This reminds me....

We were looking for a "kinder, gentler name" for Dave Mancuso's 
"Big White Appliance"  -- any suggestions ???

Candidates:

Yeti (Sasquatch?) (of the kinder, gentler kind, of course!!!)
The Polar Bear (or maybe Klondike???)
The Big White Dove (How about "La Grande Paloma Blanca" to make it sound
                    exotic :-)
(Sorry, "Falkor" is taken... )
Just some ideas....
