I am a weenie.

I could (and sometimes do) submit slogans every day, but most of them would be awful. I see one bomb and I compulsively have to delete it. So I'm going to try and skew an extra little piece of effort from quantity to quality for this, my weenified attempt to join martian's challenge:

52 new, permanent slogans by the end of the year, all with scores I consider high enough to fight off erasure. The ones that at least make it through the first 25 votes will end up in this blog. Some weeks may have more hopefuls than others, and some slogans may have an unfortunately delayed demise and get crossed off the blog list.

Can I do it? Probably not; I'm pretty lazy and get discouraged easily.
Do you care? Probably not; you're most likely being distracted by the latest fine episode of Chuck.

Still, let's get started. Help out with the voting wherever you feel morally obligated to do so!

courtney: I had another opportunity slogan in Week 1. We've been secretly duelling ever since.

So, I reached 52 slogans in only 8 weeks! That's what I get for having no life and submitting way too many. Thanks for all the votes and comments, you guys. I couldn't have done it without the support. Support I intend to reciprocate again this weekend.

But it's not like I'm gonna stop now! (Though I might take a small break.) I'm just glad I made my goal.

Frickin: That means a lot to me. And it's neat to see how far you've come, too, because I remember when you first started out. In truth, all your effort and enthusiasm is partially what motivated me to give sloganing a fresh crack.

Steve: If you can come up with another opportunity knocking slogan, don't let me get in your way. I think like half of the 365 people have a bunch of them now. Besides, I've honestly been waiting in anticipation for your mind to click and for you to blast out some more keepers...like golden turds.

All about me

Thanks, Jess, for this awesome fake type tee.

Addy: lawrencep99 at gmail
MSN: same thing at hotmail

I live in Vancouver.
I have an affinity for ducks and thunderstorms.
I am the world's largest biological repository of TV and movie references.
I am probably lazier than you.

If you give me STPs and want me to know, tell me in one of my blogs or some place I'll see it. I'm tired of making blogs trying to find out who was nice enough to throw the latest set my way, especially since most of them fail. For those of you who have never told (or will never tell) me, I do still thank you. You all get a coupon for one free oversized anonymous hug.

Received STPs freely from (woo!):
-lemonalle
-outline
-SheriB626
-AWorldApart (x2!)
-whisper in water
-Nodus
-nintechno
-a whole bunch of mystery people who are as awesome as they are annoyingly anonymous

I'll pay you back one day, bolded people (unless there are no bolded people left in that list, and then I went ahead and transcended time). In the meantime, just wait patiently and be all boldy n' shit.

Temporary update: I have currently paid everyone back! Woo!

To get STPs:
-be really awesome
or
-be a generous benefactor and use this link, and I will inevitably force myself to reciprocate through the Kindess Act of 1869
