Oscar is fine of course but servers should be kept clean and well organized. That is better represented by Felix than Oscar. But in this case I will follow the crowed. I vote for Oscar.

The origination came from number crunching "a quick fundraiser". The need was expressed for a nitpicker server, which has been part of the reason for recent extended outages.(well, scheduled extended outages.. they were happening anyway) Staff may re-balance things and which server actually becomes the nitpicker may change.. they have yet to build it.. But funds have been donated to get it rolling. Janice ID: 1032272 ·

I am already calling my car Kermit. Why you may ask? When I went to buy it I told the sales man I wanted a mustang with a V8, manual transmission and I would take just about any color other than green. It was year end close out so they only had four cars in stock and to make a long story short, my car is a color called Pacific Green. ID: 1032352 ·
