You Really Won’t Believe This
Bizarre, contests, Fun, Windy February 11th, 2009I’m still in shock. Another bag flew up into a tree at my building.
All fresh and new and STUCK.
So which one of you put it there? I know you’re all trying to make me insane. You know this means war.
At least our Windy has a friend now. FOREVER.
I’m serious. If I find out one of you put it there, I’ll hunt you down and make you climb up and get it out. And I don’t care if you break all your bones when you fall out.
You know what this means now? New bag needs a name. Drop your suggestion in the drawer and I’ll run a poll after I’ve picked a bunch that I like.
I wouldn’t have believed this if I didn’t see it with my own two eyes. Windy got a mate.
Stumble it!

You already have Windy… so why not make the new bag “Gusty”?

Is Windy a boy or a girl? I am assuming girl because of the song “Windy has stormy eeeeyes…and windy has wings to flyyyyyyy.”
These are my suggestions
1) Stormy
2) Wind in His Hair, after Kevin Costner’s friend in Dances with Wolves
3) Orville, as in Wright
4) Evel

Oh this is stupid but its like that song
Windy and ____ sittin’ in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love
Then Comes Marriage
Then comes Aunt Kathy with a baby carriage…
Will Windy give birth to …little sandwich bags??
Oh I know, I am like that weird eager relative who asks how many kids someone is going to have on their first date…

I don’t know what new guy’s name is but here’s a song he might sing to Windy (by Everclear):
‘Cause she’s so high
High above me, she’s so lovely
She’s so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She’s so high, high above me
Ah, love.

Ben’s suggestion Gusty/Gus ‘Cause you know it’s a guy, right?
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, too! I just love a good love story!
And you’re right – it does look suspiciously like someone might have put it there. If a third one shows up in 9 months, we’ll definitely need to investigate.

Oh it’s got to be Betty (as in Bette Midler) for Wind beneath my plastic!
Ode to Windy:
Did you ever know you were my hero,
and everything I aspired to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
And you are in shreds beneath my wings.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one that got caught up.
A beautiful bag that’s been in shreds, for so long.
Hangs tattered and torn and now in pain.
Did you ever know you were my hero,
and everything I aspired to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
And you are in shreds beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I’ve got it all here in my bag.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,

I still like it though. Windy and Gus. Almost as good as romeo and juliet, dontcha think? =)

Whatever their individual names, I’d like to thing of them as belonging to a band. Being older than dirt, I like The Association (Windy) here are the lyrics

What a perfect exhibit of how plastic bags damage the environment: physically and aesthetically!
How ’bout naming it “Bad Boy” for running away like that…
February 12th, 2009 at 2:13 am
Why not call it Breezy;
it’s similar to Windy.
obtw, I will help you make that do badder climb the tree to retrieve BOTH BAGS; and afterwards, we can all hug the tree together.
February 12th, 2009 at 7:13 am
What about Windo? Similar to Windy, but I don’t know if this bag is male or female…..
Well, we’ll need a date for this bag to fall out of the tree now, too!!! I think it’ll fall out 5 years from this date.
And now that spring is coming, leaves will begin to grow around the bags and trap them. So they’ll NEVER fall out!

I would do what Tom Hanks did in his movie Lost. His Wilson ball…he named “Wilson”. So…go look what kind of bag it is….and give it that name.

I said this on Twitter, and I will say it here:
How about Bojangles the Bag? It’s a little Nitty Gritty Dirt band reference, but seeing how the bags are dancing in the wind, having Mr and maybe MRS? Bojangles dance for us works. And after 20 years, will we mourn Windy when she’s gone, the way Mr Bojangles mourned his dog?
I will Mourn Windy when she’s gone. What will her new friend give her for Valentine’s day. I hope at least a card!

Maybe we should name the second bag ‘World Peace’

I’ve always been a fan of just plain “BOB”.
I can see it now, it will be a melodramatic story of unrequited love. Windy will reject Bob’s affections, as she is afraid to allow herself to truly be loved.
This is great!! Oh…and I’m pretty sure I would never be able to find the exact tree Windy was hanging out in, so it’s safe to say I didn’t do it.

I wish to withdraw my suggestion above (as inspired as it was) and go with “Ventoso”. To save you from googling it, it is Italian and translates as “accompanied by the wind”, or simply “windy”.

Personally, I kind of like “New Guy”. Just in case another bag gets blown up there, and then you can name the 3rd one something totally random, like “Francisco” or “Guinevere” or something. Then you’d have Windy, New Guy, and Guinevere. Oooh love triangle. Etc etc etc.
