Well, these folks with the named pieces (that make or used to make up my smoking circle) were male AND female.

Some other names of my own include:

Firehammer (my first)
Labrynth
Distraction
Deeper Down the Spiral
USSmoke Enterprise (yes, it was shaped like the ship)
Fenster
Starshell Aquarius the Deep (current and only working one)

The only things I've ever named were my guitars.

I guess I should name my gun, though. Don't people usually name their guns?

It needs a good piratey name.

I've named my last two cars, and I know some people name things that rhyme with bong, But those are some great names. Were I a smoker, I'm sure those circles would be great. I have to assume the name Fenster comes from The Usual Suspects?
My last car, not current one, was "O-Ushi", for she was the widest vehicle I had ever driven. But also respectfully named after Hida O-Ushi.

Yes, it is from Usual Suspects, and to add to it, Fenster actually got confiscated by the cops, so I bought him a replacement piece that he named McMannis. :)

That's too awesome. You need a Kobayashi. I'm almost sorry I gave up smoking. Ah, well, Now I can name drinks.

In the grand old tradition (everything if it gets named, gets named Burt, Bertie, Bertold whatever - even the machine got the nearest female equivalent)but i have no desire to name them, so you can have Burt, and call the other Earnie.

If you wish, not piraty, but... amusing.

Ok, camera is all charged up and ready to take it back into work to get photo's of crown and bits and bobs. Will post when can. (well, will photobucket)

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

Nah, my gun needs a cool name like "The Widowmaker" or something.

Not those plasticky ones, I got rid of those. I'm talking about the shiny wooden one with the real metal bits cozen bought me. That's the one that needs a name.

YAY for camera and pictures of bits and bobs!!

Because you work in a museum, do you get to go in the others for free?

no sadly not!

We're quite lucky in that most museums in england are free anyway (the government got one thing right at least) but there are some that ain't, like one called 'spaceport' that opened near us recently - absolutely fantastic place, and we wen't specifically cause they had the DR Who exhibition there (all the aliens costumes and props and whatnot from the new series, complete with fart sound efeects for the slitheen and a moving screaming Dalek, and a Cyberman - really good!) but tit costs £8.50 minimum for adults and not much less for kids (bout twenty $?) on which even a discount would have been handy.

And then the V&A (or The Object Heaven as i like to call it) charges for its special exhibitions.... *pout*

I remember seeing that museum on the Dr. Who DVDs! It was in Liverpool and I was like "One more reason to visit Seryn!"

£8.50 is about $15 or $16. A bit expensive for a museum. Even the Philadelphia Museum of Art isn't that expensive, and it's free on Sundays.

It's nice that kids get a discount
