Please, no oily or sandy pelts.

Local ads and signage that never disappoints. Sorry for my tiny cell phone pic, but good things come in small packages. Like the TINY VIKING LAUNDROMAT in a shopping center near Logoville. You can’t see it too well, but it does in fact say, TINY VIKING LAUNDROMAT. The little fellas get dirty when they’re out pillaging, what can I say. Add a coffee bar and wireless and you have one hell of a niche customer. Now, Chinese restaurants usually have the oddest naming conventions going, pairing an adjective with an animal, like Happy Sloth, Joyful Grouse, etc., but TVL is sheer brilliance. You’ve combined physical differences, non-existant societies and the service sector. Taken one step further, I’m thinking ALBINO ROMAN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY could work for the right business owner.
