TAnchorman would like to thank Tanker War Blog for allowing me to host and judge the KC-30 naming contest. It is a high honor and I take the responsibility to run a fair competition very seriously.
Remember the rules for the contest are simple:
1) Suggested names must be brief, no more than two short words. (No EADS you don't get extra credit of longer names or words that carry more vowels. So please stop having your Senator write us demanding changes to our RFP.)
2) Entrants are encouraged to include a brief explanation for their idea if needed.
3) Entries should be in the spirit of good humor. Keep it classy!
4) All entries must be received by 11:59 PM EST 31 May 2008.
Here are some noteworthy of the submissions received to date:
the DeGaull Bladder
the Corkerel (This is the French national bird also known as the Gallic Rooster)
the Scarebus
the Parisian Peacock
the Flying Subsidy
the FODzilla (FOD is Foreign Object Debris. The implication being it is big and will fall apart.)
the Tankosaurs
Best Tanker Ever (TAnchorman comments: This submission has been disqualified as it is too long and not believable enough)
the Petrosaurs (The Pterosaurs was a flying dinosaur)
the Mockingbird (Since we will surely be mocked for our stupidity in buying it)
the Bloated Emu (Flightless bird that has EU in the name)
the Flying Frog
the French Fly or French Fry
the Albatross
the Outsource
Keep the submissions coming........
