Used to be a tiny pharmacy in in a tough neighborhood in San Diego, small cube of a run down little stucco building flanked by empty dirt lots strewn with wine botles and beer cans, with bars on the windows and big black block letters painted across its front which read S & M DRUGS. Whoa!

"Fantasy"... I've seen "Cellular Fantasy", "Carpet Fantasy" and 'Fantasy Nails". I'm sorry, if that's your fantasy, you're pretty damn easy to please.

Grew up in a town with an "Olde Towne Shoppe". Still pisses me off just thinking about it.

Theres a Chinese restaurant here in Portland called "Hung Far Low".
It is such a landmark, that even though the restaurant moved a few miles from Chinatown, the original sign remains, and the city is thinking of ways to pay for restoring it. Living in Portland has its moments.

Now you got me started: a VW-Porsche mechanic not far from my house is called "Fix-Em Haus"
Your guess is as good as mine.

Places that resort to low-brow humor bug me too. Out here there's a place called "Sofa King" that sells love seats and sofas. It's pretty obvious that they named the chain that just so they could plaster "our prices are sofa king low" all over their trucks, signs, billboards, etc. Har har. Funny to a 14-year-old I guess but I find it pretty crass and not at all witty.
Same with any packing plant or distributorship that feels the need to put "you can't beat our meat" under their name. Yuk, yuk, yuk. Very witty, but most of us outgrew laughing at such things along with dick and fart jokes back in 8th grade. In the public realm, it's just not funny.

There is a famous Li-ion battery company named A123systems. I supppose A123 gets you on top of any automated listing, but Jeesh, talk about a boring name...
