Hi,
Is there enough interest to start a thread on this topic?

To start, some of my favorites are:

Paddy O'Furniture (Outdoor furniture and accessories)

MesmerEyes ( Optical shop at Bellagio in Vegas )


Medium Well Done ( Graphic Design/Advertising firm)

There used to be an art gallery near Gray's Inn Rd called "Gallery Singleton". Whether the owner was called Singleton or not I don't know.

I guess this won't mean much to the young'uns (god - how old do I sound!) or those who don't know the presenters of Blue Peter (including Valerie Singleton).

Maaaaaaaaaaaany years ago when I was teen I had to get my hair cut at the UFO Hairport in Duncanville, TX. It was pretty spacey.

"Dyin'? Boy, He can have this little life any time He wants to. Do Ya hear that? Are ya hearin' it? Come on. You're welcome to it, Ol' Timer. Let me know You're up there. Come on. Love me, hate me, kill me, anything. Just let me know it... I'm just standin' in the rain talkin' to myself."

I'm still not certain if this is the name of the place or just a saying on a large sign in front of it: God Loves A Smiling Face. It's an orthodontist's office.

Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

There's also the UCM Museum (pronounced you see 'em).

I live in a city surrounded by farm land. There is a septic waste hauler named "The Pooper Scooper". Their trucks carry the motto: "You Dump, We Pump".

[off-topic]We always called septic waste haulers, Honey Wagons because "you always catch more flies with honey than vinegar."[/off-topic].

A friend calls his: "Harrington Information Management"

He liked the idea of the client saying, "This is screwed up. We need to call HIM. Does anyone have HIM's number?"

I also have a dog wash in my area. It's really a dog wash, a car wash, and a laundromat in one.

The name is U.R. Washin' Stuff

(a take-off of H.R. Puffinstuff).

 

[BadBigBen]

in Tucson, there used to be a store (don't know if it still exists) called "Puff-n-Stuff", they carried:

the stuff: Comic books, Hack-n-Slay gamer gear

the puff: paraphernalia (bongs, pipes, papers, etc.)
