See the toy dog?

I won it from one of those cranes at an arcade near where I was staying on holiday.

The crane was faulty, and it dropped it at least 5 times before I got my hands on it after 20 pounds and 2 days of effort.

It really deserves a good name.

All I can think of is Bozo or Cockmaster.

Neither are really appealing.

Any suggestions?

Give it a name that one would want to give to a cat. Kind of like how Data's cat is named Spot, a name I at least associate with dogs.

Bob. Or name him/her/it after your favourite mod. Then you can have your very own pet mod.

Or Czardas. ((My grandfather used to have a dog named Czardas, who looked nothing like the toy (or me for that matter, lol). I'm not named after him. In fact I didn't know he existed until not too long ago.))

How about "Research Subject 708-A"?

Child-eater would be a good one too.

Hmm...somehow I don't feel the Mods would be too happy at the prospect of one of them being my bitch.

Yeah, he/she's right. He definitetly looks like a Rufus to me. It's gotta be Rufus.

Name it "cat".

Nah, I'm already trying to teach my cat to understand basic words like "jump", "computer" and "fuckoffyoustupidbitchChristthatwassore!"*.

Calling it "cat" would be confusing.

*She uses my left arm as a scratching post.

At this point in time, I'm considering a few options:

Al.
Sparky.
Frisbeeteria.
Neil.

Yes, I have a poor imagination.

*Looks at Czardas with a look of utter perplexity*

*Dies*Well, if you name your cat "Dog" and your dog "Cat", you'd call the cat, but the dog would come, confusing guests. Then if you asked Dog to get off the couch, but the cat was the one that got off...everyone would be so confused they'd implode. And isn't that what we want? ;)

You are aware that the cranes don't dispense living dogs?

You can just name this'un after a NS poster you really hate or really like (your choice). I have no dogs but I do have a lot of cats, which I name after mods. For example, a large fluffy grey cat named Karmabaijan is now sitting on the back of my chair and looking curiously over my shoulder at this message. :D

(no, j/k)

Well, the dog looks male so that rules out Ashmoria and FairyTInkArisen.

Pure Metal doesn't work, nor does Legless Pirates.

Drunk Commies makes me look strange, and I'm not about to name it Kut ta Death.

...Roach-Busters doesn't work, nor does Eutrusca. Bitchkitten would be funny, but I have a very strange feeling that won't work either. I know! You could call it 133733 Mc 1337 1337!!! :D

I think More Than Insurance copyrighted that one.

Besides, what's so lucky about a dog that cost me 20 quid when it was probably made for 85p in an Indonesian sweat-shop?

Ah, but you did not have to pay the plane ticket to get to the Indonesian sweat-shop... If you don't like the name, just call him Unlucky... :p
