JynxKites Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Damn and me being the new guy with 2 1.5 SLE's I cant even get a shot at this can ? Sad part is the lime green part reflects a lymphoma theme I have been wanting. And the SUL would fit my new Rev bag so well! Geno- You're better off without it! You and Brett would probably just get your kites all mixed-up! Better you stick to a color other than lymphoma green, anyway! As you know, Rev Obsession is quickly developing into Rev Depression! Glad to be getting out of here for a fly in January and February! If not before, see you in spring at Vet's! or Rainbow! Let's see what (if) I learn at the TI clinic! Take care of yourself!

Jeepster Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 John, The SUL arrived safe and sound ... thank you again. The contest was fun and the fact that I now have a special kite makes it even better. I haven't named kites in the past ... seems that "the vented one" or "the purple one" has worked okay. But, Choccy asked what I was going to name this kite, so I began to think about a name. The fact that this one is accented in lime suggests it needs a proper British name ... and the fact that it's lighter than it's fellow Revs brought a certain name to mind. But, then I pulled the kite out of the bag and set it up. The first thought was that with all the sheer white material, this kite could have been ordered out of a "Victoria's Secret" catalogue. Sheer, white with a tease of lime, satiny and sexy looking, probably a little naughty and barely controllable, but still again very proper! Calling it the "white one" would be too common and crass ... "Victoria" seems to suit it well. So, "Victoria" it is! Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepster Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 John B, Now here is an example of the torturous silent treatment. Things are okay if they're yelling at you.

Choccy Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 The fact that this one is accented in lime suggests it needs a proper British name ... Nothing British about this Co. name. (It's American so Google tells me). I don't see the connection, sorry. RS67man "I am sure Choccy will give it the stamp of approval" Nothing to do with me. Think you'll find ppl who have been flying a lot longer than myself have been naming their kites. Enjoy your new kite. PS an example of a British name could have been Diamond White (well it's consumed a lot here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor99 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I believe Jeepster was referring to the practice of British sailors to take lime juice with their grog. The benefit was of course that they got their vitamin C and thus avoided scurvy. Hence limies is a mildly derogatory nickname for 'thee and me' - Brits. Boats have names, cars have names, children have names, even bicycles have names! So why not kites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choccy Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 It's 'Pudders' who has a 'problem' with ppl naming their kites. BTW I have not named my new midvent....yet..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor, If received even as a "mildly" derogatory term, then my apologies mate. If it wouldn't have been for a couple of Brits fooling around a number of generations ago, my branch in the tree of life would be missing. Actually there seems to have been lots of fooling around in all of Great Britain in my background. So simply can't have negative feelings on my part. As to naming a kite ... hmmmm. Scientists have been going on forever naming and cataloging and retaining everything they stumble upon. We name our kids 'cuz calling them "hey you third child" gets to be a little time consuming. And roads 'cuz "the four lane from London to Leicester" gets a little cumbersome when giving directions. But with kites it seems to start so innocently. First it's just "the kite." Then it becomes "the vented" kite and the "non-vented" kite. Then you add "the SUL" kite. It's only after awhile that one finds themselves with long names like "the gold vented amateur-series" kite 'cuz the damn things seem to breed when left alone in a kite bag. I'm sure a mid-vent is the by-product of a vented and a non-vent fooling around in the kite bag. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more like calling a mate your mucker, or the term SWMBO for that other mate. A little poke in the ribs by way of friendliness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had snow and bitter cold last week with a steady rain today. Ground's frozen, so the rain and melting snow is simply making a mess of everything. Can't take a lady out in pig muck like this.
