Clever Company Names

Ahh, that reminds me, the Washington University food service had a favorite meat supplier - (drum roll, please)

You told them you wanted beef with 29.5% fat, and they'd make it up to order.

Some people really ought to put their egos on the shelf, and name their businesses "smithville dentistry" instead of using their own names.

Maybe it is something about the term "fictitious name registration" that puts people off of using something that isn't their name.

I have a pair of Skinny Dick's Suspenders!

There is another little bar/restaurant down near the Russian River with a weird name. Wish I had bought some suspenders from there too. It is a couple of miles east of the park entrance. Anyone remember the place?

When I was a kid going to college in Santa Cruz, CA., there was a restaurant called "The Bearded Clam".

The best T-shirt I ever saw was on a guy walking down Haight Street in San Francisco. It read:

Jerry's dead. Phish sucks. Get over it.

I'm surprised he wasn't beaten to death.

Was an old woman in my home town. Lived above the hardware store. Lucy Twaddle. She was about 80 Hazard Construction is a big outfit here in San Diego. Elbow Bender (bar)

There was a crab/lobster restaurant in Windsor, Ontario for a number of years that went by the name of 'Crabby Dick's'!

In Sarnia, Ontario this afternoon, and drove by a hairdresser called

"Head Office"

and boat names are great too, such as "A Sails Call", "My Office All Afternoon" "Tooth Ferry"

Speaking of ego. Who ever convinced Realtors and insurance agents we wanted to see what they look like? Billboards, cards, letterhead, etc.

--Andy Asberry recommends NewsGuy--

No, it's not to show us what they look like, it's to remind them who they are... so easy to forget these details, you know.

Bob Ueckers' boat is or was named 'The Front Row'.

Not a company name, but a late friend, owned a Venetian blind firm. A sign on the back of his van read "Blind man driving"!

Steve R.

Not a company name exactly but I drove past a local Kirby Vacuum store today that was having a "blowout sale"

a sign at a local brake shop:

We stand behind and in front of our work! ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . . DanG (remove the sevens) snipped-for-privacy@7cox.net

that would be a neat name for a tire company sale.

There at least used to be a trucking company "Boston Motor Freight". When you see their trucks, all they have are big, block letters:

BMF
