So long to the good guys...
« on: February 14, 2008, 11:52:15 am »
I know I bitch about this every year, but is "Are You Ready?" the slogan for 2008?

Did they pay someone to come up with that?  Or is Pam the marketing department now?

I'd be happier if they'd go to China Garden, and just use whatever was in their fortune cookies.

You find beauty in ordinary things.
Make two grins grow where there was only a grouch before.
He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.
If your desires are not extravagant they will be granted.
It doesn't matter. Who is without a flaw?

This one's taped to my computer screen:

'Be content with your lot.  One cannot be first in everything.'
How can you ask me a question like that?  Do you ask The Beatles that??

That would look fantastic in an Advertisement.

First thing that comes to mind for me is, "wait, I need to change my shoes."   Looks like they took dictation and used the first part of Mclane's persistent koan, "Are you ready to be a champion?"  "Wait a minute, I need to change my shoes."

There is yet time enough for you to take a different path.

Go to the bathroom now, because we're not stopping until we get there.

And that's just off the top of my head.  And I haven't been drinking.

My old air cadet squadron motto was "Always in the shit, only the depth varies"

We sanitised it for official merchandise (t-shirts etc.) by taking just the second part, changing "depth" to "level" and translating it into Latin.  IIRC:  "Altitudo solum varia est"

Separately, we translated the whole of the motto into Latin for unofficial merchandise.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
