Wrong pic, that's Jezebel.
Try again dingus!
Hey, look at you. It worked. I think maybe that "error" you got was just a rando connection issue, not really related to the forum software.
Jezebel is the truck, Buttercup is the bike, right? My bike (bicycle) is named Functional because of the sticker that said "Functional" (duh) on the top tube. I should post an updated photo here.
Jezebel was what my cousin called his old Chevy back in the 80's. I liked it enough to call all my trucks Jezebel. It had nothing to do with the Biblical character except the name. It was more of a Delilah but, Jezebel just sounded better. The one in the picture is my second Jezebel, the first was a wheezy 6 cylinder which provided 9 years of reliable service from 1991-99 when it lost compression on two cylinders. I had always wanted to build a hot rod truck and began the process with a short block 355 ci small block Chevy. My Dad and I took J apart down to the frame during this we realized that the truck was junk. I found another that came with a V8 and was heavy duty. That is the truck in the picture. I took eight years to build and I drove it for eight months before wrecking it. I decided then that if I continued building hot rods eventually one would kill me.
I liked the original Cartoon Network show The Powerpuff Girls (1996). I named a pitbull "Bubbles" and "Buttercup" for the bike. I like the idea of giving sissy names to brutal beasts. Bubbles was the opposite of every pitbull stereotype and her name fit, even though she looked mean she was absolutely not. "You are a disgrace to your kind, Bubbles you know that?" Pant pant, wag tail nod " yes I am ain't it great?". I loved that dog.
So all I have left is Blossom and haven't found anything to name yet. When I get another pitbull she will be Bubbles 2.0.
Functional is a good quirky name, like "dog" in the John Wayne movie Big Jake, recently ripped off by the character Daryl Dixon on the Walking Dead. It actually works for him but, it irritated me because I wanted to use it. I could use Pup which I use on stranger dog. "Hey Pup, it sucks being locked in a car don't it?"
Every gift my Dad received he named after the person who gave it to him. He carved wood so he had a lot of knives with people names. I have kicked myself for not getting him to write down who was who so, now I have a bunch of pocket knives and carving tools without their names.

Iain asked me to post this higher resolution version of the same picture:
It does appear to be a network thing somewhere between him and the server.
