Last year we wrote about the endless miles of Florida entrepreneurs whose shops had the funniest names, from the Soap Opera Laundry to Mustard's Last Stand. Now I have noticed that many of these businesses hope customers might be lured by their use of that poetic device, alliteration. As early as Georgia I noted Laundry Land and Wheeler's Warehouse. Florida is the champion with Cocoa Kayakers, Yuppy Puppy, Accurate Archery, Roses R Red, and Chopper Dropper. Doug could spend a day eating his way from the Pita Pit to Huddle House to the Mighty Mushroom. I am hoping we don't have to patronize Collision Crafters, Slug a Bug or Paragon Plumbing. And nobody in this house is allowed to spend a dime at Phantom Fireworks or, God help us, Bare Assets Adult Entertainment (no alliteration, but worth mentioning). If they do, Mom and I will send them off to Resurrection Ranch. Wishing you an Easy Easter!
