What'S Fatty Pontoon?
The super micro-agency origin story.
Fatty Lumpkin, a surf ranch, is one of my most extravagant business ideas, which I expect never come to pass. The ranch is named after one of Tom Bombadil's ponies in The Lord of the Rings. Yet Fatty Lumpkin remains copyrighted until 2087 along with other Tolkien's works.
When I needed a good name for my marketing endeavors along with the right to use it, I just took what I could with me, namely 'Fatty'. At the time, I listened to a lot of country songs featuring: blue jeans, trucks and pontoons. I'm also a big fan of Zodiacs - inflatable pontoons - which gave us tow-in surfing, and so Fatty Pontoon was born.
My affinity with otters dates back to the Eighties, and the long running Canadian TV series - Danger Bay - which features a domesticated otter. Otters are my favorite animals to visit at the zoo. Meerkats come a close second.
