Real true store names I drove by today

There’s a beauty shop in a suburb of Cleveland called “Gu Gu Bumps.”

I have no idea what it means.

Maybe the owner was a Rolling Stones fan?

I’d do it. :cool:

Ghana is also known for the infamous Pee Cola.

A store opened recently in my area called Harle Queens.

There’s S&M Guns in Oregon.

I was in England awhile ago and saw a sign for this place.

And let’s not forget our internet store friends at Dyke, Inc. Don’t forget to pick up your Dyke five-hole device while you’re there.

Ruben’s Baby Factory in Chicago. Apparently now tore down. It impressed me as funny in the 80’s when i saw it.

On a slightly different note, there used to be a fireproof storage warehouse in Cambridge, Massachusetts, near the Necco factory (it may still be there, but this was years ago). The phrase “fireproof storage warehouse” was painted on the side in large letters. From the vantage of the nearby traffic light, a corner of that building or another occluded part of the lettering so that it read “ireproof rage warehouse,” which always cheered me up. If it’s still there maybe I’ll get a photo when I’m in Boston at the end of the summer.

Many bar names in Thailand are precious. Patpong used to have two bars side by side called Pussy Galore and Pussy Alive. As I’ve reported elsewhere, a friend and I were walking past those one night. Pussy Galore was jumping, but Pussy Alive was dead with no customers and maybe five girls. A lady at the door of the latter attempted to entice us inside, and the words of my friend to her shall live in my memory to my dying day: “Sorry, but the pussy looks more galore over there than it does alive in here.” (There’s still a Pussy Galore Sports Bar in Pattaya, I hear.)

Pattaya, which is sleaze central, has these bar and guesthouse names:

BJ Club and The Pump Station (both of them blowjob bars)
Pussy Beer Bar
The Dogs Bollocks
Naughty Girls
Dick Inn
Monkey Business Bar
Lick Bar
The Drunken Duck
Fcuk Inn (spelled like that)
Inn Love

BJ Services

In the upper Midwest you can Kum and Go! Coincidentally or ironically, while I was chuckling about that gas station, I saw the county courthouse’s sign: I was in Cuming County, Nebraska. I’m not sure if it’s there anymore, but for the longest time you could stop by the “Park N Blow” in Florence, South Carolina, to get something to eat on the way to Myrtle Beach.

There’s one in Ottawa too, if you can believe it (and we don’t even call cigarettes ‘fags’!) It’s in a relatively gay part of town, however.

In Winnipeg there was a store called Eyelet Dove. To this day I have no idea what that means or what the store does. (It was still there as of 2001.)

Slightly more transparently, there was a plumbing store in Winnipeg called W. C. Potts.

There’s a liquor store near Russelville, Ala. that I have to drive past on the way to my in-laws called “Big Daddy’s Package”.

On Lee Road! I pass it every day!

And, for anything you might want custom-fitted onto that five-hole device there’s Dykes Lumber. :eek:

As for me, the store I drove by yesterday had me wondering:

Super Natural Market

There were lots of empty parking spaces. Maybe the brooms park on top? :smiley:

There are, of course, various incarnations of AA Liquor out there.

I’d always been curious about a place here called Korean Live BBQ. Until we went inside, and it turned out to be a fairly standard-issue Korean BBQ joint.

Holy shit, I can’t believe I forgot this: in Lachine, there’s a restaurant called **Hentai Sushi & Grille. **

I am not making this up.

And then there’s the gay bar in Patpong 2 called Screw Boy. Really. (And no, I’ve not heard of them offering underage products.)
