Having attended a bunch of outdoor concerts, festivals, etc across the US and Europe I’m always fascinated by the names of companies that rent porta potties. Is there a union somewhere that requires companies to give themselves (sometimes) ridiculous names? :-)

One of my personal favorites (and local at that) is “Honey Bucket” (see picture) … I mean, don’t sugar coat it or anything.

A quick Google or Flickr search reveals even more:

• A Royal Flush
• Call-a-head
• Jerry on the Job
• Wizards of Ooze

From a comment on Dave Barry’s site I found the following as well:

20. Happy Can Portable Toilets, Atlanta
19. Drop Zone Portable Service Inc., Frankfort, Ill.
18. Blackmas Best Seat In The House Inc., Bradley, Ill.
17. Plop Jon Inc., Port Saint Lucie, Fla.
16. A.S.A.P. Port-A-Pots Inc., Hampstead, Md.
15. Ameri-Can Engineering, Argos, Ind.
14. Bobby’s Pottys, Joppa, Md.
13. Johnny On The Spot Inc., Old Bridge, N.J.
12. LepreCAN Portable Restrooms, Chicago
11. Loader-Up, Inc., Sarasota, Fla.
10. Mister Bob’s Portable Toilets, Vero Beach, Fla.
9. Royal Throne, Washington, D.C.
8. Tanks Alot, Tomball, Tex.
7. Tee Pee Inc, Roseville, Mich.
6. Wizards of Ooze Ltd., Anacortes, Wash.
5. Oui Oui Enterprises Ltd., Chicago
4. Gotta Go Potties, Tobyhanna, Pa.
3. UrinBiz.com, Chicago
2. Willy Make It?, Oregon City, Oreg.
1. Doodie Calls, New Orleans

Wow … this is just fascinating to me and the thought process that goes into this is just too much. Its got to be a this-should-stick-in-your-head kind of thing but then, when do you want to remember a porta potty company?! Dunno.
