I see. As a result of a poorly executed Bananas in Pajamas joke, I now have to deal with floating fruit ferries. 'Nanaimo: Your job just got a lot harder.
More fruit? I'm glad I'm not a staff member. Sometimes I wonder what we've come to. Then I read the posts from last year, about too many kids and magic green leaves. Then I feel happy that I joined when I did, because I sure dodged a bullet.

I object to the fact that there is not a separate thread devoted to the brainstorming of fruit names...

Raisin Sauce?
Have you tasted Raisin Sauce Fluge? I just haven't, but it might be appropriate, only, I suspect, if you really don't like a new ferry... in this case the CR...

I think that we should wait for the Super "C"s, most other ships received thier name either after they proved themselves as Lemons or good and the others tend to have gotten thier names based on the Nickname of the City they are from.

If any member changes their forum username to "Coastal-Teen", then his/her IP will be banned !
(just kidding)
It's interesting to see the "Coastal" brand catching-on on this forum, with some of our usernames.
So when the new ships are given their nicknames, based on their actual quirks and eventual history, then I'm sure that those ship nicknames will follow onto this board as member user-names too.

I'm "COastal Unconsciouness" now.
Pretty much inevitable.
Anyway, I would tend to veer from Lemon in a name, unless a plural "Coastal Lemons" for the Pacificats (has that been suggested already...)

re ferry nicknames: Would a vessel that is similar to, but smaller than, the Kuper be known as the "Mini-Kuper" ?

Coastal Indigestion.
And what's wrong with the Kuper being known as the Mini Kuper?

Post by Mike C on Jan 13, 2007 17:28:01 GMT -8
How about the Kup-holder? Say it over again in your head. Has a nice ring to it.

If we choose that. We have to pronounce the Kup part, Koop.
With all the Coastal Sickness names I Can't Resist putting Pepto Bismol into this...[EDIT: Again]
Coastal Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion, Upset Stomach, Diarrhea Coastal Pepto Bismol!

And for some reason I can't hear "Queen of Capilano" without thinking "Queen of Cappucino." Don't ask why, I don't know.
