local businesses with horribly formed "names"

lol Stevie there's nothing to really 'get' --- it's just a store that sells carpet that added Disco to their name.
could there be anything further from a disco than a carpet showroom?

hiny hiders (toilet partitions and latches)

'disco' might be an abbrev for 'discontinued' or maybe 'discounted' but i prefer to think it is a floor-to-ceiling deep-pile party lounge

Short Circuit Electrics

"Let Us Remove Your Shorts"

There's a sushi place in Reno called Kokopelli Sushi, because nothing invokes fresh fish like the southwestern American desert.

And the tea place called Bird Pick (a chain?), because I want *my* tea leaves to be walked on and pecked by birds.

sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof

need to visit and/or walk past this before it gets shut down I guess

the asian-fusion-cuisine restaurant 'fuAsian' did not last long. mercifully.

i've seen so many of these lately but I forget to write them down #coolstorybro

I drive past this one stripmall store near work a lot, and it drives me NUTS.

Apparently they sell 'Hip Fashions With a Southern Vibe'.

which means "fannypacks with Confederate flags on them"

the website is kinda terrifying

iPho in Fremont, complete with an apple-shaped letter O, which inexplicably hasn't been shut down by Apple computer:

Farmers Exchange here in Santa Cruz. The associated website - www.farmersexchangesc.com/ - being the "horribly formed" part.

Pizza My Heart is a popular local pizza joint.

personal favorites are every horribly-formed pun on "bead" for bead shops

also local haircuttery called the "Wak Shack"

there's a place in Davis or Dixon outside Sac that backs onto I-80, and the sign says something like LIVE BAIT SHOOTING RANGE AMMO

and I always lol @ 'live bait shooting range'

Ha, Shakey, you just reminded me that we have 'Big Bead Boutique' round the corner.

Also 'Barber Black Sheep' is a local hairdressers.

Bead It
Off the Beading Path
Beadissimo

Ace Of Fades barbershop near my house - not horribly formed at all tho, in fact I think it's p awesome

Poo. Life. What's the matter with your hair?

We've got the King of Fades. Don't think I should let him know that there's an Ace out there.

(Also can't drive by w/o humming King of Fades… I will ALWAYS BE King of Fades….)

I didn't choose the Poo Life, the Poo Life chose me.

jokes on you cause they don't sell it

Sewing and alterations are another category of business where terrible puns abound. Two local examples:

Seams Sew Right [no longer in business]
Sew Sew Maria

I'm sure I and Adam have before mentioned the nearby Dick Whittington pub. the attached bottle shop is named Dick Liquor.

wait I see I mentioned that already

Theres a clothing store just down the road called "Oralita" and ... I cant help mentally sniggering. I am such a child.

the large and elaborate

CUSTOMER'S WANTED, APPLY WITHIN

sign on the fence of a local signwriter unwittingly serves the purpose of being a fair warning.

Peed Plumbing: Awesome, wack, or so wack it comes back around again to awesome?

awesome x awesome to the power of awesome

Should hook up with PooLife.

There's a burger place here that is named OK (Big Daddy's Fire Grill) but on their menu they have the slogan "Put some excitement between your buns" which is not what I want to think of when I'm getting a burger. And the "B" in their BD logo looks like a butt.

gross

do they have donkey sauce y/n

not yet.

I do give them credit for opening their first location next door to an In-N-Out Burger. Bold move.

Hand to God, I once got my hair cut at this place.

eep

"Anu" is a common Finnish women's name. Apparently someone called Anu owned a cafe near the street where I used to live, because it was called Anu's Cafe. The place has since shut down.

This one comes perilously close to one of those "accidentally says something else" situations:

I've been meaning to bump this thread for ages -- almost every morning I see a pickup emblazoned with the business name ARREOLOA LANDSCAPING
