Name That Modular!

2002-09-23 by osthelder

My mother always said "if you don't call it to dinner, it shouldn't 
have a name!"  I pretty much agreed with this logic until people 
actually started buying my artwork.  It became necessary to name 
paintings simply to catalog them.  Granted, the names some of the 
pieces received were rather oblique attempts at humor; but if I 
remembered it, who cared?

That being said, what have my fellow MOTM'ers called their systems?  
I was struck by the names of things and places and activities and 
events-The Long Now (a mechanical clock), The Borg (you know...), 
Fist of God, Damius, Synth of Doom (goodness! What IF that thing fell 
on you?), ad infinitum.  Now that my system is nearly ready for 
assembly into a collective, what to call it? I'm sure I'll come up 
with something soon (read that as "obsessed and not likely to paint 
the bathroom soon"...)but it would be fun to have full collection of 
MOTM system names here in the list.

Spot is a nice name...

Chub (now THERE is a name)
