"Hello, I'm Tiffani, and I am excited to tell you about the new 3 Egg Omelet Combo special at IHOP today. But first, did you know this IHOP is on land stolen from the Tonkawas, Caddoes, and Coahuila Tecans? I am a Caucasian with short brown hair and I am wearing an IHOP uniform."

What ever happened to meaty two-fisted corporate names like Union Carbide or Standard Oil or General Plow? Now it's all bullshit babytalk like Floopi or Jibbo or Giggle
If I started a company I would name it American Slab & Chock. It wouldn't necessarily make slabs or chocks, I just like the name
Velcome to Part 2 of the #DavesCarIDService Halloween Scrapyard of Horrors BWA HAHAHAHA <pipe organ blast>
*That of course is Drag-U-La, designed by Tom Daniel and built at the Barris Kustom shop in 1966, featuring a real fiberglass casket bought from a Valley funeral parlor, dual quad Ford 289, Radir mags rear and SpeedSport wires front.
The other car is a boring Ferrari, who cares
Controversially, there are 2 cinematic Drag-U-La origin stories: the Munsters series (Grandpa build it to win back the Munster Koach that Herman lost in a drag race) and the "Munster Go Home" movie (Grandpa built it for Herman to drive in a cross-country race).
