Names 'n Things

Sunday, January 28, 2007 - 01:35 AM

Every time I drive by a "Linens 'n Things", it makes me laugh. What a ridiculous name. It's like the naming committee got off to a good start...but then suddenly realized that lunch had arrived, and just quickly voted for Linens 'n Things.

I believe the general mood, as they took the vote, was "Meh."

-----

And as for Subaru? Ahhh, gentle Subaru. Your cars shall always remain among the pantheon of Citroens and Pontiac Azteks and early-90s Saabs...cars that allowed their owners to broadcast to the world: "I don't like to look attractive in any way. Please, stop flirting with me and inviting me to parties and fun summer BBQs. Perhaps you didn't notice, but I drive a Subaru."
