"This place sounds great. The only thing Keene needs more than a great Pho place is a sense of humor."

Said a commenter, quoted in "A New Hampshire city council is miffed by ‘Pho Keene Great’ restaurant name" (WaPo).

Hahaha, now that's funny. Kinda demands a "Lighten Up Francis" tag.

I Have Misplaced My Pants કહ્યું...

I don’t mind a little nod to decorum in this coarse, profane, vulgar culture we find ourselves in.

Bay Area Guy કહ્યું...

My favorite restaurant in ChinaTown in NYC was Won Hong Lo.

So, there's that.

AZ Bob કહ્યું...

The problem can be remedied by changing the name to Pho King.

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent કહ્યું...

Yeah, kind of funny, but not something you want on a sign in your town. The same people who who complain about rising incivility have no fucking idea how this kind of thing contributes to the decline.

gspencer કહ્યું...

I had wondered what the pilots of Asiana Flight 214 - Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk - had been doing after the abrupt termination of their aviation careers.

rehajm કહ્યું...

The folks down the road in Athol do have a sense of humor.

Bill, Republic of Texas કહ્યું...

Pho Keene Great and coming soon!

Xmas કહ્યું...

Minneapolis and St. Paul have a Pho King and an iPho.

FYI, 'Pho' is pronounce 'Fuh' with a flat vowel not 'Foe', thus the rudeness of Pho Keene or Pho King is pretty evident.

Sofa King could not be reached for comment.

Churchy LaFemme: કહ્યું...

Jokes you can make if you're Chineese

Greg કહ્યું...

Near me there is a Pho King Doe. Not sure if the owners name is Buck

stevew કહ્યું...

Anyone up for a trip to Phuket? I hear it is lovely this time of year.

Churchy LaFemme: કહ્યું...

A Phuket junket?

Book it!

Lucien કહ્યું...

Cue the pho outrage.

Bill Peschel કહ્યું...

Thanks for reminding me. "Crazy Rich Asians" is out on DVD and I can order it from the library.

Saw it in the theater and loved it. My wife and I read the first book, and she blazed through #2 and #3. We especially loved how Kwan didn't get a shit about writing "rules." He drops in footnotes talking about his personal experiences and even addresses the audience directly. Throws in all kinds of racist shit, like that Chinese call Chinese-Americans "bananas" and that nearly everyone over there hates the Japanese. Tells a damn good story, too.

Big Mike કહ્યું...

Do people from my generation of draftees actually like Vietnamese cuisine? Brings back unhappy memories, and I (fortunately) stayed on this side of the Pacific.

Tank કહ્યું...

No worse than Fuki Sushi in River Edge.

Wince કહ્યું...

A clear case of pho-phobia!

(rehajm, That WBCN Billy West Athol clip was a blast from the past!)

My college intramural flag football team name : Fa-Q

My dad's ARMY flag foot ball team name : DILLIGAS
What does DILLIGAS mean? Do I look like I give a shit?

Keene Sense of humor indeed.

Two-eyed Jack કહ્યું...

There are a number of restaurants across this fair land with names that are variants on "What the Pho," but of these, my favorite is Wat Da Pho of Beavercreek, Ohio, because, well, who named that town?

Not *that* exit, honey!

Earnest Prole કહ્યું...

The restaurant is in Keane City Hall.

RobinGoodfellow કહ્યું...

Can’t wait for their T-shirts:

How can I

Pho Keene

help you?

Ingachuck'stoothlessARM કહ્યું...

Mo Pho!

Yancey Ward કહ્યું...

I love the name of the restaurant- it is creative and just a bit subtle, too. I had to look at it for about 30 seconds before I realized what it was doing- literally had to say it out loud before I got it.

rcocean કહ્યું...

Either say Fuck or don't.

Stop being tittering schoolgirls.

wildswan કહ્યું...

The Thai place in Keene has some of the best Thai food ever. I've been there with friends who lived in Thailand and they agree. And now this restaurant. So visit beautiful Keene, there's two things to do besides passing through.

BUMBLE BEE કહ્યું...

Big Mike... Fellow I worked with (marine), carried a good size chunk of shrapnel in his back wouldn't even look at you if you brought in Chinese carry out. Another fellow (green beret) loved Chinese, but didn't care much for Montagnard chow. Most of the vets went for the Thai food. They picked up the taste on R&R.

Kevin Walsh કહ્યું...

Brian Kilmeade has a syndie radio show, and he missed his chance by not calling it "Kilmeade Now"

I'm here all year.

Jeff કહ્યું...

There's a Fukien Gourmet restaurant in Fredericksburg, VA.

Oh Yea કહ્યું...

Beavercreek High School used to have a sign on the front of the building in large letters declaring "Home of the Battling Beavers". For some reason it was removed when they refurbished the building.

Josephbleau કહ્યું...

Beaver County PA had to become a dry County in order to prevent having a store named Beaver Liquors.

Qwinn કહ્યું...

It lasted longer than I thought it would, but the restaurant in Trenton, NJ named "Cluck U Chicken" finally changed its name.

Josephbleau કહ્યું...

Althouse no longer has a slider bar and is no longer friendly for reading,

JLScott કહ્યું...

So if the town council doesn’t share the WaPo commenter’s adolescent sense of humor, he’ll assume they don’t have any at all. Perhaps they can find some way to live with that.

Inquiry કહ્યું...

Amusingly, Keene is the town they filmed Jumanji in. This would be an interesting backdrop to the stampede scene.

Char Char Binks, Esq. કહ્યું...

My wife thinks Pho Keen Great is a restaurant in Maine!

Unknown કહ્યું...

In downtown Denver, we have What the Pho? Makes me smile.
