I'm formatting a new 250 GB portable firewire drive and I need a good name for it. All of my hard drives and partitions are named after fictional starships. Anyone have good suggestions?
'The Killer In Me'
Natter 55: It's the 55th Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm afeared to ask, as it might take all day to read through the list, but which ships do you already have?
I think you've already used my favorites.
Maybe something more obscure? Like, say, the Yorktown (or other federation starships from ST:TOS)?
eta: or the Constellation (from The Doomsday Machine)?
Pride of Chanur?
S. S. Botany Bay?
The current fleet includes:
Galactica, Daedalus, Prometheus, Heart of Gold, Nimbus, Korolev, Red Dwarf, Serenity, Augira, Betta, Loenov, Sulaco, Moya, Odyssey, Star Bug, Swordfish II, Bebop, Cygnus, Palomino...um, those are all the ones that came to mind, but I know there are a few others.
S. S. Botany Bay?
That's a good one, seeing as it's the first time we see KHAAAAAANNN!
Oooooo...Botany Bay might win it on this round.
How about The Venture, from this [link] classic book which you all should read RIGHT NOW.
Okay, I have to tell my total geek Khan story. I did a show a few years ago in the Ricardo Montalban Theatre here in LA and at one point during tech while the crew was working on stage I ran up to the balcony, stood on the edge and yelled "KHANNNNNNNNN!" at the top of my lungs. Most people had no idea what I was doing but 3 of the crew almost fell over laughing.
Also, as a result of that gig I have Ricardo's voice giving the preshow announcement on my hard drive.
