jnm: it's a pretty common mistake, unfortunately (google: millennium 121 million results, millenium 58 million)

last week i had to search my own Flickr and change like eight or ten texts where I'd unthinkingly done it with one "N." sigh.

I keep noticing car washes called Bubble & Squeak throughout my region, maybe not a terrible name but it makes me think of tasty shallow fried leftovers and doesn't seem appropriate.

guys cretin homes isn't a pun it is the last name of the proprietors and also they are homes for cretins

There's no stopping the Cretins from housing.

About the 'Massive Discocunts' sign, but the only reference is from the Welsh version of the onion. http://www.walesoncraic.com/

The other day at work though I received this from the classifieds department from a major newspaper.

Thankyou for your payment
I have passed this onto the acocunts department.

massive discocunts is clearly shopped but seemed worth sharing

Dumas, Arkansas's Basically Church. Maybe not so much horribly formed but more like IDGI.

Boy, either way would suck, but I'd rather be forced to use the door with the wheelchair than the one with the Crucifixion scene.

Not as horrible as most here, but I drove past a restaurant called Beef O'Brady's a couple days ago, and it was closed down. Googled it and apparently it's a sports-oriented chain with "See you at Beef's" as a motto, and a My Beefs(R) link on their page that tells you what's going on at a specific location.

nickn, Saturday, 12 September 2015 02:09 (ten years ago)

They're a corporate sports bar chain ... for families.

xp local businesses with horribly formed names that are likely to make them targets for trademark lawsuits.

i misread it as PamPureedPets and was all whaaa

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 17 March 2016 16:56 (ten years ago)

'Darth Vaper' works, but why the fuck did they have to go and put "may the vapour be with you"? That's not a pun. It's not even close to a pun. FFS.

Nick, maybe your one is run by someone called Pam? And she's trained the pets to say her name while purring? "Pam," purred pets.

You could be on to something there. A bit like if Jimi had called that one song MaryCriedWind

perhaps not a per se horrible name, but there's a new place near me called Roast n Co -- it' s a rotisserie chicken and gourmet coffee place that is owned by Jeff Ross, the comedy central roast guy. Durrrrrrrrrrrr
