If you were going to start a business, what kind of business would it be, and what would you call it?
You trying to cybersquat on us? :shifty:

I always liked North Pole Productions (Peter North's film production company). :cool:

A hair salon called Curl Up And Dye.

Two actual business names in my old neighbourhood when I was growing up:
- A hair salon called "Amorphous Hair Design"; and
- A place called "Entropy Skin Care Clinic".
I always liked the Fryer Tuck fish shop up in Durham, especially since I had a female friend prone to inadvertent spoonerisms at the time. She said it once, quite loud, on a busy bus :D

That would be so awesome: kinda like Precious Moments meets the ACW, only with kittens. Mewlysses S. Grant, Lafayette McClaws, the possibilities are endless.
You guys run with those things. I'll keep the rights to the Christmas-themed mammies, though, since Seedy showed no interest in pursuing.

Mammies are fun the whole year 'round.

Or is that a bespoke lingerie shop from CdM's neck of the woods ?
It depends. Is this an "I actually have to make money at this" business or is it an "I won the lottery and can do whatever business I like even if it runs a loss" business?
If you're running at a loss, it's just an expensive hobby.

Either/or? :unsure:
I just wanted something to make me laugh today. Brazen has accomplished said task. :D

Ever heard the Tom Lehrer version?
QuoteFrom the Bible to the popular song,
There's one theme that we find right along.
Of all ideals they hail as good,
The most sublime is ... motherhood.
There was a man who it seems,
Once carried this ideal to extremes.
He loved his mother and she loved him,
And yet his story is rather grim ...
Or PDQ Bach:
QuoteBut you know I kinda like this town
I think I'll find me a woman and settle down
Good folks and plenty of space
And besides it's nice to be in a place
Where everyone knows old Oedipus Tex
The brother of the legendary Rex
Yeah, I'm Oedipus Tex - that's what I said
But y'know my friends just call me Ed
Well you know me - I'm Oedipus Tex
I'm just as ornery as my brother Rex
Yeah I'm Oedipus Tex - that's what I said
But y'know my friends just call me Ed
Well, howdy, howdy, howdy, howdy, howdy, howdy - I'm Oedipus Tex
Some day I'd kinda like to know whatever happened to my older brother Rex
Yeah, I'm Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus - that's what I said
But my friends just call me Ed

A couple years ago I was part of a group doing summer research in data sciences here on campus. At one point I overheard one of the guys talking about starting a restaurant called the Random Wok. It's feature dish was to be the Gibb's Sampler.

I view it as more of a hobby than work.
