Win Fame & Prizes in the 1st Annual MetroDad Tagline Contest!

.
Lately, I've been noticing the tag lines on a few of my favorite blogs and laughing my ass off.  For some reason, it's only now that I'm realizing how funny and clever some of them are.  Here are a few of my favorites:

"Neither representing nor keeping it real" - Dooce

"You don't know what it is, but you know you like it." - Finslippy

"Proof my children will be using their college funds for therapy." - Cynical Dad

"25% of human genes are the same as a banana.  Get over yourself!" - Banana

"I affirm your worth!  Seacrest out!" - Suburban Bliss

"I just LOOK like I'm wearing my pajamas." - Sweatpants Mom

"Where sacred cows are slaughtered and served medium rare." - Alex Blagg

Needless to say, I think I need a new catchphrase for the MetroDad site.  Somehow, the tagline "I Rant, Therefore I Am" isn't doing it for me anymore.  However, after trying to come up with some new taglines, I'm realizing that I'm absolutely terrible at this.  After thinking so hard that I got a brain freeze, the only ideas I had were...

MetroDad: "Finally, a website we can let the servants read!"

MetroDad:  "No batteries included and no strings attached."

MetroDad: "Not as good as it used to be."

Pretty fucking lame, eh?  I really can't come up with anything.  Maybe I'm overthinking the whole issue.  Anyway, instead of giving myself an aneurysm, I decided to do what I always do when I need some honest advice...

I turn to the internet.

I'm always boasting to my friends that my readers are the smartest, funniest and wittiest people out there.  Whereas most of society believes me to be a pompous ass, you guys "get" me.  Therefore, who better to come up with a tagline for the site than you guys? 

But I'm throwing out a twist here and offering a prize for the most creative tagline.  Winner (as determined by myself, the BossLady and the Sweepstakes Division of Price Waterhouse) will be the lucky recipient of a brand-new portable Insignia DVD Player.  (Yes, this is the same DVD player that I wrote about a little while ago.)  It's a very cool product that would be great for long summer drives in the car, airplane trips to see the grandparents, hanging out in the backyard, or watching porn in the bedroom. 

So, enter to get yours now!  No purchase necessary!  Enter as often as you like!

I know a lot of you readers are in advertising (Mom-101, Bacon Grease, Virgo, Concha et al.) so you may have a slight advantage here.  However, I only need one good tagline so I'm hoping that someone can come up with something clever that epitomizes the essence of this site. 

Ready, set, go!

(UPDATE, July 5:  Congrats to SpikeyMikeP who wins with "Poppycock from a Cocky Pop."  These were some great entries and I think I'll start alternating them on a semi-regular basis.  Thanks for playing, everyone!)

About the best I can come up with is (it may need to be re-written to make the baseball vendor-voice more obvious):
"Getcher Peeeeeeeeeeaanutsss!"

BTW, shouldn't "Bad grammar makes me [sic]" instead be written with an error like "Bad grammer makes me [sic]" (i.e., make the [sic] part meaningful)?

And I thought candace's original reference to "Secret Asian Man" was about the DaVinci's Notebook song (which is hilarious)!

I know this is too late but I care not:

That image is great, but in my opinnion, the text is seohmow blurry. The stroke of it.But yes, I agree. We need a cool tagline for it. Something like you had there. Unequivocally, the largest and fastest growing community of Xat.com Bloggers! Sounds great-Alex

[Selli]

Well, the re-design of your blog totally sisrpured me, Barry. I'm sorry you had to get rid of so much content, but your goal is certainly more important than some written pages.People may criticize, but in the end, the doing is still in your hands. This is your blog after all.Hey I like the new tagline! It's going to bring more newbie bloggers to your site, I'm sure of that.Take care.~ Luana S.

Just wanted to mtnoien the the US Dollar is the most popular currency in Russia. Like in Romania people have prices for real estate or cars in euros, in Russia they have them in Dollars.That's why they probably chose to centralize data in dollars

Hey Nick I'm using this along with the I Made It! Market communications.Support Local, Celebrate Handmade and Meet the Makers on April 10.I can cgnahe the date based on events and I'm going to be working harder to communicate the impact shoppers can have by really connecting directly with makers. So many really meaningful connections can be made when makers are able to have a conversation with customers directly. I know I have had my holiday lists thought out ahead of time based on what custom orders I know specific friends/family members would want based on makers' ability to work with my needs. This type of gift is always appreciated and so easy to accomplish after a relationship has been established.I think a very unique aspect of this movement is the ability to connect with a maker and that should be a part of branding!

- Naves extraterrestres: Es piobsle, pero poco problable, la tecnologia de una supuesta raza tan avanzada como para venir hasta aqui, debe de ser tan avanzada que nuestros medios tecnicos convencionales no serian capaces de poder detectarlos y supuestamente tendrian la capacidad de invisibilidad en todo el espectro, en ese caso, pasarian completamente inadvertidos, no serian detectados, hay entra otro dilema y es que la vida es muy amplia y no necesariamente tiene que estar basada en el carbono, por lo que podrian estar perfectamente entre nosotros y no seriamos capaces de darnos cuenta de nada, es piobsle? hmmm como he dicho antes, es piobsle. todo es piobsle. Y si son realmente extraterrestres que estan mas cerca de nosotros de lo que nosotros creemos? implicarian otras cosas, como por ejemplo el nivel tan bajo que tiene el armamento convencional en comparacion con esas supuestas visitas.

[Dietmar]

No no, that is completely fair faeebdck. I did admittedly feel something similar to that myself; that the paint splatter was a bit energetic for the tagline xD; I don't have time to change the logo (and I do like it ) but I'll try changing the tagline. I'm not sure what else to put though. I'll see if I can find some friends to run other ideas by, otherwise I'll have to just run with it as it is if I'm meant to be printing this out on Tuesday and change it for my own purposes later :'D

Diggin it, no doubt that the coach puts in a lot of hours and does many different tasks, but so do tecrehas, especially high-school academics tecrehas who carry large student loads as well as extra-curricular sponsorships, security duties, committee participations and many other duties. When people refer to overpaid coaches, they are likely talking in terms of scale. Is the coach really worth more than double that of an experienced, advanced-degreed master teacher? And in a district that regularly tells its constituents it can only afford all of its tecrehas if it raises a million a year in donations, is it reasonable to pay the coach six figures? This is not to say that I dont congratulate the entire coaching staff for their achievements in working with our kids. I do. But our tecrehas are the educators, and they deserve equal accolades, and in my opinion, equal pay.

being an independent and a liearbl and a 60s poor hippie from an under privilaged family AND not ashamed to admit it, I do not see a difference between the two parties, they are both out for themselves, they are not for the American people, their agendas are the same, no matter what guise they put them under. This new government that was just elected in my opinion is socialist democrat, is that what you call liearbl? Would you call Hitler a liearbl? he was a socialist democrat in fact nazi stood for national socialist democratic party.This new administration is so far to the right it has me terrifiedSo I have to admit, I no longer know what a conservative or a liearbl is, there is nothing liearbl about this government we now have.
