Newsgroup poll #2
8 years ago I asked the rec.boats newsgroup to help name my retail store
outlet and I picked "Buoys & Toys" which I thought was a pretty cool play on words at the time. In reality most people don't get it or don't know what we actually sell (some even think it's a gay Adult Novelty store lol) I am once again turning to my friends (old and new) in this newsgroup to help me rename the store to something that is unique and descriptive, that also reflects the stock change from strictly marine to marine supplies, Liquor, beer, and convenience items (milk, bread butter etc) Let's have some fun with this and see if we can't pull a rabbit out of a hat in the process. Any names you've seen at other marinas you thought worked well too? If I don't get something catchy soon, I'm gonna have to go with "General Store" as a cop out this time around. I'll save someone the first easy one - I'm not naming it Booze n Boats. :-) The floor is yours.... -- Regards, Dave Brown Brown's Marina Ltd http://brownsmarina.com/ |

I'll save someone the first easy one - I'm not naming it Booze n Boats. :-) The floor is yours.... You trusted a group of anonymous internet bozos to name your store last time, and they came up with "buoys and toys", and now you're asking the same group of bozos again?? Good luck :-) |

Good luck :-) I'll pass that along to my wife - she actually came up with the name we used. ;-) -- Regards, Dave Brown Brown's Marina Ltd http://brownsmarina.com/ |

Darn, here I though I was so original, but it looks like the same name was also proposed in the original poll ... which, btw, was 10 years ago, Dave. Here is a link to the original results: http://tinyurl.com/36yz5b At least it got an honorable mention back then :) . Larry Weiss "...Ever After!" |
