local businesses with horribly formed "names"

What is SoyFACE?
SoyFACE (Soybean Free Air Concentration Enrichment) is an innovative facility for growing crops under production field conditions in an atmosphere that has higher levels of carbon dioxide and ozone, higher temperature and altered soil water availability. SoyFACE was designed to discover the effects of atmospheric change on the agronomy and productivity of Midwestern crops as well as to find solutions that will lead to crops better adapted to this future.

I've learned that "'Abba' signifies the close, intimate relationship of a father and his child, as well as the childlike trust that a young child puts in his 'daddy',” but this pamphlet struck me as funny when I first saw it (and didn't know).

(It's a Christian thing at a local church.)

It's just the Hebrew word for father...still weird.

Yeah, but the font references the band, right? So maybe there is some kind of "wink, wink" going on. It is apparently a Japanese-American Christian church.

Horribly formed to the point of legal altercation.

I noticed this place when I was in Hastings last year:

They should really move a few doors up the street (however many 30 numbers is).

I passed by one of my favorites the other day: the salon-barbershop SHEAR PANDEMONIUM

It took me fully 5 minutes of rumination after driving past this store to figure out what they were going for: a store called SCRAPENDIPITY

All I could see was “scrape” and I was totally stumped for a bit.

I was waiting at a bus stop in the summer, opposite a shop called KATASTROPHIES. They sold what looked like shit trophies for Sunday league football teams. Admirable project, dreadful name.

Yeah, they should have called it Cat Ass Trophies and had every trophy be in the shape of a cat's bumhole.

wait, kata is short for katarina and a fairly common name both in sweden and across the slavic countries. kata's trophies would be an excellently formed name!

(i will never miss the chance to post kate nv videos)

Lmao emil.y

Lol emil.y. And by the look of the shop, Kata's Trophies was *way* beyond them as a construction.

There's a brewery called Dynasty Brewing.

Their social media handle, however, is @brewdynasty.

I cannot stop reading it as "brew de nasty."

Your branding > theirs

I’m in Florida right now and just saw a portable toilet from a company named Knight Jon Boy

Wok This Way

San Antonio Tx

how is business name formed?

Saw this a couple of weeks ago. Not horribly formed so much as weirdly formed. A) doesn't need an adjective ii) why THAT adjective?

KJ was not available for comment.

there is a car-towing company named Tow Jam

KJ's Roomy Footwear: Blisteringly Low Prices!

“She is the founder of healthy cooking and recipe website Sunee, the co-founder of creative production agency House of Groms and co-host of podcast The Healthcode alongside her husband Tilse.”

I mean, roomy footwear is a good thing, as long as it's not too roomy.

I am told that there was an old woman who totally like LIVED in a shoe. I hope it was roomy.

It was pretty cramped until she beat her kids and sent them to bed.

Roomy *is* good, I guess, but there are a few things you want straight before *roomy* is a consideration.

can’t think of the best place for it, but this youtube video for a local punk record and clothing shop made me absolutely lose my fucking mind laughing

reminded me that I still need a vinyl copy of My War which is inexplicably expensive in the UK, damn you Ginnnnnnnn!

Talk about horribly formed!

Passed by a caribbean/jamaican outdoor food stall over the weekend: Jerkin' It

every other day I walk past this restaurant and think "fucking hell, don't call your restaurant that, have some self respect, jesus christ"

Yes, wildly popular here, but I think only a couple locations, which keeps the lines long.

In Brevard county, there's a public transportation company called Space Coast Area Transit.

But, as I learned this weekend, they're referred to everywhere by their acronym which is

I have the same feelings about Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
