I saw this on the way to Tabitha’s place. It’s the exclamation point that really sells me on it. Although maybe, now that I think about it — an exclamation point would make any store name pleasantly ridiculous.
- Whole Foods!
- Virgin Records!
- Duane Reade!
Or is the just slightly too long wording that makes things funny?
- I Could Use Some Whole Foods
- Who Doesn’t Like Virgin Records?
- Wouldn’t Mind Stopping At Duane Reade
It’s both, probably.
This post made me realize I don’t go to a lot of stores.
On my iTunes now:
The Delivery Man by Elvis Costello from "The Delivery Man"

The exclamation mark is urgent, excited, . . . and demanding! Who do they think they are to tell you what to do?!

have you seen “Corner Frenzy”, on Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint?
that’s a great store name even with no punctuation.
It sells ice cream and is also a laundromat. And is on the corner.

There used to be one of those shitty stores on 14th street that was called, inexplicably, “Funny Cry Happy Gift”.
