Name the Plant: Results
Here's where I'll tell you what the name of the plant is.
Wow. That was a great reaction to the contest. I'm glad you all have taken such an interest in what I name my plant. It occurs to me how much not only I love this plant, but guys all love it just as much. Some of you may love it even a little more, judging from your enthusiastic reactions (noisia).
Choosing was no easy task. There were many good names. I was particularly keen on PLANTOR THE DESTROYER, but the general consensus here at the thingsihate studios was that my plant doesn't really look like a destroyer. Planty the Plant was nice. It's descriptive, it's fun-loving -- it's what I'd name my plant if my plant were a cartoon character with its very own Saturday morning television program. Unfortunately, it is not a cartoon character and it does not have a television program. Vegetor, Photosynthesis Deluxe, something about walruses... you guys gave it your all, and I know that in a time of crisis I can count on each and every one of you.
So which one did I pick? Well the winning suggestion comes from alptraum with his suggestion of "Planthony." Planthony. Heh heh. That just cracks me up. It was a tough call between that, Stemily Dickinson and Leaf Erikson. Those last two, I think, just might be funnier, but Planthony doesn't remind me of sappy, strangle-worthy poets and I don't think it's quite imposing enough to be a viking.
Listen to me. Still referring to the plant as "it." What I should say is "he." He is no viking. He is Planthony. And you guys haven't seen or heard the last of him, I promise.
alptraum, I'll be in touch about your prize. Now! Let's have us an after-contest comment party, hey!
