Am I the only one that would pronounce this as "ass plunder" in a Boston accent?

Ass-plundah.

I'm a grown man. Promise.

I see those all the time up here. Must be an old family name or something. I often wonder how things become named, and if they ever regret it.

I'm sure there's someone somewhere really fucking proud of having that name on the sides of a lot of trucks chopping up trees.

Yeah, everytime I see that I can't get it out of my head for 3 days as my brain kicks around pronunciations. Thanks. :)

They used to have their own factory that made all their own equipment in-house in Bucks County, PA. A lot of my dad's neighbors worked there in the '70s and '80s, until they closed up and moved south after several years of labor relations problems.

Carl Hjalmar Asplundh founded it.


I see them down here in Australia too.

Oh, and the name Asplundh refers to "grove of aspen trees" in Swedish

Oh, I though Asplundh was just a northern New England thing.
