My boa, Irwin, is named for Steve Irwin, obviously, but my other boa, Gimel, has a more interesting name. I've told this story before but....
Dreidel, the Chanukah spinning top of lore, is a gambling game played with chocolate coins - the 4 sides of the dreidel each indicate a different result for the spinner: SHIN means you must put 2 more coins into the pot, NUN means you neither win nor lose any coins, HAY means you win half the pot, and GIMEL means you win the whole pot. - I had been scouring the classified sites for weeks and weeks with some interesting results but none that really struck me, then i came across the picture below in her ad; look at the large saddle on the upper left, i saw that and realized she literally had "winner" written all over her!
