Popular Post Ken Gargett Posted January 10, 2020 Popular Post Posted January 10, 2020 as some will know, and thanks for the suggestion, the long-suffering esky which catches the rain on the balcony and which has appeared in videos from day 1, was recently named Quinn! sadly, Quinn suffered a possum-related accident over the new year and went tumbling off into the jungle below. now, while it is too early to write off Quinn forever - to be honest, all it would take to recover the thing would be for me to get off my arse and head to the wilds below and bring it back but i am yet to drum up the energy - fear not, there is a replacement. we have a new esky which will now grace the videos, at least until my sister discovers she is missing her esky. and of course, we needed a new name. given that it is a bigger esky, there could be only one name - THE MIGHTY QUINN! 2 4

JohnS Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Ken, you named the esky "Quinn" in honour of the Bob Dylan song or Anthony Quinn's portrayal of an Eskimo in Nicholas Ray's 1960 film, 'The Savage Innocents'?

Islandboy Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Just to be clear, we’re talking about a cooler here, right? Not that there’s anything wrong with.....naming a cooler.?

First Lady Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I think you should call it Chilli as in Chillibin LOL

Habana Mike Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Chillibin is actually a pretty 'cool' name for a cooler.....autological!

Simply a post of laziness, m mann was the first result, Dylan was lower. I blame YouTube

And for the record, based on pictures you’ve posted in the past, I wouldn’t venture into the jungle below the relative safety of your patio to retrieve what remains of Quinn either. RIP Quinn. 1
PigFish Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Okay, this is a bit spooky. Many years ago I named my cooler...! It was this huge white thing that we took on the boat. You could put a body in it... We named it Jeffrey. Yes, as in Dahmer! Cheers! -Piggy 1 1

Cheers! -Piggy ray, the original quinn, now overboard in the jungle below, once belonged to my old man, by coincidence, geoffrey (the correct spelling), m ago. it would have been odd to call it after him.
Wookie Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Make sure to wear gloves if you retrieve the old one....looked scary even before the rabid racing rat took up residence.

I cannot account for how Jeffrey spelled Geoffrey... -LOL All I know is that it might have been handy, my large cooler, in his line! 1
