META: Help me come up with a catch-phrase, please.
« on: January 15, 2014, 01:18:44 pm »
So, I take very seriously all the feedback I get about my forum career and I certainly appreciate the litany of Private Messages you all send me telling me I'm "saving our community," and so forth. But occasionally, people point out ways I can improve everyone's forum experience even moreso. One thing people have pointed out is I seem to lack some sort of catch-phrase or stereotypic idiosyncrasy that people can look forward to me saying semi-regularly and that I could say on the iphone if they were to meet me. Vansmack has his pink taco, walkie has his cat photos, and Rhett can always call someone a porky midget or give a thorough review of an event he did not attend. But I have nothing to fall back on.

I've been kicking this around for a while and I really can't come up with one that seems perfect. I sort of like the line from Oliver Stone's JFK where Costner goes "we are through the looking glass here, people!" and I could see saying that in response to others' clear stupidity. I can always fall back on "Happy Day, bitch!," but I think sweets technically was the first person to say it.I've also been kicking around "the Ladies at the yacht club shall hear of this!" Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm a big believer in the power of crowdsourcing.

couldn't you just end every post with "... but then again, i'm better than you." and leave it at that?

It doesn't really roll off the tongue. And I would really only want to pull it out a few times a month. Going for a "special occasion" catchphrase, not a ten times a day one. I'd assume someone would start a thread chronicling all the times I use it. Do you want to be in charge of that?

I'd probably go with a distinct spelling like "Burberry'd!!" to make it funnier, but that's legitimately a great suggestion. Thanks for the thought you put into it.

"You don't know about me, but I bet you want to." ?? I could see me saying this.

If you are so smart, why aren't you a Weblegrity?

No, that just didn't feel organic.
