Baseball Carp!
Went to Blue C after work today with Oren. It was actually pretty bad. Most of the conveyor belt was empty and the things I did have didn't taste great. Bleh, oh well.
I played PP for the evening. I have come up with many many brilliant baseball-related rename ideas for ships. See, the standard name scheme for ships is to be an adjective and a fish, like "Charming Tigerfish" or "Famous Ling" or "Aggressive Pickerel" or "Unique Carp" or whatever. They have a list of "standard" fish names on the PP wiki page here. Now, keep in mind, I thought up the first few of these without even consulting that list for inspiration:
Tim Salmon
Sid Bream
Randy Bass
Connie Mackerel
Catfish Hunter
Preacher Roe
Florida Marlin
Chicago Chub
Detroit Tigerfish
Anaheim Angelfish
Tampa Bay Devil Ray
Cincinnati Redfish
Boston Red Sockeye
St. Louis Cardinalfish
Colorado Rockfish
Chicago Whitefish
And then there were some that'd be kind of pushing it, like the Nomar Gar (ciaparra), the Granny Hamnerhead, the Calvin Pickerel (Pickering), Harvey Haddock (Haddix), Carlos Silverside (Silva), Johnny Tench or Kevin Tench (for Bench and Mench, respectively), or Placido Polanco could go either way for a Plaice or a Pollack... and then there's Steve Trout and Brandon Puffer.
Yes, I'm a dork. Hmm, I need to go hunt down some shanghais for the Baseball Carp first, I think, though.
