How 'bout some help folks? I was wondering if anyone would like to help me come up with a name and a paint color for my new old saw!

I am kind of old fashioned, so like a boat name, it should sound female.

As for color, I'm game to anything except black, it's just too dark.

We'll do a poll later to see what everyone thinks.

Thanks all,

Fatty

how about painting it your favorite color?

As for a name... I have many that come to mind, but like the color, I think you should name it your favorite name, or name it after the person that gave it to you (or the person's wife, if you want it female).

i guess i am old fashioned too as far as color, Lortone Blue would be my choice. then you could call her "Bluebell" or "Babe" (like the Blue Ox).

then again, "Big Burtha" kinda fits, too! ;D

Okay, here's what you do. Paint the saw like a milk cow, black with white spots or white with black spots. The crank on the side is the tail, and you name her Elsie.

You could go the pink pig route, painting the wheels black (don't know the color of pigs feet), the crank is still the tail and call it BOSS HOG.

With apologies to The Police she even has a theme song. You will probably need to add a red light in the workshop. I'm not sure about color.

What a bunch of great suggestions, "Rocksanne" is just killing me though *lol*
Did anyone see that episode of Saturday Night Live with Sting stuck in an elevator with the guy who kept belting out mangled bars of Roxanne, I thought I was gonna die, whole family was rolling around on floor over that one.

All great names an colors! I love "Rocksanne", thats a good one and I wish I'd seen that episode of SNL. That had to be a hoot.

I'm reading the posts and having a great laugh at the thoughts of the names for that saw. Thanks everyone for the input, this is just plain fun!

Sincerely,

Fatrichie
