Speaking of pizza places in Indy, there is “Jockamo Upper Crust Pizza,” whose logo is a chimp in a top hat: [http://www.jockamopizza.com/](http://www.jockamopizza.com/)

I don’t hate the name, but I also don’t know what a “jockamo” is. The pizza is pretty good.

Jockamo or Jackamo has its origins in New Orleans and the name appears in a bunch of restaurants there in a bunch of variant spellings. The name has since spread spottily around the country.

See [Iko Iko - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iko_Iko) for the rather confusing and convoluted background.

For while in Boston, hippy dippies were stealing the “S” off the POST OFFICE signs. Get it? PO T OFFICE? At the time, we thought it was hilarious.

Our local supermarket is Shop Rite. What do they think? The option is Shop Rong?
