and Adewale's. The latter would've been according to Rosa Parks but I didn't remember her name. I was using black pieces, hence the inspiration for the names) and the town I built. It was Birka but since it ended up looking like a six pointed star I made it Betlehem. Possibly my buddies thought I was going crazy.
I don't usually name stuff, just sometimes.
My brother got his iPod from a friend who had named it the "little wampire".

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

My GPS is named Dolores. In my defense, she sounds like a Dolores. And she's all bitchy. *NM*
