According to one survey, May is considered the favourite month of the year, October second.  June and December that are tied for third.  With our cool spring, June will be on top this year for us.  So as we launch into our favourite month, I went looking for crazy and strange business, retail and company names.  Here are just three: Analtech Where it's located: Newark, Delaware What it does: Manufacturer of thin layer chromatography plates. How it got its name:Portmanteau of the words "analytical" and "technology." About: Analtech distributes its products to more than 40 countries and 6 continents. McJunkin Where it's located: Charleston, West Virginia What it does: Manufacturer of pipes and valves. How it got its name: Jerry McJunkin was the original co-founder of McJunkin Supply Company in 1921. About:McJunkin Red Man employees around 3450 people and and is #493 on the Fortune 500. Ass Compact Where it's located: Germany What it does: Specialist magazine for Capital and Risk Management How it got its name: This one is anyone's guess.  The rest of the companies are HERE.   There are many articles on this topic.  A picture tour of oddly named business and companies is HERE.  This article has Butt Drilling, Wally's Private Parts, Turd Baby, My Dung, Big Dick's Halfway Inn, AssCompact (see above), Glory Hole Center, Anal Jewelry Center, Beaver Cleaners, The Golden Shower Restaurant, and so on.  Huffington Post took on the challenge and found Goin' Postal.  It is followed by a restaurant with the name of Sam and Ella's.  How about Passmore Gas & Propane?  Even the websites themselves have crazy names - at chive.com they showed these pictures of business names: Mustard's last stand, British Hairways, Lettuce Eat, Juan in a Million, Lord of the Fries, and so on. Another site named Pleated-jeans.com had Jurassic Pork, Surelock Homes, Carl's Pane in the Glass - all as picture stories.  What if you want to create a crazy business name?, I found biznamewiz.com and  typed in my name to get over 15,000 whacky combinations such as: Marilyn Crispy Cornwell Aristotle Cornwell Behold Marilyn Craze Marilyn Sixth Man Our pictures today show the interesting flowers of Anthurium, blooming at Longwood Gardens.
