So the in-building cafe at my workplace that was holding a contest to choose their name finally chose their winner. The conquering suggestion? Any guesses?
"The Better Bytes Deli."
Right.
So, now, no offense to the certainly very nice visiting time traveler from 1985 who suggested this name, but really. LAME. I don't know if I could think of something with more practical emptiness.
This...this...THING they've chosen is worse than choosing nothing at all. It's like the difference between accidental death and suicide. Either way you're dead, but if you kill yourself, you're also telling the world that you're a pansy-a$$ idiot. Impressive.
Come on. Really. Attempting to hide the fact that we're gutless retards is part of what proves we merit existing at all.
Meh. Whatever.
I'm just bitter I won't be eating at "The Meat Hutch." That would have been awesome.

The only creative part of that name is the "y". I would eat at the "Meat Hutch" is that makes you feel better. :)

"The Better Bytes Deli"
Wow, someone out there must feel really stupid right now...actually they probably think they are clever...

Hm... Ya know what Dean, after meeting you I am positive that you didn't right this. How could that nice man I met this afternoon have written any of this stuff?
Nonetheless... I agree that the name is lame. "Better Bytes"??? I think it would have been better as "This Deli Bytes."

Very funny, Enna Isilee. But the name is pretty lame...maybe the company will realize that when nobody eats there! And I love the little noise "meh!" So random...

Maybe, just maybe, if they had mentioned something about Quantum Supercomputers and Electron Spin Orientation Detection instead of "bytes" it would have had a sort of "Deli of the Future" appeal. "Progress of Man" and all that instead of plane lame-ness. Then again, probably not.
