<p><a href="http://valdodge.com/2007/05/21/best-worst-new-business-name/">F&#8217;Coffee</a> and <a href="http://valdodge.com/2008/05/07/best-worst-old-business-name/">Rear Ends</a> won the honours for Dodgeville&#8217;s best (&amp; worst) business name in 2007 and 2008 respectively, and it&#8217;s about time I bestowed the honour for 2009. The clear winner this time around is FOC!, with its even more  wonderful domain name, <a href="http://focit.ca/">focit.ca</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a slang word. When a man and a woman are in love, the man puts his&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No, no. Here: &#8216;F. O. C.&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course, Rigby Reardon, with some timely assistance from Philip Marlowe, eventually discovered that it stood for Friends of Carlotta. If you don&#8217;t know the rest of the story, you owe it to yourself to rent <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083798/">Dead Men Don&#8217;t Wear Plaid</a> some day. I assume that these Leaside FOCkers are fans.</p>
