STRANGE NAMES AND THINGS

There's a sauna on the Old Kent Road called Sauna 666 (passed it on a bus). There's an arcade on Peckham Rye called Jive Leisure that if you look at in reverse says 'Evil Leisure'. Inside the window of this arcade is a porcelain model of a shepherd sleeping whilst his flock wander off.

There's a 90% chance that the zip on your coat/jeans etc says YKK on it.

In my continued attempts to shun conformity I only wear garments with velcro fastenings. Perhaps that's why my sheep keep running away?

The zip on my raincoat says SALMi.

No conformist YKK zips for me, oh no.

I once bought a hot chocolate after swimming at the local pool and discovered the word "cunt" embossed on the biege plastic cup. As I drank the water-uht solution I pondered whether this was a message solely for me. I was amazed when the cocoa powder silt stuck to the bottom of the cup to reveal the shape of a penis.

As a youth I had the occasional Marlboro and it was a widely known urban myth that there were various KKK (ku klux klan) signs dotted around the packet.
What or who is YKK?

YKK = Young Kid Kaid

Singer for now defunct group Technotronic. They had a hit single with "pump up the jam" in the late eighties. I guess that cat started makin zippers when they told em to "zip it".

The founder member of that well known zipper organisation had not only a pension for all in one white garments (which was what necessitated the zips in the first place) but also liked a little tipple.

Gino, you're right. I fired the research intern just for that.

Gino, you are right. I've mad an example of my research intern. He's strung up with his entrails flapping in the wind.
