Bad Business Names

I'm a big fan of the Pump N' Munch -- I was actually thinking of taking a pic and posting it here.

Ughh.

Shit, there are a lot of those.  None of them seem to be of the New London Pump N' Munch.  

By the way, I keep looking for the Condo Fucks or other New London scene bands, but I can't seem to find them.

"Pump N' Munch" sounds like it's one of those "gentleman's latte" coffeeshops from "Idiocracy".

In college, I used to work at a video store called Flicks 'n' Licks. We also served frozen yogurt.

And yes, we had an adult section.

Sorry.  I screwed up.  "Felt Kids" is a terrible name of a product, not a business.

So let me try again: The Vinyl Solution.  It is a record store in Portchester, NY.

Where else are you going to pick up RaHoWa bootlegs?

No kidding.  I just googled "Vinyl Solution" and the name seems to be quite popular for record stores and record labels.  What are people thinking?  Or not thinking?

Yeah, it's a bit like a tattoo ... choose the name of your business carefully, because you're going to have to live with it.

On the other hand, maybe this is that weird marketing principle where it doesn't matter if you think the name is good or bad, it just matters that you remember it.

If you're gonna be there a while.  Zip over to Niantic and check out the Book Barn.  What a place.  Overflow location downtown. 
The main place truly was a barn with numerous out lying buildings (sheds) dedicated to various genres.

Not shooting the messenger but this sort of ruined my morning. One is horrific. Two is .. I don't know, jeez.

Edit: Mood equilibrium restored. Saw the new Ted Leo album cover in another thread. Everything is going to be OK.

Sorry, Gravy Boat. I did not mean to ruin your morning.

there's a van often parked next to my apt building that says E.D. Plumbing on the side

and there used to be a place on Houston called Desk n' Desk

two guesses as to what they sold there

[Spoony]

I was just in a mall and counted no less than three stores with the word "extreme" in their name. One store was simply "Extreme."

Extreme is likely required to be pressurized, right? Would extreme be in a aerosol can?
