New Marketing Slogan

[Emo Oranges]

So I'm sitting here waiting on the 2008 Astros marketing slogan, which I'm sure is going to be genius as always, and I began to wonder what might make a good slogan for this team?  (I'm sure if Footer can use Backe's name as a pun she will)

How about...

"From Killer B's To Killer B-12"

Yes...I really am an Astros fan...not a flaming at all, just having a little fun.

read more, post less, clarkie

first post on the same day you register is never a good sign

[Emo Oranges]

*yawn*

You know what I never understand?  The elitist mentality that some message board posters have.  Take yourself a little less seriously.  Makes life more fun!

You were approximately 104 days, 23 hours, 16 minutes and 26 seconds late with that joke.

Perhaps if you took Jim's advice instead of dispensing your own, you would understand.

If you did read more and post less, you'd see that this joke was made months ago.

But, yeah, way to go kiddo. You are so clever.

ETA: I see your *yawn* and raise you one more.

[HudsonHawk]

Now wait a minute! Okay, this guy is a real zero. That's true. Think back to when you were clarks. Lefty, you had a face like a pepperoni pizza, right? And Ty here. Everybody thought that Ty was brain damaged. I myself was so obnoxious the popes beat me up once a week. So this guy is a total loser? Let me tell you the story of another loser...

[Gizzmonic]

Maybe this thread should be merged with Mr. Happy's thread from a few days ago?

Anyway, welcome board ColdCock.  Your jokes are cold, and you seem like kind of a cock, so...good job on the name!

Hey, a little reseach and you'd see that there's a thread already about that.

How many times are you all going to tell the newbie that there is a thread about marketing slogans?

Everyone's got to get their digs in.  Nothing brings us together like piling on an interloper.

impossible to tell at this early stage. are you keeping a tally?

[Jacksonian]

I kinda like it when these guys come out.  Gives me an excuse to go look at the 2006 HOF with strosrays brilliant troll description.

There are at least 4 people that posted the link.  Shouldn't someone tell all the additional posters that Cabrera is a Brave?

[Noe bows head in agreement with HH, thems were the dark days indeed for Noe]

Once a week?  You were lucky.  My first post was three sentences and even then the first thing I was told was to stop posting such long winded crap!

I got Cabrera'd on my Cabrera.

I can add it to my, now, very long list of questions to ponder once I decide to be a monk and ponder such things. 

[Jacksonian]

Noe, should this be a question?

FIFY

I still remember after 10 years being told "Hey Noe, James Mitchner called... he wants his dictionary back!".  The pile on was brutal for the next three days.

I guess it is like the fart joke that apparently never gets old.

We were driving through Knoxville a few weeks ago and sitting at a stop light I spotted a bumper sticker affixed to a traffic sign.  I tried to keep my 8 year old from seeing but alas he blurts, " Hey look at that, it says "Farts are funny"".  He hasn't stopped reminding us.

Very encouraging place here... 

Listen...forgive me for not reading this site since it's inception...I heard something, thought it was funny, figured I'd share with fellow Astros fans.

I wasn't going to "introduce" myself with my first post, those are simply boring. 

FYI...I don't care if you guys "pile on" go for it...I've learned enough about life to realize that you can't take anything too seriously or else it'll kill you.

Maybe one day you'll be able to enjoy a laugh or a smile.  We're four days away from Opening Day...maybe that'll make some of you happier.

Go Astros!

We not talking history we are talking two days ago.  It is obvious based on the number of people piling on you that many of us have figured out how to survive the early days here.  The best way is by reading more and posting less.

Jebus, dude. Your thread actually turned into something you could work with and you fuck it all up with this emo horseshit. I think someone other than who you think is taking themselves too seriously.

Good to see you here...the other board was absolutely dead...figured I'd come here for more discussion.  Seems like I got it

Just some friendly advice...I'd encourage you to take *yourself* a little less seriously.  Laugh at yourself, laugh at us and you'll experience here will be a lot more enjoyable.  This is a rough and tumble world, not for the weak of mind or spirit, but tough it out and you'll have the time of your life.  One of the common mistakes newbies make with their first offerings is posting as if it's everyone else's first day here as well, or they just started following baseball or the Astros last week.  That's why we encourage people to read or follow the action for a time before they jump in.  Not because we discourage newcomers, but because it'll help them avoid this common pitfall and the post-dramatic jolt to their ego that accompanies it.  And one final note...this is the LEAST serious group of people I've ever met.  Stick around and you'll see for yourself.

I think this a good place to remind people the board is operating under a Foghorn Declaration of War:

Also, smilies give me epileptic seizures....please refrain.  If you have to use an emoticon to convey your subtext, then contemplate refraining from submitting the post or take a writer's workshop class.

Of course it is.  What else would it be a reference to?

If you have to preemptively explain your handle, that is probably not a good sign, either.

Honest to God, ColdCock, if you change your handle to Emo Oranges, then you and I will be square. I will even ignore the smilies. For real.
