I’d never heard of it before this month, so I’m gonna guess ‘no.’
We passed Skinny Dick’s Halfway Inn while traveling in Alaska. There were some very cute cartoon bears on the sign who may or may not have been demonstrating…something.
Bimbo also make a soft drink: “Bimbo Cola”. It’s pretty good, although its head is a little airy.
Experts Exchange, a service that charged for answers to IT questions, used to be at the address expertsexchange.com, which can be parsed a completely different way. I see they are still online, but now at experts-exchange.com to make it clearer.
Someone I know went on a factory tour. The Big Ass Fan was the grand finale.
There was a construction company called Bosom Builders somewhere in the Midwest. I’ve seen pictures of the signs for years, however searching brings up something entirely different.
I see Bimbo Bakery trucks around San Diego fairly often. It started in Mexico, where I assume that Bimbo has a different connotation. Bimbo USA now owns several familiar brands including Sara Lee, Entenmann’s, and Boboli. They were in negotiations to buy Hostess, but that sadly fell through. It would have been awesome to see shelves full of Bimbo Twinkies and Bimbo Ding Dongs.
There are a variety of “Curl up and dye” hair salons around the country. I used to drive past the one that used to be in Milwaukee, decades ago.
VERY Clever! I approve!
The ones with Big Ass in the name remind me of the organization called Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue that I stumbled on by accident once. I especially love their motto: Saving Badass Dogs from Idiot Humans. (They rescue animals from high-kill shelters and get them into homes but I suspect they started with pit bulls.)
There’s one in Providence RI, too.
Was the name around before it was used as the name of the salon in Earth Girls are Easy?
Well, let’s see. We’ve seen a poster find them in Florida, I’m writing from Denver, and you are representing California, so I’d say that makes them a coast-to-coast operation.
Can we nominate names that should be used? Someone should start Good Intentions Asphalt and Paving, Inc.
Senegoid:
It’s certainly well-known in Texas and the south east. During my recent road trip to those states, that was the only kosher brand of bread in most supermarkets, so I took notice of its presence, and most supermarkets did indeed have it.
My friend and I were looking for dog training schools near her and we found All Dogs Go To Kevin. We couldn’t tell which school was the best but we settled on that one because - of course!
There’s a housecleaning service called “Two Girls & A Bucket” which calls to mind a particular infamous internet video from years back.
I can’t be the only one to think so since, when I Googled the service’s name to be sure I had it right, Google suggested said video at the bottom of the page as “Searches related to…”
There’s an exterminator business in, I think, upstate South Carolina called Hired Killers. I like it a lot.
Somewhat clever, at least in the way it rolled off the tongue. Accents In Ink. It was a tattoo shop, I got a shitty tattoo there.
More clever, I found out later it’s nickname was Accidents In Ink. Turns out I wasn’t the only one that got a shitty tattoo there.
Road Kill Café*
You kill 'em, we grill 'em!*
There’s a place around the corner with the horrible name Get UR Done. What do they do? Extermination I think. Not only do I hate that redneck phrase, but it really annoys me they can’t misspell it correctly (Git’r done). Anyway, I hate them.
When in Colorado last year, I remember driving past Beaver Liquors but couldn’t get the driver to go back so I could take a picture.
