local businesses with horribly formed "names"

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

Saw this place in Paris, TX:

Recently opened tattoo and body-piercing shop in my suburban town is rather splendidly named "SORRY MUM".

that's funny though I think

was just stuck at a red light next to a mobile dog barber with the delightful business name "The Barfer Shoppe" written on their door.

What is BARF?

BARF is an acronym for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. Biologically appropriate food is food that a particular animal was designed to eat.

Will feeding barf cure my pet?

No, feeding BARF does not directly cure any diseases or ailments.

Lol

"It will not cure your pet but it might cure your pet... think about it..."

what the actual shit

I saw a cement mixer in Walthamstow today owned by the unfortunately-named firm "Jim'll Mix It".

hippy "therapy" shop near me was offering a workshop in "Tibetan Ball Massage" the other day. i am such a child.

Finbar Saunders-isms are the best, there was much hilarity in my office today when a co-worker was having "problems with his plums" oo-er missus fnar fnar etc.

i use balls for massage regularly, hur hur. seriously though, it's very effective. little rubber balls that release tension under your back and neck and stuff.

xpost

i guessed that was probably what it was but the initial double-take was priceless

Whereabouts in Walthamstow are you, Neil S?

There's a dog groomers next to where I live called 'Fuzzy Growlers'. Always made me cringe to hear my mum saying it / my dad chuckling about it.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY AIDS

There is actually a non-profit called Face AIDS; I had to interview someone with that on their CV and was a bit o_O

there was a short-lived cholo clothing store called Homie Depot here a few years ago (though i would say "awesomely" rather than "horribly")

There's a Fuzzy's Tacos near where I work, and I want to eat there but my lunch buddy says the name disgusts her too much. My only counterargument was tacos, but it wasn't enough.
