Pet-names for you gear?

Ya me too:

86 Ric - Das Rickenklanker
Olivo's - Olive Oils #13/#11 (By serial number)
Larivee Fretless - The De- Natured Boy (Bugs Bunny influence)
81 Dean ML - That damned pointy stick (poked one too many guitards, not necessarily a bad thing)
Fender Geddy Lee - Uh nothing yet, too new, any suggestions?
08 Gibson Brimstone Explorer - The Exploder
08 Gibson Brimstone V - just the V, ain't got anything better yet
And of course there's the Mesa 400+ all tube head, with Trace 4X10/1X15, simply referred to as THE BOOG. As in "Don't make me break out the boog" It's the amp that keeps the guitards in line
 
tigger, baby, and thump. in that order
