Top of the Muffin To Ya

Was driving around yesterday looking for some guitar strings (I had a destination in mind, I wasn't just hoping to find some on the side of the road)...when I spotted another one of my peeves, a store not-so-cleverly named in a pun-like fashion: Quilty Pleasures.

This practice has been so out-done, it drives me nuts. Often times, the connection is so stretched that you wonder why they would have even bothered. Nobody cares about how clever your name is. The hairstyling industry is a particular offender in this regard...things like The Hair Force, Hair Force One, Hair's To You [and possibly Mrs. Robinson], etc.

Try it...make up some of your own. Get a gov't grant and start that cleverly defined business. Here, I'll get you started [with 25% commission of course]. If I had time, I'd even Photoshop some logos for you.

• Beauty Call [aesthetics] *add "Late night" if you want to tap into that niche market.
• Yeast of Burden [bakery]
• Bandanarama [hair accessories + possible copyright infringement]
• Meat in the Middle [sandwich shop]
• Pole Position [gentleman's establishment]
• Holy Sheet! [bedding]

I could use this as a segue into crappy slogans, ie. Mike's Radiators "The Best Place to Take A Leak", but I'll leave that for another day.
