To pass the time between slavery and Scotch, do you often find yourself streaming old episodes of The Simpsons on illegal, Asian-based Web sites? Um, neither do we, but if we did we think we'd notice that almost every old episode offers the viewer something new at which to laugh. The show's got staying power, and a key element of that is its background puns. Specifically, the names of Springfield stores and businesses usually on screen for just seconds, like a French restaurant named Chez Guevara or the Turn Your Head and Coif hair salon.

If you're as big a nerd as we are, you've taken to coming up with your own funny names for fictitious bars and shops. Our best: a family-owned dog catching service called The Brothers Carry Mutts Off. We think it's a good one, but perhaps not the ultimate. What do you have? Leave it in the comments for appraisal.

After making a joke about how everyone hates him because he's pissed on the world, President Bush went back to brainstorming ways to stop Kobes' peers from killing themselves.
