Not that it is really the same thing, but I live by a party store called "I've Just Had a MARVELOUS PARTY!" or something along those lines. It is basically the worst thing to name an establishment ever.

You must promise me something now.
If that store should ever close down, please, please make a big sign that says "Sorry for partying" and tape it to their window or door. And then take a picture of it. This would make me very happy.

While it's a fairly massive chain and in no means pretentious I still love how Quickly is one of the very few shops to have an adverb for a name.
If it's just due to being a translation error or such that they never bothered to do anything about I will take it back a little bit.

I've seen "House of Batman", a clothing store, "Cock", a restaurant, "Bongbong", a clothing store, and "Hunt Kids", also a clothing store. I live in Korea though.

I like to think it was a furniture outlet that only sold pieces that were a shade of orange. I also like to imagine that it was closed when prettyrad saw it because there is no way they could keep a business like that from going under.

The first four panels could be a standalone comic and I would still laugh a good chunk of my hindquarters off..
That's what makes Achewood great; it doesn't stop having panels just because there was a punchline.
and it won't stop until your hindquarters vanish.
