Oh, I just remembered - when I was a kid we stayed in Gainesville, FL near the university hospital when my grandpa had his artificial hip redone. The restaurant across the street advertised (and this is maybe the early 90’s, okay, not 1951 or something) “Chinee Takee Outee”.
I’ve linked to this one before, but there was this hole-in-the-wall in the Bronx. No mistaking the name.
:smack:
Speaking of Hole-in-the-wall Chinese places, there was a place in Howard Beach (I think) back in the late 90’s called “Soon Fat” The name changed rather quickly, i always wished i’d gotten a picture.
Glad others hate “Buy Buy Baby.”
There was a local law firm in Indianapolis: Roach, Lynch & Belch, Attorneys at Law. Mr. Roach scurried off to form his own firm, leaving just Lynch & Belch, which sounds like a really screwed up convenience store.
Okay, I’ve got a new one: Pale Rider Driving School. I can only assume they were thinking of Clint Eastwood, not one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse when they named the place…
I think that was in ‘The Blues Brothers’ movie.
‘I. Yankum - Dentist’ - the Three Stooges.
Karson Kartage and Konstruction
I swear that I’m not making that up.
That is pretty bad.
Extra points off for egregious use of Papyrus.
Was this it? I think the G stands for Gourmet in the name of the company, but it is pretty silly I agree.
There used to be a sandwich shop near my local station called Lovely Baps, but its gone now. I think it was intentional, as the logo had a bun with a suggestively placed cherry on top.
BINGO!! Wow, that is amazing. In addition to the name thing, I was there in the evening and we didn’t realize we were going to be the last customers of the day.
When we lingered and talked over tea, an employee played a very pornographic Chinese tape (singing, then moaning…).
We took the hint and left.
There was a business in Toronto called “Federal Kash 'n Karry” but the font made it look like “Federal Hash 'n Karry.” Didn’t help that my buddy and I were sitting behind it smoking a joint.
Machine shop in Watertown, MA: “Queen Screw”.
Any relation to Nurse Ratched?
Don’t know if they still exist, but for years I saw these signs on businesses in the Knoxville area:
**Gamble Car Repair
Bogus Auto Parts
Adcock Prosthetics**
Somewhere there’s a video place called MEGAFLICKS…
Just around the corner from me is a tyre place called Bursta Tyres.
Also not far away, a butcher’s shop: B.J. Meats.
And, in the San Bernadino mountains of California, the Deer Lick Car Wash.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that in my home town (like the two mentioned in post #96), but long ago, there was a Fook Hing Chinese Restaurant.
Unlimited Head Jobs for an engine machine shop
Holy Sheet for sheets
Analgas for a company that dose gas analysis
Hapnantang for an Indonesian restaurant
There still is in Victoria Aus.
