Even worse are the wankers who put those "joke" name plaques on their houses like "Didyabringyagrogalong".

Or those stupid Neighbourhood Watch signs. It doesn't give you the right to be a spying fuck or to call the police when we party until 3am. NO!

We should round them all up and make them live in a tin shed in the middle of the outback... And anyone with a "Magic Happens" bumper sticker on their car.

The naming of a house is a tradition from the dark ages if not earlier, where peoples estates were named and you'd send things to them by stating which estate they were at. Since then, addresses have been introduced, and with people staying at their residence for less time naming has gone out the window. Now only a few rare people actually name their houses, but most farms still go by their names.

i saw a cressida today (nice car btw :) ) but it had a sticker on the back that said "the goddess is dancing"
can we stick the driver of that car in the shed too, and i get the cressida? :)

try moving to newtown - every third car is driven by a raving lesbian out to tell the world how wonderful they're vaginas are. And how the world would be better off without men. chances are these cars have "the goddess is dancing", "magic happens", "Breathe", and "i eat carpet, and i vote" stickers plastered all over them
fark!!

And those losers with 'Berowra: somewhere in the Australian bush' stickers, and similar ones pertaining to coastal suburbs. I'm going to make a sticker for my car that says 'Hornsby Heights: Fuck off you pretentious wankers'

In addition to my previous post, I should also point out you are insulting many a zgeeker and resident of the original zhouse, current zhouse, zsecretlair, and zunit! You have made many an enemy now, stygian.
Cassa - Just get your hands on one of those "WANKERS: Everywhere on the NSW mid coast." stickers.
As for those "magic happens" stickers, they're true you know! It's magic that anyone who's stupid enough to believe in Wicca or any of that other crap can actually have enough brainpower to drive! You know, I actually saw one of those stickers on a car that did NOT have any dents! I almost fainted!

our house is 'the barn' because it really does look like one, my friend lives in a house that is a perfect cube shape, hence 'the cube'. And yes he is aware of the movie by the same name and yes he is crazy.

Adding a proper noun to something creates an emotional attachment with it, which means it's lodged deeper into the brain. We can't fault these fuck knuckles who go around naming their inanimate possessions (house, car, first born child), they just have genetically inferior mental abilities and probably have a sign next to their bed reminding them to shit before they shower

I nearly pissed myself reading that line.....
Most stickers are crap, ones of note in my mind are:
Bitch (or variation like crazy bitch etc)....
The Beast
Jesus
Child on board
If you can see this you are too close.
However, getting BACK ON TO TOPIC:
I think there is a difference between naming a house and nick naming a house.
A name like "The Royal Cocksmoke" which is what I think Styg objects to would actual address be include its name in the address. It is an official title and often pretenious.
A nick name is just a name known to a few, like Zhouse or the place I live at the moment (which we lovingly nick named "The Blaxland Hotel). That is different and fun.
Thats is my useless post on this topic....

How many times do I have to tell you, don't knock the sign!!! [shakes fist]

My grandmother still has the sign up on her place that my grandfather put up when they retired.....Dunmovin......fair call we thought cos he was station master on the railway and worked at probably 15-20 locations in his career.
My aunt and uncle moved into a place called which had a name on it already......Craigmoore I think it was....they thought it funny cos it contained my first name (yes that would be Craig) and thought it humourous to point out said fact everytime I visited.....lets just say after the first time is was very lame and I really got sick of it......could be another reason why I dont visit them anymore!

Thingy? Do you have a sign outside your house? Nope, then it's not named.
I guess it's ok for the older generation to name their house, if you're under 30 then your house has an address (and maybe an ip address too)....

Woah! Issues :p .
Seriously though, everyone has those stupid jokes that only get tired to the poor sod who has to wear it. What you REALLY NEED manshoon is a copy of WoW, just ask Stygy....

i think that a house where a group of people live is acceptable to be known by a name (ZHouse being a good example, The Swamp in M*A*S*H, etc) since the name actually is refering to the community that inhabit the place than the structure.
one of the few place i have lived that had a name was a community house in durham, n.c. we called the place "The Enterprise" - i'll let you guess how it got that moniker.

Everyone needs a copy of WoW. Even those of you that don't really play games. It is that fucking good. Easy to get into and just fun!

You lived with a bunch of dorks? lol, that's the pot calling the kettle black!

actually, no. a hippie, a lead guitarist, two djs, an accountant and the requisite hot chick that wouldn't sleep with any of us. the address, though, was 1701 roxboro road.

no NC so it doesnt count as the Enterprise......wait is it sad I actually know that!
As for WoW....Im working on it....my finiances arent the best at the moment so unless someone will donate me a copy it wont be happening too soon! (maybe I shouldnt have spent that $80 on books)

my parents have got a name plaque on their house but it's not used in the adress. At work we do a lot of money tranfers for british people emigrating to australia. Part of it includes their adress in the uk and most of them are fucking long and pointless, along the lines of
Davidson Farm House Cottage
Friars Lane
Tunbridge Cnr
Bristolmoore
Havensbury
Surrey
What the fuck?

On Loudwater Lane (Herts, England), all 100+ houses have names and none of them have numbers, i mean how the fuck are you supposed to find the one you are looking for? Getting a cab back from a party in one of those house's barns is always a nightmare, but you can't blame the cabbies for having no adea which house it is.

Only fag hats name their god damn house. Who can seriously be fucked coming up with a plaque to announce to the world that your house is called "Imagayfag". Get a life. Seriously.
If you refer to your house as something like "Fort Awesome," thats cool becuase yu just talk to your mates about it like that, but no need to announce to the world that you have named your house. Will they eventually have a section in the classifieds near the birth registers. I can see it "House Naming"
"We are pround to announce the arrival of "Imagayfag." It came into the world weighing just under 50 tonnes at 730am on the 3rd of March. We are such proud parents."
Then Hallmark will release a house naming card "Congratulations, its a house name!" Morons.

Kirribilli House, Yarralumla, Chequers, The White House....etc rarara..ad nauseum, Who fucking cares if someone names a fucking house. They name boats, trains, cars, dogs, their cocks, children etc rarara..ad infifuckingnitum. Names won't hurt you get it?. Who's announcing anything to the world?, 'IMAGAYFAG' just popped out did it?, like it was repressed or something???. You can't name a house but you can 'refer' to one as something?. Get on the logic bus son the stupid one's full up and you're the only passenger.
