Tacky names, add your own

Oh man, broken down boobs.....would you call those broken headlights?

There's the classic Hung Far Low restaurant in SE, with the cocktails sign that conveniently has the last half of the word burnt out....

I saw some furniture in a box at Costco a while back- it was made my Hooker furniture, and their tagline was "easy living". I giggled, anyways.

There's the standard BJ's whatevers, restaurants, etc etc.

A few years back when we took a trip to Kimberly, BC, there was a bunch of billboards for some tire place that proudly announced themselves as the Lord of the Rims. Uhhhh huh huh huh huh....

Drove past Throckmorton st in Fort Worth, and then had to explain what a positive Throckmorton was to everyone else in the truck.

In my town we have an Oriental restaurant called OPM. If that's nto bad enough, their mascot is a huge sumo guy named "Big Wang".

I can top that. The place was called Master Wang, and the the side of the building had a chicken holding open a trenchcoat with the words 'Call The Wang' on its stomach. I swear I'm not making this up. I'll get photos once the weather clears if people want 'em.

When I worked in London some years back, there was a shoe shop close by called "R.Soles".

customer: Any idea where I could get cowboy boots?
me: Try R.Soles.
customer:
me: R (loooong pause) Soles
customers: Oh, I thought you said...
me: You're not the only one, buddy.

There was this guy who ran a garage business near me, who's name was Wayne King. If you're English, you'll probably get it. There was also the friend of a friend's brother who's name was Richard Head. I dread to think what line of business he went into. O_o

[Dreamstalker]

Ahhhh, yes, Beaver Toyota. My college was right across the road from there, and the jokes were endless it seemed.

One of my previous employers did business with a merchandiser named Richard Small....and yes, he went by the "other" name

Actually, there's also a company that makes custome exhaust manifold. These custom exhaust maniholds are commonly known as "headers". One company that makes these headers is a company also known as "Hooker". So you can get a header from a Hooker at your local car parts store! They also have a big heart on it's logo, which kinda makes sense if you think of it like I mentioned.

Don't believe me? Here's a picture of their logo!

You just reminded me of my French teacher when I was a reluctant pupil of the topic at the tender age of ... something or other. That was his name.

This guy also went by the shortened version of his name... which made me wonder whether he was doing it on purpose or not. *snigger* What were his parents smoking?

One more... my older brother had a friend called, no word of a lie, Steven Stevens. We used to tease him, saying he was so good his parents named him twice. Makes my prefered choice of kid names* look almost normal. XD






*Check the baby names thread. I don't have kids and perhaps it's just as well.

There was one of those at my school, Edward Edwards, although I think he went by "Eddie."

From the witty:

Rude Rudy's. (Best D$MN pizza in Savannah)

Jimmy's Buffet, a bbq place known through out most of Georgia

Smack Yo Mamma: Actually a type of sauce. And yes, it's that good.

To the strange:

Dedman Funeral Home. (Pronounced Dead Man)

To the misplaced signage:

Robertson Funeral Home and Crematorium. (Below which a sign also reads) Bar and Grill. Apparently, the funeral home closed down and was demolished, but the sign still stands.

Live Topless Women! (Right below a sign reading) Christ Church, Services Wed, and Sunday. ((Now that, is MY kind of church!!!))

to the strange smack your mother for naming you names:

Gay Dykes. (Former superior court judge.)

Ben Gay. (How long?)

[Argabarga]

There were a surprising number of double names in the phone book in town here last I checked

There's a Steven Stevens, a John J Johns and a Barbra Barbera.....

Oh, and there is a guy named Harry Butts Jr. , now, I ask you, what could you possibly do as a kid to get a name like that, especialy since you'd think Mr. Butts Sr. would KNOW exactly what's going to happen to his son in high school???

This guy also went by the shortened version of his name... which made me wonder whether he was doing it on purpose or not. *snigger* What were his parents smoking?

Aparently something not as strong as the parents of a guy I met briefly whose full name is Michael P. Hunt*.








*If your mind's not dirty enough, remember, most people don't use their middle innitial when they shorten their first name.

[officegirl]

Aww...you should explain it to her!

That would be a lovely conversation!!!!
