What does "Semroc" mean?

[JAL3]

I have gladly done business with Semroc since I re-entered rocketry and never gave the matter a second thought but it occurred to me on the way home from church this morning.

I get the "roc" part but what is the significance of the "Sem"?

 

[Fishhead]

South Eastern Model Rocketry, I believe.

Sounds good to me!

They all sound good to me!

Thanks for the info.

I don't know why it was bugging me but it was.

I was talking to Carl (SEMROC) one day, a while back, about our NEMROC Conventions (North East Model ROCket convention, and he commented that they should start up the South East Model ROCket convention... LOL

Love me, love my rockets.

Sorry, but that's the deal. No misunderstandings.

Tell her the next hobby you're thinking about picking up is strip clubs, then see how she likes rocketry.

Jim's right, South East Model Rocketry but I really like the other suggestions better.

I once ran a computer Bulletin Board Service I called "RSBBS" (for "Roger Smith's BBS"). Though I thought it was obvious, after the fourth or fifth time someone asked what "RSBBS" stood for, I added some code to the BBS to make up random names from a list of "R" words and a list of "S" words. My favorite of the random names it displayed was "Rancid Sausage BBS" (though "Really Silly BBS" was a more appropriate name).

One of my computer generated user names in at a lab in college was soco. I wrote a similar script to come up with different so and co words each day. A few that were appreciated or caused chuckles in the lab were soggy cornflakes, socialist cockroach, something confusing, and somber coyote. Somber coyote stuck and after the course, I kept using somber coyote, but reversed it to etoyoc rebmos. I still use etoyoc or etoyocrebmos for most of my user names.

Cool. I had no idea what it stood for!

 

[powderburner]

I always thought it was pretty obvious.

Great products, huge selection of parts, high quality, friendly service, knowledgeable people.

(No, this doesn't fit the acronym, I know that.)

 

[DRAGON64]

SEMROC, to me, stands for low prices, quality products and service, and awesome designs and reproductions!

I never was any good with arconyms...

Continuing off-topic. Way back when, the computers at Eglin AFB required you to choose a password from random phrases generated by a program. You could run the program repeatedly until you saw a phrase you liked. Some of my co-workers would spend hours running the program over and over agaib to see the phrases it generated and to pick a silly password phrase. This was, of course, before the Internet and a better way to waste time became available.
