Morning Vista sounds a lot like Morning Fista. F and V are the produced by the same lingual- labio-dental arrangement (top teeth on bottom lip, tongue back in the mouth), but V is voiced and F is not. Morning Fista seems kind of self-explanatory and anti-corporate.
Jesus Christ and all the Latter-Day Saints, what would the Mormons do without hard-ons? Their whole business model is predicated on them. Their churches are marked with pointy spires instead of crucifixes. And what about the heavenward jut of the trumpet that the Angel Moroni's always tooting?! You can't tell me that's accidental.
Why blush over a two-word phrase that most people associate with a flower?
@6,7: And of course in Louisville, CO, the Storage Tek company is long since defunct, but it left behind the busy thoroughfare Storage Tek Drive, and its two minor cross streets (and in truth I kind of like these) Disc Drive and Tape Drive.
"Morning glory" as an "alternative meaning" is very old-fashioned. Those Utah guys must be older than dirt. Only old people get that one without having to look it up.
People like me.
Wow that company's PR team needs to be fired. They went from being able to look at people who snickered and say "it's a flower...what's wrong with you?" to having everyone in the world associate them with the perverted definition.
I'd never heard of the dirty meaning of "morning glory" either. But I have a suggestion for "morning vista":
One of my exes was quite horny in the mornings, whereas I'm a late and heavy sleeper. Since I sleep on my back, she would frequently hike down my pants, ride my "morning glory" until she came, then hop in the shower. Most of the time I wouldn't even wake up. But when I did, I was treated to the "morning vista" of my hot, naked girlfriend already fucking me.
So a "morning vista" is waking up to see your partner making use of your "morning glory."
I knew what a Morning Glory was, both erection and flower, but when I started to relate this story to my husband, he thought the company didn't like the band Oasis.
@25 - all I could think of was Oasis too. So I assumed the "other meaning" had to do with drugs. Then I tried googling it and only found the flower. So glad Slog is here to enlighten me. LOL
@6 Have you also taken the tour of their factory and stood inside the mint room?
This story reminds me of a road near my hometown that got its name changed, but not for corporate reasons. It used to be called Dead Indian Road, but now it's called Dead Indian Memorial Road. I just looked it up to find the answer to the question I've had ever since I saw the new name: Did they think adding the word "Memorial" somehow made it more politically correct? From http://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/entry/… "In the 1990s, Jackson County decided to change the name to Dead Indian Memorial Road, but controversy over the name continues to erupt." Gee, I can't imagine why.
Xactware itself does not appear in the urban dictionary--yet--so I visited their website, and learned they make estimating software for insurance. Team, how can we immortalize Xactware in the urban dictionary?
after my morning coffee I (and I'm sure this is not uncommon) have a very satisfying B.M. after which I (again not uncommon) HAVE to look at it before flushing.
"How about Morning Vista, sir? That doesn't sound like pitching a tent at all."
"I CONCUR!"
Sigh..I live inside a stupid, stupid, bubble.
That said, corporations do that stuff all the time. In one Denver suburb, there is an actually street named "Lucent Blvd."

The address for Celestial Seasoning tea's HQ in Boulder is 4600 Sleepytime Drive.
Also, I meant to write the word "actual," not "actually" in my comment. Whoops.

Morning Vista sounds like awaking to realize your "date" isn't exactly what you thought they were.
People like me.
Mourning Glory is when you have nobody to share it with...lol.
After having unprotected sex, when you try to take a piss, but it goes everywhere and you have to clean the bathroom.
