This is really great of you, and the other rocket donor. Thank you!

1.What’s your best name you gave a rocket?
2. What’s a good name for the bull pup rocket?
3. What’s your favorite holiday movie?

1. Justin Time
2. Harpoon
3. It's a Wonderful Life

Don't laugh. It's better known as the butt of many jokes and parodies, but if one sits and watches it, it really is a terrific movie. And it displaces A Christmas Story on the TV for a blessed couple of hours.

 

[Scotty Dog]

1. Wavy Gravy
2.PeeDee
3.Christmas Story

 

[Alan R]

Oh boy.
Best rocket name: Oops I Launched My Tiki Drink
Bullpup name: Puppy
Xmas movie: A Charlie Brown Christmas

Boris Karloff did not do the singing, 'twas Thurl Ravenscroft. And yeah that song is amazing.

Trivia bonus: "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" song was actually written by Albert Hague, who played Mr. Shorofsky on "Fame" tv show (for those of you old enough to remember that).

1.What’s your best name you gave a rocket? I am unconventional when it comes to naming things as most of mine are kits, but I want to name this one rocket the Lil St. Nick. (its a 3D printed rocket originally named Lil Nick.)
2.What’s a good name for the bull pup rocket? Santa Paws
3. What’s your favorite holiday movie? Home Alones were always funny, Christmas with the Kranks, The Polar Express, A Boy called Christmas.

I had a Bullpup back in the 90's, but it finally gave up the ghost. The nosecone ended up on my Squirrel Works Starduster.

 

[Adam3836]

Update the winner of the screaming eagle kit has not responded. So today at 845 am hours it will be the 48 hour mark and if there is still no response I will select a new winner for the screaming eagle kit
it’s tuff I don’t want to have to re select but I feel it’s only fair to keep moving because we don’t no if we will get a response. All good though
