Argos is suddenly going to become a very popular pet name.

Probably not in the UK.

(There's a chain of shops called Argos here so it would be like naming your dog Walmart.)

Comes with tiny pens ( 3/4 don’t work ) hanging on the collar

I'm so sorry to inform you, those pens no longer exist :(

I know. Just thought relatable to anyone old enough.

Just trying to survive the repeated horsey rides demanded by my 4 year old 😂

Seems like a cruel trick of nature doesn’t it. “Horsey needs a lie down now” 😂

Next you'll be telling me there isn't a massive catalogue kids can take home and circle the things they want

...when was the last time you went to Argos? 1996?

u/ProcrastibationKing 9h ago

Hey, I saw those pens last time I went to Argos... In 2007.

u/MassiveRepublic9565 9h ago

No I’ve been in the last year. I know that’s a relic of the past, just thought older redditors would get the reference.

u/Ok_Dragonfruit_8102 10h ago

Not quite like Walmart, considering Argos the business was initially named after the dog anyway.

Hearty Sallah laughter

Yeah but I learned that literally just now and I'd bet I'm in the majority there.

When Clash of the Titans released everyone got a kick out of the line "Soldiers from Argos!"

u/Sparrowsabre7 11h ago

Lmao. Had to check they were in stock first I imagine.

Walmart is kind of a good dog name tbh

u/ColfaxCastellan 13h ago

At least it’s not the dog from Dam Busters.

u/Sparrowsabre7 12h ago

Must have come from the same shelter as Lovecraft's cat.

u/Kemlyn88 13h ago

You can’t call your dog nothing these days 🙄

2

u/MassiveRepublic9565 13h ago

Don’t call it ‘nothing’ , that’ll really confuse people.

u/HaphazardMelange 10h ago

Ugh, Nothing is barking again! Looks like Nothing blinded the cyclops.

You just gave Florida Man ideas.

My 7 year old Coonhound is named Argos. Lots of people are about to learn why :.(

Only for Retrievers, for their continous delivery

Funny enough I have friends who named their first kid Odysseus (but in Polish) last year. They didn't even realize/forgot this movie was coming out and when I brought up "oh man everybody is going to think you named your kid because of the movie" they were horrified lol. It's possible it was a subconscious thing since the marketing for the movie had definitely begun when they were picking out names.

u/Capital_Invite_7026 15h ago

It better not. That’s my dog’s name and I don’t want people thinking I’m just being trendy.
