Could use your help.

So it's become pretty obvious to me that you can't have much success on this site without feedback (me = stupid until something is proven obvious most of the time). I've only delved into the slogan part of the site for now, but it's hard to see where your idea stands as the slogans filter out so quickly.

Anyway, I could use your help. If you have the time, it would be nice if I could get a few votes on my slogans. I don't care if you like them or hate them, I'd just like to know where they stand, and filter out the junk when possible.

Thanks much.

you have some good ones in there, keep it up! when you get a chance, feel free to vote on my slogans. i voted on a couple, and my favorite is I'm only visible when people look at me.

Simpletinrobot on Dec 22 '08 at 11:40am

You have a good batch in there, I like Caution: I randomly tackle strangers.

MoniqueH on Dec 22 '08 at 11:44am

All mine suck, but yours don't. Yay!

ISABOA on Dec 22 '08 at 11:54am

Hey JOSH

I bet can imagine you miss Alaska going to wisconsin
at least you can enjoy the Cheese

where you from in AK?

ISABOA on Dec 22 '08 at 11:58am

I bet can imagine I am good at typing!

PuppetMeat on Dec 22 '08 at 11:59am

Thanks for the comments and votes!

Cheese is nice, but there isn't a whole lot of variety unless you can spend a lot of money. It's mostly just Cheddar.

I'm from Ketchikan, a southern island along the panhandle. If you remember the 'bridge to nowhere' stories, Ketchikan was going to get one side of the bridge, so that's it's claim to fame. Best part was that it wasn't cold, stayed 60-ish all year round.

ISABOA on Dec 22 '08 at 12:00pm

Yeah Ketchikan is a nice place.

I am a Mat-Su Valley guy.

PuppetMeat on Dec 22 '08 at 12:03pm

Cool. Sounds like a nice area. I'd like to go up that way someday. The only downside to AK is that there is too much to see.

I especially liked Computer Tan & Quadrilateral Parallelogram
Keep it up!
I also love your taste in music :)

A small unrelated message: your guess on my guess-the-score game is a duplicate, so you might wanna change it, thanks, and sorry for the misuse of this blog..

igo2cairo on Feb 09 '09 at 11:10pm

You definitely have some sloganeering skillz! I especially liked the last 3 posts, very clever.

SheepMan22 on Feb 09 '09 at 11:12pm

the tackling randon strangers one is great

PuppetMeat on Feb 09 '09 at 11:18pm

Thank you, very much. :)

rbthatcher on Feb 10 '09 at 12:15am

"Talent" is my favorite! I also voted up "Apathetic", even though similar ideas have been subbed already, and I really didn't want to like it, it was just so perfect. :)

GoodKarmaKid on Feb 28 '09 at 12:42pm

I like the one about doing what strangers tell you to do! Can you look overmine too?

toopersent on Feb 28 '09 at 12:46pm

I will def. check out all your slogans when I get in front of a computer my man.

brentendo on Feb 28 '09 at 1:03pm

likin some of your slogans too, quadrilateral parallelogram has an amazing percentage atm!

SuperRyan on Feb 28 '09 at 1:13pm

I voted I'd Wear it on all your slogans, Josh. Almost all of them have super-excellent scores. I agree with brentendo, 80% on Paraellogram is amazing. Really good stuff!

Take a look at my slogans if you can.

PuppetMeat on Feb 28 '09 at 7:16pm

Thanks brentendo! Voted on several more of yours.

Thanks Ryan! Yeah, that one is doing very well. Probably my best shot at a print.

Also, voted on yours, Ryan!

I love your slogans! "I Like To Think Outside The Quadrilateral Parallelogram" is my favorite- so witty. Pretty high score too... I would totally buy it if it printed.

Please vote on mine?

Thanks guys! :D

staffell on Apr 11 '09 at 6:43am

well done! how does it feel?

PuppetMeat on Apr 11 '09 at 6:49am

Thank you! Feels great. Makes me want another one, though. :P

You, RB, and Ryan will all know soon. Then we'll all be hooked and can start a 'sloganists anonymous' therapy group. Donuts provided, of course.

I'm glad you have this blog; I just started one like this myself.

"Halloween: A Happy Occasion For Both Children And Dentists Alike."

I like the idea, but it feels a little clunky. What about something like "Halloween: Favorite Holiday of Both Children and Dentists." or "Children and Dentists Agree: Halloween Rocks/Is the Best!"

PuppetMeat on May 03 '09 at 9:19am

Thanks for stopping by one of my eldest blogs. :)

I agree. It's not a very well executed slogan, lol. I wasn't planning on keeping it, though. It's for the current slogan tournament, so I just kinda threw it out there to see what happens.

Your rewordings make a lot more sense than my submission. If you would like to sub one of them, feel free to do so.

HaloGirl on May 03 '09 at 1:10pm

Thanks for giving me the OK to sub. What do you think of this version instead: "Children and Dentists Agree: Halloween is Sweet!"

staffell on May 03 '09 at 1:17pm

hey halogirl - it's a great slogan, but imo, the X and Y agree slogan has been done to past death now, so if you want to maximise your printing potential, i'd try a different iteration.

that's just me though

HaloGirl on May 03 '09 at 1:33pm

Are any of these better?
"Dentists give out the best candy at Halloween"
"Dentists secretly love Halloween"
"Have you ever wondered if dentists secretly love Halloween?"
"Who loves Halloween more? Children or dentists?"

(Sorry to hijack your blog, PM... just building off your idea.)

PuppetMeat on May 03 '09 at 2:39pm

"Children and Dentists Agree: Halloween is Sweet!"

That's the best version, imo. I'm not sure how it could be made better. I'm not really good at thinking of slogans like that. Once they're outside my head, I can't work them any more. :P

Don't worry about the use of the blog. This was meant for discussion anyway, so I'm glad it's doing it's job.

Brightwood on May 03 '09 at 2:48pm

Mr. Puppetmeat. I've never been printed for a design or slogan. So my preferences may be like sand in the wind...useless...

My favorite slogan of yours is...

If Your Pants Are On Fire, Being A Liar Becomes Less Important

my least favorite is...

Live Dangerously. Walk Backwards.

The only observation I see in the difference is clever Vs. quick and based on individual experience and taste. Not that I am a crusader for walking backwards. But...who cares? The first one is a great clever play on an old saying.

PuppetMeat on May 03 '09 at 4:10pm

Firstly, thanks for stopping by. Second, your preferences aren't useless, they're what will get you printed sooner or later.

I understand what you're saying. Slogans that play off of an old saying or line are often better received, and rightly so (if it's actually clever), but that doesn't mean the quick or shorter slogans don't have their place.

I think the joke (in Walk Backwards) lays in that you can be in just as much danger walking backwards as anything else. Fitting in well with all the extreme and adrenaline sports that abound.

If you don't like it, that's cool, it's not my favorite, either, lol. People have their favorites and least favorites. Thanks for giving me both of yours. :)

You can be Clever and Quick at the same time, too. The slogan I've had printed was just something I typed in after Math class cause I thought it was funny, and it worked out alright. :P
