HEY! Let me start this post out with a resounding iCheer for Phillip Johnson and his lovely Rocko and Flash drawing which he submitted into the WilmingSloan drawing contest. What a winner!
While we're on a related topic it seems a good point for me to bring up something special I'm planning for summer release. As some of you may know, I've been dabbing into the film arts quite a bit in the past 8 or so months. That is why I've decided that over the spring semester I'm going to work on putting together a little "Year One" DVD of my work. There you'll find the explanation for "Rocko and Flash" along with such greats as T.P. All in all I'm hoping for around 8-10 shorts and some killer bonus features. Keep your eyes open.
Now on a completely unrelated topic, it's that part of the post where I break seemingly complex tasks down and make them simple and enjoyable for everyone. Today's problem?
"How Do I Name my Chinese Restaurant?"
First thing is first...naming a Chinese restaurant is a three part process.
The first part is choosing between two words which is simple enough. Pick either "Taste (of)" or "Golden." For the purpose of this demonstration I'm going to select Golden
GOLDEN
Now you pick one of the nouns of chinese power. There are endless lists of these words but some of the more popular include:
panda
dragon
tree
lotus
You get the point.
I'm fond of Pandas (you may have noticed from past posts)
GOLDEN PANDA
Finally you have to pick a structure or part of a structure. Depending on what type of Chinese restaurant it is you may consider just adding in "Buffet" but I'm going to go with the former.
Selections can include:
roof
wall
palace
temple
but of course there's the old standby, "House." That'll do just fine for me.
GOLDEN PANDA HOUSE
There...now wasn't that simple? It sounds so delicious I wish it existed right now so I could hit up the spring rolls. Mmmm Mmmm
Be sure to post comments with your Chinese restaurant titles using my method so the world can see how easy and effective it is.
One time this guy totally face planted in the comments and now there is this really freaky tree out there.

Well, since i work at a chinese restaurant, i put a lot of thought into this and the name is, "Golden Bamboo Forest", that was fun!!! Krystal
I would go for some Golden Lotus Temple... but I don't like Chinese that much anymore. Japanese is the best... and California Rolls are the bomb diggity... Later Hommes!
