I have named your stairs
 
If you don't have any in your home, tough.

From the entrance level, stairs that go up shall be named thusly:

1: Potato
2: Duck
3: Musketeer
4: Skin
5: Alive
6: Sex
7: Down
8: Snowman
9: Cat
10: Der
11: Legs
12: Eggs
13: monster

...And stairs that go down.....

1: Day
2: Laxative
3: Imelda
4: Tune
5: Vwls
6: T9
7: Reflex
8: Infinite
9: No
10: Boris
11: Oneteen
12: Poodles
13: Hand Basket

If you have 14+ stairs in any one flight, you are weird and live in a lighthouse and all remaining stairs are called Bob. Except for that one.

You've solved my problem before I recognized it.

This checks out. I know a guy who used to work in this field.

You don't wait for a cut before buying a bandaid, good to have this information in your bug-out bag. :thumb:

That's a much better stairs naming scheme than mine which bears only a slight resemblance to yours:

1: Potato
2: Potato
3: Potato
4:
5: Potato
6: Potato
7: Potato
More...

How can stairs be more than one syllable?

monster 07-21-2020 10:27 PM

Well, some of our stairs were not built by expert craftspeople such as yourself. Some identify as more than one syllable. Some are old. Some are so good one needs to linger on them or the memory of them lingers. Some dream of a life in politics. Some are in rooms that create echoes. And some are in The Southern States of the USA, where nothing has only one syllable.

Ayup.

Y'all need to work up a stand-up routine.

Carruthers 07-22-2020 04:21 PM

But did you hear the tragic story of the lighthouse keeper who ran up the stairs too fast and screwed himself into the ceiling? ;)

(Posting from a stair free zone BTW).

I haven't a clue!

Let's change the subject before it escalates.

It's crazy talk.

If I didn't know monster was a sane person, I'd think she was a crazy one.


And unless I see a picture of monster's stairs with those names painted on them, I will continue to think that it's just the result of a new strain of weed and an idle mind.

I don't name inanimate things. I'll name a plant, but that's about the extent of it.

Some folks name their cars. I find it pedantic. In not opposed to giving a car a title..... Something that starts with 'the'... The Road Beast, or The Sloth.... as it keeps things general enough so as not to be anthropomorphistic. Once you call a car Sylvester or Beula, you'll deal with guilt when you trade him or her in.

But yeah. This is just bullshit talk.

Don't worry.

monster 07-22-2020 07:00 PM

Those are the names of YOUR stairs, not mine. If I told you THEIR names I'd have to kill you like a hobo on 9/11

monster 07-22-2020 07:06 PM

beest named the "blue raspberry" Honda Fit Buxton (some Magic Roundabout reference...). Now that's Hebe's car and she referred to it as Buxton the other day, which made me smile. :)

The first car I really drove regularly was my Nana's red Renault 5 -very popular in the UK in the late 80s. I stole someone's joke (?maybe Ben Elton) to name it Clitoris.

Clodfobble 07-22-2020 07:52 PM

My best friend in high school named her car Bertha, but that was because it actually talked to her in a chiding woman's voice. Like instead of a warning ding, it would say "right door is open," or "key is in the ignition." It had several other 1970s pseudo-luxuries that were hilarious for two teens in the nineties.
