My Best Product Name Ever

I was walking back from the Warehouse Grill with Scott Murff when he mentioned the voice-over-IP company Vonage. He used the French pronunciation, “voh-nahzh” instead of the English “vonidge”.

“Dude,” I said. “Vonage a trois!

“Whoa.”

“We could even get ‘Lawrence’ from Office Space

to be the spokesman.  ‘What would I do with internet telephony?

Tell you what I’d do, man…phone two chicks at the same time, man.'”
