I have to write things down here or I'll forget them.

Whoops Marketing, or “Watch Your Acronyms”

Seattle just got a Trolley.  Excellent news.  The Trolley will run down South Lake Union. And so imagine the guy painting the acronym on the side of car.  Bay Area Rapid Transit = "Bart";  South Lake Union Trolley =

Uh oh.  "Uh boss, can I ask you a quick question?"

So now we have a street car instead.  SLUSC.  Not really much better….. If it was shortened to Lake Union Street Car (LUSC), you could pronounce it "Lucy." Any other ideas?

    Maybe SLUSC could be pronounced ‘slushie’. You’d have the BART in SF, and the the Slushie in Seattle. Nice. The Simpsons culture is taking over.
