Better name for the Kermit?
I've posted this elsewhere, so apologies if you've just seen it, but I've just come across a quote from the author Tom Paine (1737-1809), which includes the line ..... "One step above the ridiculous makes the sublime [again]"
It strikes me that "Sub-Lime" is a good alternative name for the green sub |

That works for me. If the blue/red GMT can be a Pepsi, we now have the Sub-Lime

I am a fan of calling it the LV, though most people don't know what that means. Maybe that is why I like it!

There seems to be plenty of Star Wars fans here.
Funny nobody has picked up on the JJ connection yet. Jar Jar Binks ( aka JJ BKL) , so close it's uncanny
