    Talking Naming stuff.

    So how many of you guys out there have named your guns like Davey Crockett did? Remember "Old Betsy"? How about your knives? I got three named "Buck".
    One guy I know was in construction and named his hammer "Bertha". Another young fellow started driving one of our 40' transit buses and named his "Clarice". Why all girls' names? If I ever did name a gun I might want to call it "Butch" or "Duke". If I was a woman I might be offended if someone named a tool after me, unless I got a % of the profit!

    I think she's got it. I don't name stuff, personally.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    I used to call my old pos truck names all the time but I can't repeat them here I have never named anything that I've owned but I guess peopl do it to make it their own. Actually that truch did have a name but my freinds named it not me, they called it The Big Green Nasty.

    Yeah I name stuff... animals and ppl, and only if I have to. But I see almost "personality" in things like guns knives and other tools. Traits that I guess they could be labeled for.

    When I was 14 I bought my first knife, I called it 'Justin'

    Every weapon I've ever owned has shared that name, Justin Case.

    I called my first car 'Slut', because it ran on anything you put in it.

    I call my current Jeep 'b*tch', well, because it's a JEEP!!
