Rex, in honor of my dog and 'cause it means "king"...I guess. Nothing too creative or fabulous here *shrug*

So I guess JoVan until the ship tells me it's name

Just an object. It doesn't mean what you think....
LOL are you a JoVan fan..are we talking about the same joVan from OLTL..if so I'm a jovan fan too..its just funny to meet up with another JoVan on the FireFly board
when I buy my 1rst house I've already deceided I'm going to name it Serenity..
but if I had a ship I would probably name it Nibiru after planet X or teh 12th planet in our solar system.or blue Turtle..why turtle ..because I have been having dreams about turtles since I was a very young child!!

Yeah, that's my couple! I thought I lost my mind when I started hanging out here for Firefly. Now I know I am toast because I spend too much time talking about them. It is better than just something to do until the BDM comes out.
It's all synchronicity, because Nathan Fillian was one of the umpteen millino Joey Buchanon's -- the one who had the affair with Dorian.
Do you hang on the JpVan yahoo list at all? I'm geri there. There is a great fanfic page where I have a cpl poems located here: http://niklovr.tvheaven.com/JoVan/fanfiction.htm

Cars...
79 mustang named "The High Beastess of Mustangs"
84 Merc. Topaz "Harcourt Justin Xavier Roderick Charlemagne the first" aka "Harcourt"
77 Thunderbird (pale grey) "Charcharodon Megalodon" aka "Meg"
There was a very good reason for all of those names :P (she was a p.o.s.; he was a p.o.s. who's license plate started with HJX; and hey - have you ever SEEN a pale grey 77 thunderbird? They look like a giant shark!)
Ships....
In a Star Wars game, I named the lawyer character's ship "The Silent Partner"
In my Firefly Fanfic, the ship is called "The Oberon"
In a different Star Wars game, my YT-1300 is called "The Adventuress" - and if you want to see the floor plan I spent a long and boring day at work in a call center cutting and pasting and photocopying together, it's on the Star Wars page of my website.
I love you guys' ideas! :)

I have a hand-built custom (street legal) 64cc 3-wheel trike with cargo bed known as "The Wheelspinner" or just "Da Spinner"...
As for the ship ?
Vertigo-1
Damn I loved that game, especially against human opposition...
(Descent/Descent II)
And if I could score a vulcan/gauss?
Hook it up discreetely, too.
Most "shields" wouldn't stop a projectile weapon, and being hulled like a swiss cheese would put paid to just about anything.

LOL I remember Nathan Fillion from OLTL, actually he's the only Joey that really ever stood out for me..perhaps its because he was involved with Dorian..I was really into that storyline at the time
But JoVan is definetly the couple to watch for, I just that OLTL don't ruin them, the only place I've been able to see JoVan post are over at the zone but I don't have an account their so I can't post only read..I've been looking for some Jovan fan sights..and I'm defintely interested in reading your fanfic I bet its steamy just like JoVan....I'm also a LiRic fan do you know that is
anyway this is so funny!!

There is only one name that could possibly fit a ship like that:
Freedom
...I rest my case.
"...we're still flyin'."
"That's not much."
"It's enough." Malcolm Reynolds and Simon Tam - Serenity

I had a black Mercury Cougar XR7 (a Thunderbird SuperCoupe with a formal roofline), leather interior. I always felt it was the car that Darth Vader would have owned, had he bought FoMoCo products in the late 80s. Called it Jehu ("for, behold, he driveth furiously") until I sold it so I didn't get any more speeding tickets. Nice car.
I'd call MY ship the Golden Hindquarters, after Inara. Okay, okay, not really. Raphael Semmes? Jolly Roger? Cutty Sark? I have it! The Jubilation T. Cornpone, after a famous hero of the War Twixt the States.

Out of purest necessity, I spent one summer driving a 1981 Toyota Celica hatchback, barely ran, low to the ground, and conspicuously faded yellow. With unsolicited help from one of my sisters, it was dubbed "The Electric Chaquita Hoopty."
