N&K Give Away!

bookcoverAcademy Chicago Publishers have offered to send a copy of Nibble and Kuhn by David Schmahmann to one of you!  

Unfortunately, it is open to U.S. and Canada address-holders only.

To enter, answer this question:

Nibble & Kuhn is a ridiculous name for a law firm (so say it’s employees–when the partners aren’t in earshot).  Tell me a product or company with a silly name.  I’ll go first: I keep hearing this laxative tea advertised on NPR called “Smooth Move”.  It cracks me up every time.

For additional entries:

This contest will last until February 7th, 11:59 PM PST.  I’ll announce the winner the next day.

Good luck!

    Well, I think the new iPad has a pretty horrible name – even my 13yo daughter said it sounded like a feminine hygiene product!

    The hair removal product called “nads” cracks me up every time. I can’t believe they’re still in business. I’ve never had to buy ‘nads for myself. :p

    Chuy’s Tex Mex Restaurant (pronounced Chew-ease) I think is not bad but funny!

    When I hear the commercial on the radio for hand cream called “Udder Cream” I think of a cow and start laughing at the idea of a cow’s udders needing lotion

    There was a small cafe up north called “The Roadkill Cafe”. Geez, I wonder why it went out of business. Everytime we drove by we both said, euwwwwwww, who would eat there?

    iPad is pretty silly, considering…(I can’t think of anything else right now, though I am sure there are lots!)

    I can’t think of any product with a silly name. The names listed by other people are pretty good.

    None come to mind at this particular moment. When I submit, I know I’ll think of a whole bunch.

    Heart attack grill – why would you want to eat there?

    We have a dog groomer in town whose name is “Dirty Hairy’s”

    I thing “Bag Balm” is a pretty ridiculous name for a product. It’s a protective ointment to prevent chapped hands.

    In the previous comment “I think……….” not “I thing…….” – sorry!

    I have to go with the I-Pad. Come one they could not think of anything better to call it?
