WWW: Bumper Snickers and T-Shirt Slogans
>> Wednesday, April 29, 2009
So, since I'm off in the wild blue yonder this week, I'm going to keep it sort of brief when it comes to writing exercises. This doesn't have anything to do with being published, just about having fun with words and, one of my favorite things, humor. That and I need to lighten up from the last couple of days.
Now, who hasn't seen funny slogans on t-shirts and bumper stickers? Things that make you think or, more often, make you chuckle if not guffaw.
So, your assignment, if you should choose to accept it, is to think up some bumper stickers or t-shirt slogans that suit you or someone in your family. The more perfectly they fit your chosen subject the better. Here are some that come to mind for me:
Don't piss me off. I write novels and I'm always looking for names.
Caution: Able to insult you so you don't even know it happened.
Dieting: Snarkiness will get you deep fried and eaten.
For my husband:
Sure I'm short, but not all men waste their inches on height.For my teenage daughter:
I may not look like a dragon but I have the same sexual appetite.
It doesn't matter if you're high maintenance as long as you're worth it.
I'd tell you you just don't understand, but you wouldn't understand.For my son:
It's not that I want money, it's that I want stuff that costs money - and don't want you to have to buy it for me.
Like you were ever a teenager!
Did you think you were in charge?And, for my baby girl:
Beelzeboy
Blue eyes? Check
Dimples? Check
Cuddler? In excellent shape.
Good, now to show Mom what I broke this time.
Don't pinch my cheek. I can overflow a diaper at will.
Reaching cuteness critical mass. Bring me mud, stat! (Not that it will help - I just like it)
Enslavement alert: Do not look directly at baby.
Now, you try.
Yours are hilarious - well done.
Oh my. Such possibilities. A mundane but accurate one for me would be "Grammar Geek."
A more appropriate one would be something like, "Do not Awaken Berserker."
Or of course, given my ample endowment: "My BRAINS are up there."
For me -
"Caution: I take pictures and you're in my viewfinder."
"I see all, and if you don't pay me, so will the National Enquirer."
For my friend Virginia (Newport's one and only Queen of Snark)-
"I'm sorry! Were you speaking, or is there an annoying mosquito in here?"
Cats is dumb!
Will snuggle for foods.
I won't hurts your chinchilla, honest!
Oh! Can I change mine answer?
I just seed this cool dog picture that says Will Blog For SquirrelsScrooge will blog for chinchillas!
For my hubby: Excuse me? Did you say something?
For myself:
Let the Sun Shine In
or
You Just Don't Get Me, Do You?
or just
BABE
My daughter: Beware: Able to Shatter Glass when Screaming.
My son could wear his father's shirt (perhaps a companion to his dad's, something like "I didn't Hear You Either" or "What?"
"Don't piss me off. I write novels and I'm always looking for names."
I love that. A friend of mine is published and she has told me she does that. She told me, "any ex-boyfriends that pissed you off? Just right them in with a really small penis."
Cracks me up.

For me: "Don't piss me off. I analyze voices and you sound like an axe murderer!"
For my hubby: "Don't piss me off. I'm a Republican and I hate everyone these days!"
See, I knew you all could do it.
