Pet Names = Playa Names

Post by Mister Jellyfish Mister » Tue Jan 22, 2008 6:22 am

I gave my dog a name, but I only use it when he's bad. Since pets are not allowed in Black Rock City, it's only fitting that we utter playa names to them in our special woogie-woogie-scratch-my-belly puppy voices. So far I have called him:

Scuba
Scuba Duba Dog
Scrumptious Pup
Yeah Yeah

and his new fave:

Snuffle-Pup-Agus!

Post your pet playa names here.

Our beautiful Ocicat, Tigger

Goes to Tig-tig

then to Tiggies

devolves to Tiggies-iggies-Mcniggies

then various songs break out using all of the above.

most notably to "Boogie Ooggie Ooggie" and various x-mas songs.

Great for singing on the playa while riding our bikes.

Between my parents and us, we have 5 cats:
Dante
becomes Tay-tay or "crispy kitty"

Turk
becomes turkey, turkel, nyurk for when he does something stupid, but mostly we use "big fat puss" or "big puss" since he's huge but worse than the cowardly lion.

Shadow
becomes Doe, Putty (due to the ability to melt into any horizontal surface) or Acrocat.

Rainbow
becomes Raina, Bow, Black Hole (she's a shiny black that if she closes her yellow eyes allows her to disappear into a shadow), Her Majesty, or my favorite: "Mae West" for her ostrich-feather of a tail and dangling belly.

Sugar
was originally named Spook, but I've called her "Shoog", and when she does something stupid I call her Sucrose.
Okay, so ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking, yeah?

oh duh...I have a cat...I forget sometimes becuase he acts like a dog...

Cannibus

Was renamed in the first 15 mins to Ebus because my oldest named him and my youngest couldnt just go callin' CANNIBUS...hehehe
he is our proper overly self manicured fagcat(no offense to my gay friends...I should say he's metro, as he hates girl cats but loves guy cats)

But yes since then, 7 yrs ago....
He has become
ebiscat
ebby
Mr. boy(he likes that one best)
ebutt
ebinator

he sits and stays on command, comes when called(rare for a feline)
and will say the words Ma Ma when teased with fresh salmon.
Love to play a hard game of hide n seek, but you have to thrash him to the floor when you pounce...strange cat.
Names pinemom, but my friends call me "Piney".

Spotty, recently promoted to both Mr. Spot and even more recently Dr. Spot. Also, Mr. Boy; Mr. Cat; Big Guy; Herr Spatz. Occasionally, Shpatzie.

Ms. Luna, AKA Loony. She seems to do better with a limited number of names.

Cobbly. Cobbly-man. Cobbles. Mr. Cobbles.

Don't even get me started on the fish.. They actually don't have names, as that is the kiss of death for fish.

2 new additions to our animal family since my last post on this thread:

A pair of male bearded dragons:
mine has a gray back and orange-ish sides and head and
husband's is mostly red with some orange and gray striping.

Mine is 2 mos older than the other and quite ravenous
the other is easy-going and lazy.
Their names?
Respectively:
Terrasque and Fred.

She is an AQUADIC GODDESS, immortal!



hehehe we have around 60 fish in our 3 fish tanks....and we've only named ONE, and he only got his name because he survived the worst case of fish disease Ive ever seen a fish go through, and not only did he survive, but he rose above it all and flourished.

His name:

MozY
btw: he's now 2.5 yrs old!and HUGE and fantastic!
Names pinemom, but my friends call me "Piney".

Detour; aka, Detourous Doggus, Ms. D, D-Dog, (and when she was a puppy, many years ago, the Destructo Dog, creator of the shelf of headless objects, including the white queen, a black pawn, and a Virgin Mary night-light)

Trigger, also known as Ms. T, and Triggernometery.

Microphone Hiss Kitty; otherwise called Mike. (12 toes, no tail)

Johnson #1. (That is the name he came with, from the shelter, and it has served him well.)

The fish, out in the pond, don't have names. Everytime I name one, it dies.
