--- Quote from: Penthesilea on October 27, 2007, 11:47:57 am ---My husband bought a GPS. We used it for the first time when we went on our vacation a few weeks ago. My husband asked me to name the GPS system (the female voice in it). His collegue had named the voice Claudia, after the receptionist of their company.
We were driving through our neigbour village when we talked about that. And we drove another way than the GPS suggested. The femal voice continued to say we should drive to the right at the next crossroads. And at the next, and the one after this one, and so on. The female voice just wouldn't shut up.
It was easy then to name it: we now have our own LaShawn ;D.

Perfect name Chrissi. Good job... :laugh: :laugh:

Well, this isn't a "brokieism", but ......
The bank I work for uses this time of year to raise money for March Of Dimes. They do it by selling paper pumpkins, and call it "pick a pumkin". Small ones are $1.00, big ones are $5.00.
So, I went into two different branches, and I got 2 big pumpkins, and on one, wrote "Jack Twist" and on the other "Ennis Del Mar" and asked that they be put side by side when they are hung up.
I recently went into the two branches recently, and in both of them, there are the JT and EDM pumpkins, side by side, taped to the wall.
;D

That's really awesome Chuck! Great idea and thanks for telling us about this. :)

Great idea Chuck......
I remember a couple of years ago, Truman (Shakes) wrote about a similar thing.....where people bought pavers or bricks dedicated to someone special....and he bought two for our "special boys"....they were laid on a walkway to a museum or library.....
I cant remember all the details now, except for the wonderful sentimental gesture of it, that needs no explanation where Truman is concerned....
If you are reading this Tru, tell us about it again, and post the pictures again.

Love that CellarDwellar. That was a cute gesture for our boys :)
