Do you have any idea how many times I've heard someone say "I'm going to Kum n' Go!"?

HOLY JEEZUS . . . yeah, that's a midwest chain - the CEO's grandson played hockey w/ me in high school . . . well, we played inline hockey in the summer to keep in shape, and well we got competitive and went to nationals a couple years. We needed a sponser, so this kid's dad and grandfather offered an obscene amount of money for jersey ad space - they even bought new jerseys w/ "KUM AND GO" on them . . . on the very bottom back of the jersey . . . which, if you're at all familiar w/ hockey, you know this goes right over your ass. So . . . i'd line up to take a face-off or whatever, and it'd say "KUM AND GO" on my ass in HUGE letters, with a big shiny circle around it for added effect. Some wise-ass from Oklahoma finally caught on, and starting bagging on us for it - we ripped off the tags and played w/out them for the rest of the tournament . . . we ended up getting third, but the stigma of "KUM AND GO" innuendo never really left.
(Maybe this should go in the 'embarrassing moments' thread too, huh?)
