wonder if somewhere there's a business that fixes dented cars called Coinky Dinks?

Quincy Dental = coincidental (if the previous comment wasn't enough).

it's clever because it's just an accident that it works as a pun

This place just opened in my neighborhood:http://icenyicecream.com/
Can't really figure out what they're going for with the spacing, and the ICE in all caps makes me think of immigration raids.

Not the business name, but on their web site:
"Join us on Thursday nights for live jazz beginning at 8:00 p.m., and live music Friday and Saturday nights starting at 9pm."

I think they're going for "I see New York". Maybe trying to get their name in with London and France?

keep meaning to mention a place that seemed to be opening up near me, with a banner in the window advertising themselves as DOGSTRAINING WALKS. The color changed from light blue to lavender between "DOGS" and "TRAINING" but it was hard not to read it differently. I wanted to take a photo for this thread, but the next time I walked by the banner was gone. Now it's an empty storefront with a few chairs and miscellaneous tossed-about flotsam (including the crumpled banner) visible through the glass.

Not horribly formed but I pass this cafe every day to and from work and the significance of the name is that it's directly opposite Pentonville Prison...

... and, in case anyone hadn't made the connection, they've recently changed the sign so that the O in Breakout is now two prison bars being pulled apart.

In the course of my job, I regularly find myself asking, 'is there some sort of governmental mandate that all daycare facilities and preschools are named by Marilyn Manson?' LITTLE KIDDIES. PEEK-A-BOO. CUDDLE TIME. BELLYRUBS. Okay, that last one was a doggie daycare, but still.

soapy's choice was mentioned to me at a bachelor party and i immediately thought of this thread. we were trying to figure out if these people had just heard the title out there and had no idea what it was (but like look it up or something), or if they were just total sociopaths.

Saw a cupcake caterer van advertsing ARTESIAN CUPCAKES
to be fair it looked to be a middle-eastern company and something obv got lost in translation
but mr veg and i enjoyed pondering the possibilities of delicious cupcakes buried deep under the earth's surface just waiting to be tapped
