I would like the announce the arrival of Carl's aquatic friend to 131. While not as large as his land-lubing counterpart, he is at least 5 times as fierce. Those of you on campus should swing by to check it out. For the rest of you, pictures should be forthcoming shortly, assuming I can get my camera to work with Linux. Any suggestions of names will be appreciated and duly considered.
Cheers

I vote you call him "Eat's other dead stuffed animals for lunch". On the other hand, that's kind of long.

I suggest a name that honors the 'greats' associated with anthro and soc. since we already have Carl (which should be spelled Karl (Marx)) I suggest Max (Weber) or Clifford (Geertz) or Claude (Levi-Strauss)........or Killer, or Whitey, or S-dog, or Neddie (in honor of the missing duo)....or something not sissy...thats really all I care about- Caitlin

I like Caitlin's suggestion of Max, not so much because of the namesake, but because I think it would be funny to have the animals in 131 named Carl and Max. It makes it sound like there are old men in the room who are watching you. Or if people called and you said "Yeah, it's just me, Carl, and Max", they'd think you were having a cigar party or something. Then again, Carl and Max does sound a lot like "Karl Marx".
I appreciate the suggestion of Neddie, as well.
As for my own suggestions, I will throw in Von Ebinzegger, Munnuguchuck, and Lester Chesterton Buxworth IV, since those seem to be funny names. Or you could just use the name that's on that star right outside the common room window....

You know, I think the most fitting name would be to name it after the person it most resembles of our group of friends. I vote Eddie. Yeah, I think the shark looks like Eddie.

I like Max and Neddie. I was also considering Steve. A third option me and Jammy came up with a while back was inspired by 3 facts:
1) Charm thinks our taxidermy is weird and creepy 2) She's the one who reminded us to bid on the shark so really she's the whole reason why even have weird taxidermy in our room. 3) The shark came from England.
Combining these three observations suggests the name Charmston Charmingtonsworth. It's a little long, however. I'll have to mull over the name suggestions in the old noodle for a bit longer.

Yo dan, you made a decision yet? We should have a chrisening (or however the heck you spell it) party to welcome your new roommate 'officially' into the room. So pick a name already...or is the old noodle not working as well as it once did?

The ole' noodle is working just fine thank you very much. Jammy seems to be pushing for Charmston Higgles Bottomsworth III, Esquire. Or Charmston, for short. Additionally, the fish that Caitlin gave us has been dubbed Lafawnda.
