Cut up some vehicle window reflectors.

 

[Shell]

just do it - $3 of foil, meth lab it up.
and take photo and post it

I'd only do half window too. The windows are divided in two- and the one on the right is the one that opens.

Curtains don't match the drapes?

Any of you UFC fans have a good enough eye to tell what fight this is a reaction to?

I think it's this. Same card as the Askren vs Jorge fight.

Good eye. I reckon you may be right.

You just may be the lunatic I'm looking for?

Darn good song, one of my all time faves of BJs.

My wife and I name some products in our house.

Our Robovac is called Rufus. We bought a Bissell Spot Cleaner which I've called Barry.

We have prints of a koala and a kangaroo who are named Kenny and Kevin.

I gave names to my cars, thats about it.

Harry was the Honda and... shit forgot the name of my current car. Freddie maybe.

I like the idea of giving proper human names to things, but I don't tend to do it much.

I do name my computers though. I'm typing this on Winston. My media server is named Archibald. My gateway is named Archer.

 

[Caesar]

My tower server is called Ivo Karlovic

What is the inspiration behind the names?

After months of brainstorming we came up with wagsie and turbie for the 2 cars.
Absolute genius

We used to have a spider live in a gap in the frame above the toilet door. He'd regularly just hang out on the wall in plain sight. I called him Barry one day and it stuck.

One time saw him in the downstairs room (basically other side of the wall) near another little spider. Who we called named "Frank" (or "Betty" as my daughter called her).

A few days later we found "Barry" on his back curled up on the floor under the toilet door. Frank/Betty was nowhere to be seen.

After a memorial service for Barry (may he float on that tissue through to the afterlife or whatever is on the other side of the flush!), we kind of forgot about them for a few weeks, (and we started getting white-tails around the house every rain).

Then one day my daughter casually mentions "Barry's back from holidays".

I'm pretty sure it's not Barry. (Just in case, I apologised and offered a fly as compensation)

"New Barry" isn't as friendly - he doesn't come out during the day and just sticks his legs out of his home/hole.

Yelled out "STRIKE 1" when I went past a baseball game today. I'm also the dickhead who yells "HOWZAT" at cricket matches and "HOLDING THE BALL" past footy games, even my son reckons I'm a dickhead

As a junior, used to hate the dickheads who yelled howzat out their car windows.

Then I became one.

I reckon I started "naming" computers back in the Windows 98SE days. I built a new tower (back when you'd go to a swap meet and buy everything individually for cash from possibly questionable purveyors) and kept the old one as a poor man's file server (Windows 98SE networking, LOL). So I starting doing it to make it easier to know which one I was referring to conversationally.

I choose formal English names because they amuse me. Doubly so when used for inanimate objects. I was a big fan of 1980's West Indian cricket names, Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards, etc.

My Wi-Fi connection is named with a nod to You Am I, Wi Fi Way.

I never have the volume on on my GPS/Maps - hate how it speaks over the music.
