Steamboating colleagues:
I like 'Huff and Puff' personally. Hey, what about 'Bates and Howe?' Naw, that sounds too much like an upscale Louisville law firm. Possibly 'Ying and Yang.' This unbridled humor has no constraints.

Cheers,

Having the ADMIRAL's pitmans painted that way and named bothered my chief engineer father to no end. He said that it looked, "childish."

My guess the reason they were thusly named was because the main deck was the children's playland, and so it would make sense in that perspective.
