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." Hey, I’ve been to Stuff Mart. I liked Stuff Mart. They had some good stuff.
