When I was visiting my a relative on Missouri we passed by a pub (we call them bars here in the states) named "The Glory Hole". I called information to get their phone number. I called them up to ask if they are a gay bar and the bartender said "No".

Most of those aren't bizarre. Indeed the Crooked Billet is quite a common name for a pub and it just means a bent log or branch. This probably dates to the time when pub signs were often physical objects, the crooked billet in that case just being a branch hung outside the pub.

If you want properly weird names we have a few round here. The Wappy Spring and Nont Sarah's can't be more than two or three miles apart and that's just two.

Everyone KNOWS a unicow's milk has sparkles in it. It only eats skittles and it poops rainbows. Do not taste those rainbows, BTW.

The unicow will be held captive until it dies but will have lots of visitors taking pictures of it. If it's smart it will start charging for the pictures.

Maybe skittles can make a chocolate version and unicow can then make chocolate milk with sparkles! oh, yummy!
