Nev er mind the fact he's a plonker, but what's with the name? Am I missing a clever pun of some sort?

Cross-post to the Freemen on the Land thread
"Mr Walton has presented arguments against lockdown which appear to be rooted in the “freeman on the land” conspiracy theory.

Its proponents say laws only apply to someone with their consent. No such argument has ever succeeded in court."

I don't think it's a pun btw

Except for the holy/holey pun.

'Holy skin' isn't a phrase afaik? (is it?) Can't say it's really bothered me before, though!

Not that I know of, but maybe they specialize in religious/new agey/etc work, and thought the "hole" aspect of tattooing was worth the stretch.

“I make holes in your skin”

maybe they do a lot of piercing? otherwise, I would not want to get a tattoo from a guy who said "yeah we'll put some holes in your skin"; seems like he may be missing the point.

Nothing Bundt Cakes is already pretty drippy, but the logo looks like it says "butt cakes"

Especially from a distance, like on a sign

That's one of the worst so far
"those really 'nothing' bundt cakes, meh"

The name is bad enough, but the logo looks like an actual turd.

They should really team up with these folks: local businesses with horribly formed "names"

You were wrong, it is :)

It didn't quite meet the level of the child's party violinist who went by "the Kiddy Fiddler."

Sew it Seams

amazing!
I refuse to believe in 'the Kiddy Fiddler'

The post I responded to where I made that joke is a dead link now, but it was something on that line (though not as one-the-nose).

Intended to evoke Peyton Place, I guess, but instead conjures an image of Peyton Manning receiving a lap dance.

I don't know how anyone could ever feel comfortable leaving their kids at a daycare called Little Kiddies.

A new business just opened two doors down from our local Nothing Bundt Cakes (with the typeface that looks like it says "butt" and the logo that looks like poop).

What's the new place called?

It's called...

iCream Yogurt & Crepes

Slogan: you don't want a butt cake? Okay, I (will) cream (in your) yogurt.

Missed opportunity for Oliver Tan.

wait, that's for real?

iDrink Your Milkshake

this maybe belongs on "your terrible ideas" but i have the notion for a charming, quirky, vaguely dated coffee shop named "Knowing Beans, Knowing Brew"
