Tacky names, add your own

A positive Throckmorton is a medical student joke and I have to say, i haven't heard it for about 15 years (not that I was ever a medical student, I hasten to add) ! It means that the penis is pointing to the side of the body as the disease or damage. So if a patient had a broken right leg, and his willy was dangling to the right as well, that would be a positive Throckmorton.

I spent a very peculiar night in the college library once while a drunk third-year medic explained this to me in great detail.

I was flipping through an Avon book just today, and could they not come up with a better name for a lip gloss line than Hook Up? Sheesh. I wonder if they also offer Skank Mascara and Easy Lay Eyeshadow?

I take it you aren't familiar with Urban Decay or Too Faced cosmetics.

Well, one of the doctors that was helping my father after dad broke his hip was named

Dr. Paine. Pronounced Pain.

A Dutch doctor who was working with my mother (a nurse) refused to change the way he answered the phone. He was called Dr Phile (or a spelling that sounded like that). His first name was Peter.

When he answered the phone, he never said "Dr Phile." It always sounded just like he was saying "Paedophile."

Well, mine may or may not be funny....

1. Flamers- restaurant in the mall
2. Kelly's Cajun Grill, which, coincidentally, is a chinese restaurant....with no crawdads.
3. Floppy Wangs Chinese Cuisine- Tullahoma Tn i believe.

I find them mildly amusing.

On the way down to the beach, there's a place called "The Park and Blow".

Just found this on the smoking gun. Not a business, but pretty bad none the less.

There's also a Hung Far Low in Portland, OR.

That's precisely the restaurant I'm referring to

Well, at least he didn't hyphenate to Seymour-Pusey

When he answered the phone, he never said "Dr Phile." It always sounded just like he was saying "Paedophile."

God, I hope he wasn't a pediatrician!

These aren't nearly as funny as the ones I've read so far...

But the doctor that stitched up my knee when I was 12...his name was Dr. Gitar. I have no idea what his first name was.

And my pediatrician (years and years ago, of course) was Dr. Kwacko.

[skeptic53]

That's precisely the restaurant I'm referring to

I looked it up and you are right, the Hung Far Low is in SE Portland. Used to be in Chinatown near the bus station in downtown, back when dinosaurs ruled the earth and I was a lad... When you said it was in SE I didn't realize you were referring to PDX per se...

I swear, as the family was driving over to a family friend's house tonight, we drove right past a truck that was emblazoned with the epithet:
BM Planning, Inc.

[HalloranElder]

My Chiropractor is Dr Leach...

[Pagan]

Dreamstalker - can't remember. College of Santa Fe?

There was a restaurant in Taos, I don't know if it's still there, called Joe Mama's. They had really good food, too.

We've got an orthodontist here in ABQ named Dr. Ken Hurt ("It's just my name, not my intention.")

If I remember correctly, there used to be a urologist in Las Cruces named Dr. Zipper and an OB/GYN named Dr. Love. My mom's dentist down there is Dr. Pinholster.

Kind of off topic: Has anyone ever been to Dick's Cafe in Dallas? The whole goal is to be as rude to your waitperson as possible since they are just as rude to you! It was a blast!

back in 2000, there was a news story about the new years baby! the first kid in norway in the year 2000, the proud father's name? Hugo Homo, i wonder if that kid's getting teased...

and some names get lost in translation, a couple fairly common first names here, is Odd, and Roar, and my mother's name is Wenche....
