srsly, one of the best restaurant names I've ever seen was "What The Pho"
My favorite restaurant name is one I saw in Australia: "Thai Me Kangaroo Down."
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I like my local Thai place, named "I Am Siam."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Why is it that a good four out of five Thai restaurants have puns in their names anyway? You don't see it with nearly that regukarity with other cuisines.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Oh, the lovely irony. I just called our non-emergency number for police/fire/medical (needed to get the number for the local road maintence and was feeling to lazy to look for it online, figured i'd bother a co-worker instead) and it didn't work! Just rang 30 times without going into the phone tree like it's supposed to. Tried again in case i misdialed, but nope. So i called a supervisor to let them know from a reliable source that all the cranky callers saying the number isn't working are actually correct....this time. (There is a lot of user-error with the phone tree.) Vacationing calltaker is informative!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Thai puns are definitely A Thing - my old neighborhood Thai place was Three Bow Thais.
Oddly, my current neighborhood has more Thai restaurants than you can shake a stick at, but no really glaring puns. To Be Thai is the cutest name, but not really punny.

Just had a support call from a Southern gentlemen, and he was describing the work he needed to do on a gazebo: "And there was some hail damage". Only with his accent it sounded like "hell damage," and I swear to god, the thought that went through my mind was "Oh, the Winchester Brothers have been through town?"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
This is worth sharing. My birthday cake.
Actually, *that's* not really noteworthy; it's just the lead-in to The Candle On My Cake, Or, Why The Boy Is The Best Boyfriend EVER. (The candle was a surprise; he kept it in a bag and wouldn't let me see it until it was on the cake.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

The Boy is, indeed, made of win.
(Bev, I did go watch the vid before reading down to the sensible suggestion that we not increase his hits. I left comments to point out that he was a sad, sad, cowardly misogynist loser from the planet fail - because he really, really is.)
