My computer tells me there are several different meanings for the word boob, boob as used in describing a breast is actually a colloquialism. Also Boob is a very common name in India, the station may be named after a famous Indian scientist, although none comes to mind at the moment;

That you automatically associate it with woman's anatomy is nothing but a reflection on yourself.

Also you have a problem with Mr John Thomas? There are a number of well known scientists around with that name, are you saying because they have that name they can't have a station in ED named after them?

As far as Gay Rights Junction, how is that not PC, if I understand your usage of that term correctly. And also how is that not a name that should appear in the game, although the gay rights issue may be settled in the year 3300+, knowing humans there's also a chance it may not be, it seems a perfectly viable name to me.

What about "Big Harry's Monkey Hangout", that's in game, is that an issue? Or "Gooch Terminal"? What about "Acokwang". that's ok you can wait until you have finished giggling for that one.

Personally I find nothing wrong about boob den, that's where all us idiots go to hang out.

Thanks to being an American and not having been all that familiar with British slang ... I named my son John Thomas. And, yes, I am very proud of my John Thomas and not ashamed to say so.

Great to get the feedback! I put that message on to just get a reaction, which I thank you all for. The CG references were really helpful.

As to the John T Reference yes it is a very English Thing. Sorry for any offence to our American Comanders out there.

I am always Spouting off at Frontier for not doing something or breaking something. But over the last few days I have Got back into ED in a big way. Most of that is due to the people on these message boards.

What Cut me up really bad was being Targeted in Open Play at about the same Time every day a few months ago I was getting Jumped on by a group of Comanders and ZAPPING the ship. Both Anaconda and Python. With sometimes just two SHOTS.

Which is why I only play private or Solo now.

Thanks once again. Regards Lankspeed.
 
I think you'll find it's Bodb Den. There are also systems called Bodb Djede and Bodb Dearg. They're from Celtic mythology. But I'm willing to bet most players have made that mistake when the system names are rendered in Euro Caps. Sometimes we see what we want to see. ;)

I think you maybe Right [smile]

Putting that message in got me some information I was not aware of. One of the problems is I only come in here when I get stuck in a bind[cry].

So I do not read as much as prehaps I should.

But I have now upped the FSD range on the Anaconda and sold the Python.

Sometimes putting something in controversial gets some great Info[smile]

Reagrds Lankspeed.
