2008 Honda, with Tan Interior.

Obviously tongue-in-cheek, and a creative use of previously existing space, this Tan Factory cracks me up every time I pass it. I've heard of drive-thru restaurants, banks and heck, even liquor stores and gun shops (don't get me started on those), but I presume you'd need a convertible for this one.

Of course, the great irony is that you'd get a better tan with the top down if you weren't underneath a giant awning. That and your skin wouldn't turn a thermonuclear shade of orange.

Up in Smoke.

“Hey kids, look what happens to your teeth when you smoke…”

I must say I had to double take when I saw these packages of baby biscuits. Looking more like a double toke, the round-noggined youngsters appeared to be enjoying a nice tug on a cigar.

Of course - organic or not - that couldn't be possible. While it's not exactly easy to get babies to pose for photographs, you'd think the folks at My Organic Baby might have re-shot this picture rather than have a young Red Auerbach as spokesbaby.

Wanton Wonton.

A new year and yes, it appears that I am still all of twelve-years-old. Or, at least my sense of ha ha is.

Granted, finding humour at the expense of people's and product's names (which appears to be a main preoccupation of this blog) must be one of the baser forms of amusement, but I wonder if this noodle and wonton manufacturer is in any way related to our Malaysian friend, Soon Fatt Hung? Okay, no I don't.

Still an all-time great in the names department, does anybody remember former Maryland basketball player, Exree Hipp? You can also add other basketball classics like Scientific Mapp from Florida A&M (and his brother, Majestic) and God Shammgod (I wonder if the given name helped him avoid a smiting for the 'sham' reference in his surname?) who earned a cup of coffee in the NBA (more like an espresso shot, it was so brief).
