  The “Stupid Prices” one is actually found near here (it’s a chain of closeout stores found in California, Oregon and Washington that sell mostly furniture and some home electronics.) For a while they actually had hats with the words “Stupid customer” printed on them available in the store. I suspect those were given away mostly to the people who annoyed the staff…

  Here in L.A. there used to be a chicken restaurant called “Peckers”.

  In Orange county I saw a furniture store called “Two Stupid Guys Selling Furniture”.

  If you want a big hat

  If you need a tub of glue

  Hey, I’ve been to Stuff Mart. I liked Stuff Mart. They had some good stuff. The problem with lists like these is it’s clear that a lot of these guys just got a sense of humor about themselves. It’s like the South Lake Union Trolley here in Seattle. We knew it spelt Slut. We thought it was funny. We sold T-shirts. Then everybody took it seriously and the named got changed. I tell ya, I don’t want to meet the man who takes public transportation seriously.

  My restaurant doesn’t even have a name. There’s a picture of a hamburger in the window. That’s it. When I answer the telephone I just say “hello.”
