There used to be a dive bar where I used to live. Food was pretty good, but it’s hard to mess up Tex-Mex.

Anyway, it was named the Campus Lounge. And the Cam didn’t light up for the longest time on the sign. So it became the ‘Pus’

I think Anal May is probably something many people would get behind.

The best way to mess up Tex-Mex is to try to make it “upscale” and “gourmet.” Just leave it alone the way God created it.

Ok, I’m outta here. The b_anal_ity of this thread is bottoming out. 😉

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen their truck. But when you see Butte Therapy out of the corner of your eye during traffic, it looks wrong.

(If anyone’s curious, it’s a company that delivers oxygen medical equipment.)
