Writer's Block: Anthropomorphic buddies

[zianuray]

[Error: unknown template qotd] Oh heck yeah.  Every car I've owned has been named; the current one named herself. 

In order:  Loretta (red '76 Duster); Tina; PrettyBaby (a big blue land-yacht); CatShadow (silver/gray Merc Tracer); there was another big ol' blue tank (Abrams, as Daughter reminded me below) in there somewhere, forget what it was called, might be a good thing....; and the current lovely is Carmina.

I've a knife named "Ungrateful Child" (bonus points to whomever can give me the reference for that). 
TK, you should know this without having to think about it!

Oddly, the laptop is NOT named and I've had it 4 years!

Yup! Trust you to have it on tap :)

Yes, but I first learned it from a "Peanuts" comic strip where Linus quotes it! :D

Also, do you think they count stuffed animals for the Writer's Block question, or is that too obvious? Like, my cuddly raven is Edgar (duh) Matthew (for Morpheus's pet raven in the Sandman comics).

I would count it, as long as it isn't the name on the label from when it was in the store, or something totally marketed like "strawberry shortcake" for a StrShk doll.
