April Fools: Club owners go polysyllabic
Several Milwaukee nightclub owners are bucking a recent trend in town of
giving their establishments short, one-syllable monikers like Pure,
Rain, Eve or Three.
Instead, these entrepreneurs are thinking big with new bars with big
names. Forget one syllable, forget two syllables. Try five or more, at
new hot spots like Tintinnabulation, Phenolphthalein, Zenzizenzizenzic,
Antidisestablishmentarianism and Hippopotomonstrosesqui- ppedaliophobia.
"In Milwaukee, club owners need to innovate," says Mike Sinjinsmythe,
founder of Phenolphthalein, 1917 N. Water St., a club named for a
pale-yellow laxative. "Every few years, nightclubs names get stale, and
it's up to us to push the envelope."
"Who cares if they don't know what the name means," says Yves Stieves,
owner of the new Zenzizenzizenzic at 1404 E. Brady St. "It's about
creating a buzz, a vibe. For the record, Zenzizenzizenzic means the
eighth power of a number."
But Jameson Eiten, the owner of Snuh, a bar/lounge in Walker's Point
that opened in 2001, says image branding takes time, and simple names
are just easier to remember.
"Keep it short and sweet. I want Milwaukeeans to think 'Snuh' when they
think 'martini.' It's been obvious we've been successful to that end,"
says Eiten, who plans to open up "Muh" this summer and "Buh" in 2006.
Ky Trzybt, the owner of Milwaukee's longest-named bar,
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, 972 S. 2nd St., is betting
otherwise. Ironically, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia means "fear
of long words," but Trzybt remains undaunted.
"I'm not afraid of trying something new in Milwaukee," says Trzybt.
"They say this is a conservative town, but I plan on turning that notion
on its ass. You won't find beer at my bar. Only malt liquor, Everclear,
Absinthe and even cocktails made mostly of antifreeze ... both the blue
AND pink kinds. Five years from now, you watch, people will be ordering
Havoline and juice all over Milwaukee."
Arnold McGreweton, professor of advertising at Marquette University,
says Milwaukee entrepreneurs are going out on a limb with these 25-cent
words, but he applauds their effort.
Says McGreweton, "Well, it's tricky to promote a bar that most people
can't spell, much less pronounce. But hey, Prince was successful when he
changed his name to that squiggle. Occasionally, you can capitalize on
confusion, but it's a big gamble. It's worked twice in four years in the
presidential elections.
"I only hope it's more successful than the trend two decades ago of
those bars that called themselves the addresses of their competitors.
You don't hear much these days from 235 W. Center St. (which was
actually located on the corner of Humboldt and Capitol)."

The awards granted by alt.usenet.kooks are the official Usenet kook
awards, Linda. They were not created for the purpose of devaluing acts
of kindness. They were created, and are maintained, for the purpose of

frauds, forgers, defamers, screed spammers, people who falsely accuse
others of stalking when they themselves are the stalkers, etc. You get
the picture. If you don't, return to the above link and read.
Not just anyone can be nominated; there are standards that must be
upheld. No one may be nominated for purposes of revenge or a joke. Not
all nominations are accepted. There must be evidence of abuse. You have
generated a lot of it. You are an abuser.

It's just Usenet. It's just words. But when someone, kook, idiot, fool
or dumbshit, takes it to r/l measures as has happened to Kali, then
there is going to be some retribution. If that retribution amounts to a
Kook of the Month Award, so the fuck what?

The Sn*h collective is a worthless garbage dump of tired lames, impotent

managed to find common ground and even comraderie with literally
*hundreds* of individuals and groups with whom I, in a former state of

clear among a very, very small group of folks with whom I can find no
common ground, in whom I can find no redeeming value, and for whom I
have absolutely no respect whatsoever.
I wouldn't feed Dean Humphries a handful of my own shit if he showed up
starving on my doorstep and begged for it. And I wouldn't put it past
him to do so.
