Erg Names?

[[old] PaulS]

Canoeists post in the "Horseplay" thread got me thinking (Pretty tough thing to accomplish, so BRAVO!), it's common to name the Boats that we Row, but I've never seen an Erg treated this way. Perhaps it's because the relationship is too fleeting in most cases, but it sure seems like there are many out there that have a very long term thing going with their machine, so how about it?<br /><br />If you were to Name your Erg, what would the name be?<br /><br />

For reasons that utterly escape me, one of my daughters has named the family erg "Bartholomew." <br /><br />Porkchop

I refer to mine as a medieval torture instrument.

Nemesis.

[[old] Andrew Burrows]

Mine is simply called "The Boat".

I should come up with something a bit more affectionate.<br /><br />Rick

Arrgh! Seat5 beat me to it. My erg is also >Nemesis<. I keep thinking about a decal to put on the flywheel cover that would look like a life-preserver from the Titanic; >HMS Nemesis< in a circle.

evil rowing gadget. I hear it call to me. Much the same way the sofa calls to me. I guess I would have to be honest and say I call it Sir cause I can't whoop it. Not yet at least.
