(...) Is it just me, or do others also know the not so child friendly meaning of the term "golden shower"? Jeff p.s. In the case of "golden shower", I'm not sure if Google is really your friend. (20 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) The ship is great, but perhaps you should reconsider the name considering the meaning of the term "golden shower." Or was that deliberate? (20 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Yeah, name was deliberate. Hence why the picture on brickshelf only has the name "Golden". It's a play on Keith's last name.

I find your inclusion of interiors much more offensive that the name....what a shame to waste a perfectly excellent hull design with interiors. Still, the State appreciates your sacrifice. -Keith (20 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
