Happy Tummy Teriyaki

It's right outside one of the main gates from work. Just a really weired name, I think it's kept a couple of coworkers from trying it out.

How about Elephant Racing. wtf ?????
I went into Whole Foods the other day with my Elephant Racing hat on. The hippie chick at the cash register said "Elephant racing? You mean, like, really?"

I was too slow to say, "yea me and some guys race elephants on the weekends down in Denver".

I just told her that is was a car parts company ;)

2 funeral homes in the area:

Gross Funeral Home

Wellman Funeral Home

there also used to be the "Pointe Coupee" Funeral Home in New Roads, La. that had a drive-through viewing window (like a bank teller window). The music would play, and the visitor book would slide out to your car.

There is a seafood chain restaurant in the North Carolinas outerbanks that is named Dirty Dicks. Their advertisement says "I got my crabs at Dirty Dicks" :rolleyes:.

There also was a short-lived Chinese/Dim Sum place here (franchise problems ruined the guy) called "Gimme Sum".
