    Yeah, word mergers for this purpose are a big no-no. Whoever's idea this was should be examined by a doctor.

    to me it seems like ALANCO is the brand name and they've mashed it up with "online". I wish CalGuy would have been a little more specific, I may be totally off base.

    1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
    www.whorepresents.com

    2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
    www.expertsexchange.com

    3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
    www.penisland.net

    4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
    www.therapistfinder.com

    5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
    www.powergenitalia.com

    6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
    www.molestationnursery.com

    7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
    www.ipanywhere.com

    8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
    www.cummingfirst.com

    9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
    www.speedofart.com

    10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
    www.gotahoe.com

    I'm guessing it has something to do with the word 'con'.

    Anyone read the blog about how to make money by Gary Conn? Still make me chuckle.

    the problem si that the company is called ALENCO online and they have merged the two o's into one. There lies the confusion. Wrong name and wrong choice of website. kansas-alenco.com or alenco-windows would be better

    Who doesn't want power genitalia? I think I've seen late night informercials about that. :)
