I'm not crazy about either of them, since their both assigning "ownership" to the consumer.
But mywineguy is gets extra demerits for bad grammar and intent since it isn't as clear whose "wine guy" were talking about here. Is it me, when I type "my wine guy" into the browser? Or is the owner of the URL?
Or is it Mary Wells?

This sport/camping/outdoor chain of stores we have in Belgium and France is just called A.S. Adventure (their former name was "American Stockhouse," hence the A.S.)but I can't read their website https://www.asadventure.com/en/stores.html as anything other than A Sad Venture :(

When I lived in Albuquerque there was a store called Purse-anality. I could never figure out why they went with an 'a' instead of an 'o'.

Every morning I drive past the local facility and every morning, I think about the 100% fabricated marketing conversation that my head insists on replaying:
CEO: I don't just guarantee we've got the lowest price – I certaintee it!
MARKETING GUY: Ok. I like it. But first, first, "certaintee" isn't really a word, and secondly –
CEO: Well I know that! I just made it up!
MARKETING GUY: Secondly, if it really was a word, how would it come to mean a more intense version of "guarantee"? It seems problematic, espe–
CEO: Fuck it! You know what, smart guy? That word's that's not a word is the new name for the company! How's that for an "intense version"? Haha, IT'S GODDMAMMED CERTAINTEED FROM NOW ON.

On Brick Lane yet another place has opened in honour of our old prostitute murderer, this time a chip shop called Jack the Chipper. Slightly worried that the council might eventually get around to making us all have a play on his name at some point. (For example: About a year and a half ago they opened the Turkish barbers ‘Jack the Clipper’)
