Gpsr Nicknames, Does Yours Have One?

July 27, 2004

Just wondering if anyone has named their GPSr

July 27, 2004

Well, I don't know if they would count as nicknames, but I've called mine a few things that I can't repeat here in the forums... :rolleyes:

July 27, 2004

My kids call it 'the pointer'.

It usually goes something like this:

Emily: Dad, can I hold the pointer?

Katie: I want to hold the pointer.

Emily: I asked first.

Katie: You held it last time.

Emily: did not.

Katie: did too.

Emily: did not.

(Katie pinches Emily)

Emily: Dad, Katie pinched me.

Katie: Did not.

Emily: Did too.

(Emily pinches Katie)

etc...

July 27, 2004

I can't say because to reveal it's name would rob it of it's soul.

Isn't he the little boy that lives inside your mouth (yelling, "redrum, redrum!")?

Two little old ladies outside the Home:

"Dear, let's get up and take a little walk down the hall."

"Why, Honey, are you thirsty?"

"Thursday, dear? No, it's Friday."

Nope, none. Just gps, and frankly, I'm a little worried about some of you. :rolleyes:

Ya me too, I just wanted to see how many sick people there are out there!

My GPS, since N5PNE obviously cannot read it correctly. Everytime he carries it we get LOST and end up spending an hour looking for a 1/1 in a place that isn't even the correct coordinates. But I do love him anyway :rolleyes: I have control issues.........can you tell?

No nickname.

But at variouse times it's been a hammer & tire stop, plus it helps confirm that the fish aren't biting.

July 27, 2004

Nope. Neither does my car, phone, chainsaw, or cat.

Well, maybe the chainsaw. :rolleyes:

I have not named mine but my wife once caled it a thingamajig.

When I tripped and rolled down a hill she asked is the thingamajig ok? :rolleyes:

Well, I suppose it depends on whether or not I find the cache . . .

Find the cache - GPS = GPS :rolleyes:

Don't find the cache - GPS + *&%!, @#*^ and *$%!

Happy caching and stuff! :rolleyes:

my GPSr does not have a name. nor does my car, my guitars, nor any of my bikes. i naturally regard with suspicion any person that names these things, and i am esecially suspicious of people who refer to them by these names conversationally. doubly so if they use terms like "the love of my life" to describe an object.

my only exception to this rule was the one friend whose car ( an ancient gigantic white boat of a car) was named moby.

July 28, 2004

My car: Juanita

My GPSr: Cuz (it's a 60cs and somehow my team mates translated CS into cuz. The name stuck). It's kind of funny to hear one of them shouting, "How far does cuz think the cache is?"

July 28, 2004

Butch...the Mapopolis man....come on you know he sounds like his name should be Butch.

I actually haven't named inanimate objects, but when Vermont issued me the license plate 6A666 (totally at random), my Land Rover was dubbed "The Antichrist" by my friends, and has retained that moniker for the last 18 years.

I can't imagine naming my GPSr.

July 28, 2004

I call my geko "my geko". As in "Didn't find the cache. A nearby neighbor was staring at me over his back fence, clearly wondering why I was wandering around in the woods behind his house with my geko in my hand".

July 28, 2004

While I was caching last Fri during the solar storms, it was called P.O.S. a few times. :laughing:

Sounds like maybe you need a new one.....wife, that is. :laughing:

Jips.

I almost forgot about that one.

My father dub our Magellan 2000 "Jips" many moons ago.

Over the last year or so we've been calling the GPS, "The Device"

Two weeks ago I went out caching with my niece and she called it the "Jips", we've since re-adopted that term.

BTW, I'm glad to see so many cachers use curse and swear words for their GPS, all along I thought the missus was directing them towards me. :laughing:

I have thought of calling my GPS the Liahona

In a book somewhere The Liahona was a faith based Ancient GPS Navigation(GOD based), that would orient the people in the right direction for the promised land, and if they lost faith, it would not point in the right direction. In the book, the Liahona was a brass ball with a pointer.

Sometimes I feel that way too, if my GPS is not leading me to the right spot because I have lost faith.

July 28, 2004

Tee hee. I call mine 'my unit'. It gets an occasional laugh, from cachers and non-cachers alike.

I affectionately call mine Boe-Boe.

July 28, 2004

My daughter calls it... "treasure finder".

When I take my friends kids or my mentally handicapped buddy out its the "treasure finder", other than that its my Tool....
