Yep. Just a bed with a bed post.

This company focuses on low cost hotel properties. So a simple bed was
appropriate. Their rooms are simple and clean. And inexpensive. One of
the most important criteria was to convey affordable and
family-oriented.

Phooey. That's no fun. I can't zoom in. ;-)

That is a lot like the announcement my father did for my birth some 50 years
ago.

Great minds...

We had another concept where we named him Pitter. The story went that he
would become a musician, meet Lowell George's grandson and they would
form a band. He would be know as Pitter Patterson of Little Feat. They
were to produce such songs as Pixie Chicken, Fat Mom in the Bath Tub,
Pee Can Blues, Beets Don't Flail Me Now, Waiting for the Bus, etc.
Needless to say this concept got pretty heavy and we went with the penis
pun.

Since Lowell's been dead for over 27 years now, longer than many ADG posters
have been on earth, I guess both our ages are showing in this post. Yours
for thinking of him and mine for getting it.

Now, would anybody get it if I made a Sneaky Pete Kleinow reference?

Hey Fred,

Thought of this one recently as a visual pun.

Not one I like, but it's been successful.

Yes, that's probably the most well known visual pun, and I hadn't thought of
it. It has been successful, no doubt. I guess it has to do with appealing to
your target market.

Great. Thanks for reminding me it's been *that* long ago.
Well that was over my head. But you're into music more than I. Let's
stick to Hopalong Cassidy references, shall we.

Don't know Sneaky Pete Kleinow!! I'll bet you know his work, both musical
and his visual animated effects. He's played peddle steel guitar with
everyone from the Rolling Stones to Linda Rondstadt. His visual animated
effects have been seen in many movies and commercials including the
Chuckwagon Dogfood and the Pillsbury Doughboy comercials. He's also done
work on the Gumby cartoons.

And so, to open the bADGer lounge this weeknd, I'll pour you a Jack Daniels
and give you the link to Sneaky Pete's homepage (well, so he can't do web
design. Nobody's perfect) http://sneakypetekleinow.com/
