TESTIMONIALS
Great experience yesterday at Teaffee! Thanks guys!
- Riley J. Monaco

Welcome to the neighborhood, Teaffee!
- Carrollgardens

The special drink of the place is the 'teafee', a blend of tea and coffee concentrate. It's actually quite good.

One day David was having dinner with his family when a waitress intentionally refilled his tea with urine

David had one sip and Eureka!

After a conversation in the office today about something Robin Hood related, I figured something like this had to exist. It turns out there several of them.

there's a dog grooming place in my neighborhood called "Don't Forget Your-Kies" which i guess is a pun on "don't forget your keys", which imo isn't a common enough phrase for a pun

i like the combination medical offices near me that just have a single sign: DENTIST PODIATRIST with that squiggly medical symbol thing in the middle.

had to take one of our cats to the all-night emergency pet clinic nearby. online it's called the After Hours Animal Hospital. but the sign says After Hour Animal Hospital.

andrew m., Friday, 26 July 2013 16:32 (ten years ago) link

Been there twice with animals we had to leave behind.

And as sad as I was the first time, I couldn't help but get "2,3,4 if you close the door, the night could last forever," stuck in my head.

I really hope Mark of Respect is owned by a guy named Mark.

"Don't Forget Your-Kies" may be the worst of the whole thread somehow.

Those store signs were the best.

I saw a pickup today that just had a very small magnetic sign on the lower part of the door
HEATING & AIR

There used to be a pizza place across from my law school (now a shake shack) that had no apparent name, just a giant block letter sign that said PIZZA SALAD. So of course we referred to the place as "Pizza Salad"

to be clear, the pizza place is now a shake shack, not my law school

There's a lighting/DJ equipment hire place here whose name is its phone number, which has the helpful side-effect that you can't look up their phone number without knowing their phone number.

(of course now you can look it up on Google Streetview by plunking the Streetview icon on the street corner you think it might be on, but this place has been going since the days of phone books)

Is the place like 800-44-DANCE or is it just named for some numbers?
