July Contest - Name the XL Guy

It's just a logo for Christ's sake!

I don't understand why it has to be called anything other than what it is - a logo.

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Oh, lighten up. Besides, it's kind of a "mascot" as well as a logo.

A.) Lots of businesses have mascots that they name. 7up had their little dot guy, "Dot." Just about every sports team has some sort of mascot that has a name.

2.) It's fun.

Coincidentally, I just managed to remind myself that I've got a HUGE stuffed version of that 7up thing. Wearing a Santa hat. I think he's still at my parent's house, but I won him in some drawing at the grocery store years ago. I was like 8 or 10 or something like that.

*sigh* :smile:

At any rate, maybe Celie?
 


I thought dpsl's comment was quite humorous - perhaps you should "lighten up".

The naming of inanimate objects does provide for some interesting possibilities.
For instance, if I were to name my notepad "Fanny" and my pencil "****", I could say that I can write on my Fanny with my ****.

I thought it had more of an "exasperated with the whole thing" kind of tone, but maybe it's just me.

Besides, I wasn't trying to chastise him for it or anything, sheesh :roll:

:wink:

...and this even more entertaining in the international sense of the word "fanny".
 
Either he's got a big butt or...know what, nevermind. I'm not going completely down to that level. Maybe later :wink:

At any rate, that would be a very talented guy. Unless you're using someone else's that you still call "my ****"...

Anyone else remember the old Mason Williams song about the Prince who named everything with "different" names, simply because he was the prince and could? I don't remember all the names he used but the punchline of the song was that he had named his dogs panties because they panted a lot. One day the dogs turned on him, chased him up against a garden wall and "the Prince was eaten by his panties".
