Saw some of these in the supermarket, maybe it doesn't hurt their sales but the name sure seems misguided.

IMHO, that's as cringe-inducing as this line of soft drinks:

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

In addition, maybe I'm being a little prissy but something kind of grosses me out about drinking gourmet coffee in a place that smells of chicken fat.

There is a multi-trade type bodger/handyman in my area called The House Doctor, the name could be worse but his work van is a converted ambulance which still retains much electric yellow + very much still looks like an ambulance. And also someone I know who used him to repair some stud walls said his joinery/plastering skills were "fucking dog rough".

xp nothing prissy about that... "rotisserie chicken and gourmet coffee place" sounds disgusting.

new noise, Tuesday, 19 April 2016 15:48 (ten years ago)

"crops 'n bobbers" is perfect... but what is the wagon thing above the sign?

There's a food stand at our international food market called "SHARK SANDWICH". Every time I see that I think of the Spinal Tap bit -- "The review for Shark Sandwich was merely a two-word review, which simply read 'Shit Sandwich'"
