    OPM - sounds like opium?

    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 don't get this one (I do understand the mascot name, I'm just hazy on the restaurant name).

    There are quite a few businesses around here with the initials B D S and M in various combinations. Much fun to be had trying to figure out exactly how they conduct business (S&M Cleaners, B&D Auto Repair, etc).

    Not really a tacky business name, but amusing as hell. Once in Park Street Station I saw a big guy in a pink T-shirt. The front was an ad for a tent company (events and the like). The back said "For a great erection, call..." Cue coffee up the nose. My equally wrong-minded friend almost fell off the platform laughing.

    I don't know if the resturant has a mascot or anything, but there's an OPM Oriental restaurant here, as well. I don't know how addictive the food is, though...

    Anyway, at my old home in another town, there was another landscaping company by the name of "Beaver" and an oilfield company by the name of "Kuntz". Apparently it's pronounced differently.

    I saw this on the side of a truck that belonged to a local meat company:

    "******'s Meat: You can't beat it!"

    Not sure if that one was intentional or not.

    We were walking down an Anchorage street and came upon a place called "The Glory Hole." Yes, that was its actual name. Apparently it's a homeless shelter, but I saw the sign for it about half a block away and said to my wife "Now that's a name you'd see on a gay bar."

    She didn't get it and still doesn't.
    Aww...you should explain it to her!

    There's two businesses near where I live called FLICK'S AWARDS and FLICKS TAX SERVICE, because it's all in capitals and type of font they use it looks like it says FUCK'S AWARDS. I bet people always do a double take when they first see the signs.

    None around here, but when my wife and I were honeymooning in Alaska this past June I saw one.

    Tacky names, add your own

    I do know that all stores at one point have some tacky or cheesy thing that drives its employees insane, my arena does with these clubs that they added on the north side of the building.
    One of the names is Club 53 which to me sounds like a dance club. I have been inside it and the entrance looks like a dance club, layout looks like a dance club, and everything about it screams "dance club". I've been tempted to change the sound system and have it play nothing but techno and dance on a nonstop loop. I can only imagine the looks on these VIPs faces when they are greeted with the lovely sounds of Supernova. I am also tempted to rig the light system to turn it into strobe lights, the benefits of having a dad who did sound and lighting.

    *Disclaimer: I do not plan on doing any of these but if you have seen this new club in the arena, you would immediately get the joke. If I get the chance to go in there again I will take pictures. Besides I'm not good with lighting and sound.

    Anyone have any tacky names that they found funny?
