Couldn’t find a web site for this chinese restuarant, but here’s the yellow pages entry:

San Jose’s own Dac Phuc.
Hey, at least it doesn’t say Long Ddong. That extra D is a doozy.
I have a pic on my home computer of a place unfortunately called Mom’s Taco.
I shall find and post it later.
I’m having a Sixteen Candles flashback with that one.
That one’s just outright nasty. It does make me want to open up a place next door to it called “Dad’s Sausage” though.
I used to get gas at one of these all the time.
I spent six years working at a Kum & Go. The founders of the company were William Krause and Tony Gentle, and they wanted something to fit their initials, K and G, thus they came up with “Kum & Go.” They’re a little sensitive about it. For instance, while I was working there, they stopped carrying Hustler magazine because they featured a picture of a Kum & Go 4th of July parade float.
Someone please tell me that I’m not the only one who laughs when she see’s Jack in the Box’s “Monster Taco?”

There used to be a pharmacy in Boston called Drug Palace.
There is a family here in Las Vegas that opened a chain of gas stations - the family name is Terrible so you can see Terrible Gas everywhere here…and they took over the truly terrible Continental Hotel/Casino, re-modeled (did a decent job) but now you can go to Terrible’s Casino (across the street and down the road from The Hard Rock)…I don’t envy the guy hired to do marketing for that place.
Here in Santo Domingo, we have Deli Beli Pizza.
Dangit, it was Young Dong, not Long Dong. :smack: My actual joke was about the extra d (dd being a different sound than* d*); ddong in Korean means poo.
I think I’ve posted about this before. Here in RI we have a small independantly owned Chinese place called the “Fu Ming” Restaurant. But whoever did their parking lot signs didn’t know how to use proper capitalization OR spacing, so they say “Parking for FUMING customers only.”
Makes you wonder where the satisfied ones get to park.
“When you’re in the mood for eating out, you’re in the mood for MOM’S TACO! Convienently located at the Oedipus Complex, downtown Thebes.”
I could not get this to open.
It wasn’t Phuket in Sierra Madre, right? I’m dying of curiosity now.
Speaking of gas, there was one of these in Portsmouth, Ohio. Don’t know if it’s still there.
And as another aside, there’s also a Big Bone Lick state park in Kentucky. Passing those signs on the highway always made me chuckle
She had to correct the file name for the link. Here’s the photo.
AFG: I doubt it’s the same picture you have, but there’s a Mom’s Taco photo on the CollegeHumor site. Since the page currently features some potentially NSFW clickable thumbnails, adjust this link accordingly:

AH, that’s why they’re named that. We were wondering when we were driving around in Vegas. We figured it was just people who wanted to call their chain Terrible, for some unknown reason.
I think I must have seen it here on these boards, but I had heard about the Town Pump (i.e. the local floozy), and didn’t realize there were actually gas stations called The Town Pump in the U.S. I pretty much did one of these the first time I saw a Town Pump sign there - :eek: 
(For some reason, Jim’s favourite sign in the whole U.S. was the Pawn-a-rama. That just tickles him.)
Hawaii has a Fook Yuen Chinese restaurant. Right below that is a “Phuket Thai” restaurant.
A friend of mine had a photo of herself taken in front of a restaurant called “Shatan Chinese Food”. It was impossible to call the place and not hear “Shat on Chinese food!” when they picked up.
Don’t we have any Idaho dopers?
