Hi Suz- you are very kind but Igloo is just fine. Perhaps the "CommandoCasita"??

More names
I was thinking of naming my "new" '95 Scamp "Eggbert".
I am not sure yet if it is a boy or a girl though.
Also I wonder if Eggbert is an overused name??
Does anyone have any other ideas?
I am not hauling dogs, but I will be attending fiddle contests, bluegrass festivals and jam sessions. I play the fiddle and upright bass.

Actually I think the plural of Charles must be "Wonder Persons", but then no one ever said I was shy, or self effacing.
And Janiffer, if you are pulling a yellow trailer with a yellow escape, I might think of a double name,, "One Pat and Two Pat" ( think butter, for frying eggs in when your cholestrol is down) Since one is easily two times the size of the other.
Come to think of it , if we aren't too down on the French, Blossom might try "Un neuf dogs" which as I recall(spelling excepted) means "one egg dogs", in a bilingual sort of way.

Sue< again a double naming, if your tow vehicle has the color or personality for it , Trailer" Blue Eggs" with the Tow vehicle named "Jam"
Thus you become "Blue Eggs and Jam"
Wow. Maybe I better start getting more sleep, I just get worse.

Phil, I think Commando is much more appropriate if you use that net thing a lot. .

I'll have to think about that double pat thing . Charlie. maybe piddy pat. At one time the Escape was Daisy so that's how Buttercup came about, especially with her looking like a dish of butter. Daisy never stuck, but Buttercup did

( you don't know if it's a girl or boy yet. ) I don't know any other Eggberts. or you could use the music box or the Jute box.
Ooohh Blue eggs and Jam - Green eggs and ham + Jam sessions. I got it finally.


... Meggabyte that's unusual and has personality You people are good.

-- how about Egg-Tute (better for a classical trumpet player maybe) as in Etudes.

Does the upright bass fit in your egg? When I played upright in school it used to really depress me that I'd never own a sports car. Now I drive an SUV and don't play the bass (the cello on occassion) -- oh well, that's the way things go.

Names and brakes
Charlie C, actually my tow vehicle of the moment is a dark green 3/4 ton GMC van that we call the Green Machine. "Green Eggs and Jam"...............too bad the Scamp is not green too.

Jana, "Music Box" is pretty cute.

Jane, "Egg-tute" ???? I don't know how well the bass will fit in the 16' Scamp. It will fit in the tow vehicle for sure.
Actually my egg is brand new to me and I have not even taken it on its maiden voyage yet. I still have to get a plug in on my van and maybe trailer brakes.
Does anyone know, will I need electric brakes with such a big tow vehicle?

Sue: In Texas I think you are required brakes with any trailer over 2000 lbs. It is the trailer not the tow vehicle that sets the limit.
But on the other hand, I would not tow any load over 1000 lbs without brakes on the trailer. Better to stop than not.
I know some of us think of our little eggs as bubble light , but that bubble can push you down a hill a lot faster and harder than you want. Especially when your tow vehicle brakes start fading from heat. I have also used trailer brakes to stop the "trailer wag" that a passing 18 wheeler started when I was running too fast.

Good Morning all
There already is an Egbert. His website is: http://personal.atl.bellsouth.net/d/j/djroach/

We considered the Green Eggs and something for our green trillium but could never figure out what to make the something.

Jane: When you get your egg I sugest naming it "GGE ENO"
Have it printed on the front where you can see it from your tow vehicle.
As a later thought I realized you can pronounce it "jeno"

Charlie C: Thanks, I didn't know that the need for trailer brakes was dependent on the weight of the trailer and not on the weight of the tow vehicle. Your advice sounds good. I'll add trailer brakes to my to-do list.

Sue:
In my bad old days when I used to tow trailers that out classed and out weighed my tow vehicle I often would reach down and use the trailer brakes to stop the whole rig. A couple of trips through the Apalachans and one summer hanging out in the Rockies you start to really worry about brakes and weight.

Hey! Everyone will think I'm one of the brilliant people who worked on human genom project, not just a sorry little computer programmer.

I've been trying to think of what could be a mix of kerry blue terriers and egg -- but I haven't thought of anything yet, so GGE ENO it might be. Unfortunately I still have plenty of time to think about it.

I'm getting The Beast out of storage next week. Might as well use it as long as I've got it!

Jane: actually the name "GGE ENO" will only work for you and must be lettered on the front of the trailer where you can see it in the rear view mirror. I think it is best pronounced "Jeno".

Suz

You like picking names and I'm in need of a name. Our tow vehicle is an orchid coloured 55 Chevy called Devil or Angel. They are sometimes refered to as shoeboxes. So our shoebox will be pulling an egg, and we need a name for that egg. Anyone else chime in too. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

I have it !! I have been off to two dog shows camping along the way. I have decided to name my little "egg". Julene's Boston Bungalow..... I have a website called JulenesBostons, and I do like the name bungalow as I remember them well from the Northeast and my childhood... The name is written like the legs on a rocking chair, as it it is rocking down the road....What do you think? Julie

names
I'm going to call ours tardis, if it's not taken yet.
For those of you who aren't sci-fi buffs, do a search for DR. Who on BBC television.

Our egg is bigger inside than out, and it takes us to many weird places

Devil or Angel and Cloud 9
Hi Barbara

Since you already have Devil or Angel - how about Cloud 9 to go with it?

You always hear when something wonderful happens that a person is on Cloud 9.
