Finally I have finished my Iron Reich Assault Shuttle.

In honor of my good friend and one of the best builders around, Keith Goldman, I have named the ship the “Golden Shower” (there are two golden dishes on the nose of the ship to signify this) - aka ‘Golden’ for short.

The ship is great, but perhaps you should reconsider the name considering the meaning of the term “golden shower.” Or was that deliberate?

Of course it was deliberate! It’s an obvious allusion to Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Specifically, line 11 in the linked text.

Why? What did you think he meant?

Dave!
