There's a store called "BJ's"?

[yvr girl]

That just seems wrong.

[DS1]

1. Yeah

there's two near me :D

[yvr girl]

3. Correct me if I'm wrong, but

isn't it a discount store? Did they intend on giving it a name that could be seen as riske?

[DS1]

4. Yeah, bulk sales

The BJ's Member Card is extended to immediate family, too :D

[ForrestGump]

2. Restaurants, too. It's been a long time, but I've had a few very nice

visits to BJ's....

[bertha katzenengel]

5. "BJ's Warehouse." Like Costco.

Their house brand of merchandise is called Berkely & Jensen. We shop there. It's never bugged me, and I am super-ultra-sensitive about random ugly sex talk. I never even thought of it that way.

[Wapsie B]

6. Sounds like it should be an adult book store.

[Giant Robot]

7. slightly off topic but...

I did a double take by a store called the French Connection UK(or something like that). They just abbreviated the letters on their sign FCUK. Have a picture of it somewhere because I thought it was so funny.

[Kat45]

19. I think that is totally intentional.

They run ads with the initals in huge letters as well.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. BJ? What? Oh, wait a minute........

I did NOT get it at first......but now I do......

You are very naughty, my dear yvr girl! :evilgrin:

And you've taught it to me! :cry:

[Redstone]

9. And there's a Mexican restaurant here that's called

"C.O. Jones" which if you take out the periods and spaces and capital letters is pretty damn insulting to Hispanics.

There's cute, and there's just stupid. This one is just stupid. I'd not eat there if they would feed me for free.

Redstone

[Kat45]

18. No way!

Wow! I wonder why they did that?

[Redstone]

20. Truth. It's in Hamden, Connecticut. The local Spanish folks have

bitched and complained, but have not been able to get them to change it. I'd starve before I'd eat there.

Redstone

[Kat45]

21. Is it a Mexican restaurant not owned by Mexicans?

Not a good way to attract Latino customers; they must be catering to the gringos. :hi:

[Redstone]

22. Of course it's owned by honkies.

And it attracts the 21 to 25 lowlife bar crowd, so I don't suspect the food is all that good either.

Feh. We go to the Mexican restaurant in Middletown, where the staff barely speaks English, and we can get Carnita Verde burritos and REAL Margaritas (Tequila, Triple Sec, and lime juice, and none of that sweet-and-sour crap).

Redstone

[Deja Q]

10. Where? Where!

:rofl:

[DS1]

11. You can order a BJ Vacation online

http://www.bjs.com/

[LynneSin]

12. You have to be a member to shop there

I'm just saying!

[ForrestGump]

13. A member?

:rofl:

:spank:

[LynneSin]

16. Yeah, I thought that would be a good laugh

:shrug:

[yvr girl]

14. Do you have to get tested or something first?

(I saw an ad for the store on TV - I'd never heard of them before.)

[LynneSin]

15. Just pay the $50 membership fee

They're not that fussy.

There's a BJ's down the road from where I live. Never had a membership there though

[johnnie]

17. We had one out here

And it was next to Dick's sporting goods. Seriously..LOL.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Oh GOD!

Tell me you're kidding, my dear johnnie!

That had to be intentional!

ROFLMAO!

:rofl:

[johnnie]

25. Nope, not kidding

It was funny. They have closed both.

[ForrestGump]

24. Weren't you saying, too, that this one was across the street from BJ's?

[johnnie]

26. Lol

What is that place?

[ForrestGump]

28. I think it's a men's fashion store, maybe in Hamburg

Can't remember...just always remembered the name, for some reason.

Those crazy Old Europe types! :D

[AlCzervik]

27. yup, BJ's wholesale club, it's like Costco.

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. Yeah, and it's totally false advertising, so don't even bother with it.

I've played that game, and it got me nowhere.

[ForrestGump]

30. I'm more interested in "CL's"

I'm looking forward to shopping there again. Very much so. Licking my lips with anticipation, no less.

[hibbing]

31. kum and go

Some kwikimart chain here changed their name to Kum & Go, which I found a rather horrid name, it didn't last long though and now is back to something else.

Peace

[evlbstrd]

32. Those are very common in northern Iowa.

I always thought the name was hysterical, and so did my kids.

[hibbing]

33. that's Iowa for you

Just kidding, I'm a neighbor. Not sure if some ownership deal or what, but the name certainly didn't last long here in town. I'm sure a lot of people get a kick out of it. I always liked Pump & Pantry myself.

Peace

[evlbstrd]

35. You know what IOWA stands for?

I won't do that. I'm a neighbor, too. Welcome to DU!

[hibbing]

36. okay, now I have to know

Just what does IOWA stand for? Thanks for the welcome!

Peace

[evlbstrd]

38. Oh, alright.

Idiots Out Wandering Around.
And while I'm at it, do you know what the N on Nebraska football players' helmets stands for? Nowledge.
don't tell anyone you heard it from me.

[hibbing]

39. N

Guess I must have read something wrong there, thought you were in Iowa? Can't believe I haven't heard that one before. The N one, plenty of times.

Peace

[evlbstrd]

41. I've driven through Iowa a lot.

I live in Missouri, and had a kid at the University of Minnesota. I love Minneapolis.

[SoCalDem]

43. Know why Oklahoma is the rudest state???

It won't stop pointing at New mexico

[evlbstrd]

46. D'oh!

Now that you mention it, it does look rude.

[WCGreen]

34. I went there and all I got was some lousy office supplies...

And here I thought......

[In_The_Wind]

37. Yes

I had some spare time so I was shopping there yesterday.

[MarianJack]

40. We Love Shopping at BJ's

Sam's is a half mile away, BJ's is 20.

We make a family outing of it and Walmart doesn't get my money!

The best of both worlds!

[begin_within]

42. There's a convenience store called "Kum & Go" in Omaha

[Wapsie B]

48. There's lots of Kum & Screams

err Kum & Go's here. :eyes:

[gizmo1979]

44. I'm so there.

[Arkana]

45. Yeah, there's one here in Auburn

It's a great store...and it's preferable to ultra-red Sam's Club.

[Left Is Write]

47. I used to live on Bea Jay Lane.

Yes, I had friends who made fun of that little fact.
