	Unit names - Monty style! Full PM-box? Change here!

As promised...
We have lots of dull names, like "Worker", or "Musketeer". That's very...

So how about we bring in some new ideas for names? For example, in this very thread. No, you don't have to. Yes, it would be fun if you could make something up.

I go first (sorry, not much of a creative surge today, only workers names):

• Completely Useless Worker
  
• Bicycle Repair Man
  
• Superman, The
  
• Architect, The

And of course, the "Holy Grail", to do the fake-trade joke in a couple turns.



----------------------------------------------------

A list of collected names, so we don't forget things and don't double anything. The used ones are written in italics:

• Completely Useless Worker
  
• Bicycle Repair Man
  
• Superman, The
  
• Architect, The
  
• Biggus Dickus
  
• Incontinentia Buttocks

• Bwian
  
• Ex-parrot
  
• The Spanish Inquisition (this one for an army)
  
• Killer Rabbit
  
• Big Foot, The
  
• Flying Circus, The
  
• Rubberboy
  
• Sgt. Pepper
  
• Woodjack
  
• Living organ donator, The
  
• guy who created Brians sandals, The
  
• guy who killed the animal to get the leather for Brians sandals, The (this name is a bit too long )
  
• guy who made the bow for the guy who killed the animal to get the leather for Brians sandals, The (this one even more so )
  
• Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern schplenden schlitter crasscrenbon fried digger dingle dangle dongle dungle burstein von knacker thrasher apple banger horowitz ticolensic grander knotty spelltinkle grandlich grumblemeyer spelterwasser kurstlich himbleeisen bahnwagen gutenabend bitte ein urnburger bratwustle gernspurten mitz weimache luber undsfut gumberaber shonedanker kalbsfleisch mittler aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm (and THIS name is plain old crazy )

Okay this was dragged from the abyssal depths of the forum.....
But for Modo'S benefIt I thought I might reintroduce Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crasscrenbon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle-dongle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer-spelterwasser-kurstlich-himbleeisen-bahnwagen-gutenabend-bitte-ein-urnburger-bratwustle-gernspurten-mitz-weimache-luber-undsfut-gumberaber-shonedanker-kalbsfleisch-mittler-aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm.

Since the name is obvoiusly wayyyyyy too long, I suggest we use individual words for naming the units. It would be a great tribute to Johann Gambolputty... de von Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crasscrenbon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle-dongle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer-spelterwasser-kurstlich-himbleeisen-bahnwagen-gutenabend-bitte-ein-urnburger-bratwustle-gernspurten-mitz-weimache-luber-undsfut-gumberaber-shonedanker-kalbsfleisch-mittler-aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm.

A man worthy of a monument, indeed. His name might account for all the ones we need, ever.

That's how we should name our giant stack of units - one of Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern schplenden schlitter crasscrenbon fried digger dingle dangle dongle dungle burstein von knacker thrasher apple banger horowitz ticolensic grander knotty spelltinkle grandlich grumblemeyer spelterwasser kurstlich himbleeisen bahnwagen gutenabend bitte ein urnburger bratwustle gernspurten mitz weimache luber undsfut gumberaber shonedanker kalbsfleisch mittler aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm's middle names for each one.

The name for the stack would probably become messed up over time. Is that bad?

Oh, no, what have I done!? Now I'll have to do all the renaming.

Here's another idea -

Some of our original warriors were named for figures in the Arthurian legend. Most have either been disbanded or have been killed. We could use the names again...

King Arthur
Guinevere
Uther Pendragon
Mordred
Knights of the Round Table
Lancelot
Galahad
Tristan
Gawain
Percival
Bors
Merlin
Morgan le Fay
The Green Knight

Uh, not to be picky, but technically, Merlin is reserved. You know, there is that tower in Siege Perilous, where our Great Mage Merlin does all the wondereful research.

I thought that was Tim the Enchanter.

Ann Elc is the Thoerist (ahem), that is to say, the person who comes up with an theory that is hers which she has done. (ahem ahem)Ann's theory by Ann suggest that Brontosaurus (no he didn't) start really thin get alot wider at the middle then taper off at the tail. That was Annes theory that (shut up) was suggested by (shut up) ann and presented by (why won't you please shut up) Ann and explain by Ann elc (An Elk -where!?!). Was that not fascinating??? What no!?!. I wasted all that bloody time explaining some haggered old sketch and none of you festering disgusting morons are going to say anything are you?

Well goood Bye!!!!!!

Oh no! Now he has a split personality as well. Is it Tim, or is it Merlin? Oh, no.



That's what happens, if you try to do diplomacy, without knowing all necessary facts... Silly me, thought I could get away with that.
