Can you pick out the loser?
"Beef. it's what's for diner"
"Beef. Real food for real people"
"Pork. The other white meat"
"Things go better with cheese."
"Got milk?"
"The incredible edible egg."
"Asperigus. Makes your pee smell funny."

Is Asperigus the same stuff as Asparagus?

I can smell it, but many people can't. I understand there is some mystery about how this works and that the ability to smell the by-products af asparagus divides the human race into two groups - those who smell it and those who don't.

Not a slogan, but I always thought a breakfast joint had a great and scary name. It was located by a station of our version of an underground transit service and was called "The Terminal Café".

Didn't Winston Churchill make that comment at dinner party during World War II?

I bought my first decent recorder from Terminal Music in NYC.... what a way to go!
This place eventually morphed into Courtly Music in NY, and they then moved to upstate NY about an hour from where I live.

There is an origami society called the Bay Area Rapid Folders (BARF).

Ooo, oooh, I get a chance to trot out the old true-and-funny story that those from faraway never heard.

When they built the very nice Unitarian Church a few decades ago in the town of Kensington, they had an awkward moment before deciding to name it: the First Unitarian Church of Berkeley. Couldn't use Kensington for acronymious reasons.
