Penelope?

[imeothanasis]

no problem rw. I dont see a reason for you to feel bad. And dont compare yourself with mwa! lol

Sorry for starting such a troll-mentality driven thread like this. I'm not trying to be a whiny bittch, I just don't like change and the thought of spending another several hundred on your newest invention, because I know I'm going to
Thanks for your explanation Imeo, and even though you haven't totally change my opinion, I have newfound respect for your reasoning behind the name and I'm in a better place of acceptance over it.
Again...sorry for kveching. I don't want to get "mwa"d for going onto YOUR forum and insulting your creative decision, that was pretty rude of me. I still think Bacchus would be cooler, but I'm just a drunk like that, so what do I know?

 

[rwechsler]

That's the first time I've ever seen you acknowledge his existence, something doesn't seem right about that ahahhahaah

 

[rwechsler]

But thank you Imeo

 

[silverrocks]

penelope will be always faithfulness to the power that proteus will give her by pushing his button. Also penelope will be the queen on the head of the proteus rw

I love Penelope; My parents almost named me that; wish they would have. I am all for Penelope. Great name and great story.

 

[silverrocks]

Haha - no I don't - but I do like masculine names - especially for Gods and Warriors. Generals too, etc, etc. It is a male dominated world as it should be.

Is it, or are we tricking you to believe so

 

[rwechsler]

It is. I won't comment any further, but there's plenty of empirical evidence that proves that the world is run and dominated by men. But there's a line in the 40 year old virgin that I don't know if the rules allow me to post, but it has something to do with putting something on a pedestal...which is a pretty compelling argument....

Not to be funny here silver - but who built the pyramids, parthenon, colliseum, sphynx, Eiffel Tower, Empire State Bldg, etc, etc, fought the wars and the list goes on and on.

In these new times everyone wants to be considered equal and the same - however, they are not. Men and women each have their own strengths and weaknesses, but where would we all be if it had been up to the women to build the world and fight the wars. They are not so equipped to handle that sort of manual labor. Nor should they be expected to.

IMHO most women rock and men mostly are jerks.......

But I'm a sensitive and caring hippie so what do I know?

That's a pickup line if there ever was one. Ripple, are you cruising ECF with that line?

 

[critterbug]

Imeo will call his creations whatever suits him. Some people will like it - others will not. To ask RW if he's a homophobe or misogynist is not very tactful. While we are at it - I don't care for the name Penelope either - does that make me bad too? No, its just my opinion. Will it keep me from buying one? No.

I've always favored clarity over tact. I leave diplomacy to the guileful male realm.

<sarcasm>Just as long as it's not named after an exemplary black slave, I'm ok with it. </sarcasm>

In all seriousness, though, getting upset about a name because it's feminine rather than masculine does imply that you have some gender issues. And you guys are missing out on some rich, delightful stories in your selective reading of greek mythology. Over and out.

I wouldn't know a pickup line from a hole in the ground!!!!! <-----painfully RL shy....

And if it was I can tell you honestly there has been nary a taker in two years!!!

 

[martinc]

Now that the name is settled,what will be its nickname?

Penny?

Where pray tell did I say I was upset. I stated I didn't care for it. I did get upset over asking RW if he was a homophobe or misogynist. This is a prime example of twisting words around to suit oneself. A certain gender is known to be a master of that.

 

[RippleInStillWater]

To me the only thing Penelope brings to mind is this one, sorry, Imeo.....

If there's a female troll meme, I'll leave it up to somebody else to post a link to it. I'm not upset about the fact that it's a female name, in fact I think Artemis or even Athena would great names. Penelope doesn't have the same immediate connotations to Greek mythology as other names do. And anyways, there have been numerous greek, roman, and old testament myths about black (well more like middle eastern and moorish, but black none the less) slaves who got some serious shiit done and are more than deserving of Imeo's newest creation being donned with their namesake.

Zogem, I'm just tryin to say there are plenty of gods, and I hope imeo makes a lot of products. I don't care what the hunk of metals name is, If she vapes well, I will love her and name her Matilda and get her name tattooed on my arm, then when she is replaced with Kendra I will cross off her name and get Kendra under it. And at the end of my life I hope I run out of space to tattoo names on my body, and at my wake I will be naked and every one will know my vaping lovers names. And they will be buried with me. It will be glorious.

Is that how it's pronounced, Penelope, with a long e? Oh my that is different, hmmm. I thought maybe the o was long, or the Pene was said with a long e, sounds masculine.

But seriously GGPP just sounds nuts. Gee gee pee pee,
GG2P, umm nope,
GGP2, na.
GGPx2, maybe,
but not GGx2P

 

[Huffelpuff]

And I will love him and kiss him and call him George

 

[rwechsler]

GGPP is just ridiculous sounds. I don't want to have anything in my mouth with nomenclatural connotations to pissing.

For the record, I think that Proteus is an epic name.
