Mine is "(In Recovery)". I am a database guy and the easiest way to say it is a database that is in recovery is getting everything sorted out so that it can get back to business. More detail here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191455.aspx
There's a guy that boasts on my lake system that named his first boat Soggy Dollars and his upgrade Even More Soggy Dollars. Depending on where I am at financially with my boat at that point in the season seeing his boat either makes me a little sad or gives me a chuckle.
I named my boat "CHARGED IT" All of my friends say that I have money......I tell them nope, sure dont but I got credit .....and plus my boat is supercharged so it works.... dont laugh at my horrible sticker job...I had to order another one LOL
Old girl: 2008 Sea-Doo 180 Challenger SE ... 'Sea Jane Run' ... aka 'Janie'
New girl: 2015 Yamaha 212x ... 'Sleepy Jean' ... aka 'Jeannie' ... named after The Monkee's hit, a meaningful song for our family. I did the design and technical... had local FastSigns put it on cut vinyl.
Happy wife - Happy life
I was looking at 18-19 foot boats, wife went for a ride in a 21 footer with big block and big sound system. She told me that night she wants a boat just like that one! Bought the very same boats 3 months later. So.... happy wife - Happy life

I took help from Facebook in the days prior to this site existing and my finding the other one. See, I am a patent attorney... 'Nuff said.

As in "The Boat". Because that's what we call it....the boat.
ALTHOUGH.......
Many moons ago we did a trip up to Shasta and the boat was actually christened by a bunch of drunk people....they left their mark on the stern platform as seen below:
