Local company name funnies

Archived from groups: rec.games.frp.dnd (More info?)

Do you have any local company names that name you laugh, but non-gamer
friends might not "get it"?

Here's a few from Rhode Island:

D&D Shoe Repair
Set's Garage
Case de Horta (a bridal boutique)
James Sauhagan (a lawyer -- awfully close to a certain apropos monster)

Do you have any of your own?

Really, it's ONLY a Star Trek Classic funny... I just thought there was
enough crossover that most D&D players would "get it". :^)

At first I thought you were talking about Vivica Fox and another woman,
and I got all hot.

Point of information: "Sahagu'n" is a town in north-central Spain
about 45 miles south-east of Leo'n. 900 years ago, a monastery
located there was the traditional burial place of kings.

Down the street there's AD&D Insurance.

If your character dies early, you get a sizable gold piece return, I
guess.

I was out in Sooke yesterday. Be careful about eating at 17 Mile House
pub -- they're selling "$2 bugers".

Yeah, that was my second thought. First was "boogers aren't worth very
much... that must be *huge*"

I'm not sure if that'd be a good deal or not. I suppose it depends
which end of it your on. And how your tastes run toward that sort of
thing.

If you're right, either way I'm *really* glad my son didn't go in.
