Ask Lemmy

It wasn't the name alone that did it, but I got the Newbury Comics pressings of Phanerozoic I and Phanerozoic II (by The Ocean) on vinyl because A) the name is cool, and B) the pressings looked cool. Turns out the albums sound cool too.

I gave The Crazy World of Arthur Brown a try because of the album artwork. Turns out it's now one of my favorite albums.

I'd heard Ziltoid the Omniscient was good, but what really won me over was the album artwork. Between the cheesy name and cheesy artwork, I had to give it a listen. It's easily one of the greatest albums of all time.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

I've been considering getting one of Intel's Raptor Lake cpus.

Uh, I'm trying to think if there's anything else. There have been games that have caught my eye purely because of the name, but none of them were that great iirc. I think Risk of Rain mighta been one of them, and that one was pretty good; but most of the games I've tried based on name alone were pretty meh from what I remember.

There was a place near where I used to live called The Bargin Store. I tend to avoid places that can't spell their own name correctly.

Penny Dreadful. I just… can’t.

Ford

Oscar Meyer products. I've never eaten one knowingly and I plan to keep it that way.

Thought of another! I don't have opportunity to go there anyway, cos they're not in my country, but I always thought In-N-Out Burger was a uniquely terrible name.

So, it's a burger that will be in and out. Why will it be in and out? Are you going to vomit it back up? Or is it because it'll give you diarrhea? Or what else could In-N-Out mean? Sex? Why are you making me think about sex in such proximity to vomit and diarrhea? Honestly, I'm not hungry anymore.

I always thought it was a deliberately horrible name to court controversy, but it turns out the owner is a conservative Christian so it may be genuine tone deaf idiocy.
