When I went home for Christmas, I passed this store on the way down. The store’s in Moundsville, and I guess it must be new, because I’ve never seen it before.

It’s a shipping store called “Goin’ Postal.”

Am I the only one who feels kind of icky about this? It’s a real company with franchises everywhere. In addition to this one, there are two in the eastern panhandle and one in Hurricane (wow, these jokes write themselves sometimes, don’t they?).

I mean, I realize (like The Other Paige said when I asked her about it) that it’s become sort of a joking term, but I mean, to name your business after a term that basically got coined in the name of insanity and murder?

Helter Skelter Bagels, can I take your order?

Ted Bundy Medical Supplies, where crutches are our specialty.

John Wayne Gacy Clown College and Building Supply, proudly serving Elgin for 30 years.

It seems odd in that context, doesn’t it?

Or am I just losing it because it’s early, I’m moderately caffeinated, I’m behind on what I need to get done, I’ve got my sister’s head cold and I’m annoyed at a persistent reporter?
