the one about the slogan
monday, february 12, 2001

hi guys, i know what you are thinking.
“hey, it’s not tuesday! why is she sending the weekly today?”
“oh man, she messed up my week! now i’m gonna think that it’s wednesday when it’s really tuesday! just great!”

yeah, because the weekly is all about *you*.

sorry, but i have more important things to do tomorrow. (i’m madly in love with this fella and i think i’ll take him out to dinner tomorrow night seeing as how i won’t get to see him on valentine’s day.) and i didn’t have anything important to do today so, BAM. weekly.

so here are the slogans/mottos/credos that i received from some of you guys. many of you did not send me a slogan. shame on you. but for the ones who did send something, well, you guys get thirty (30) cool points. unfortunately you cannot redeem your cool points at any restaurant, supermarket, superstore, superduper, or superman. sorry.

my aunt jackie suggested “ASPARAGUS” as the motto.
it’s short and to the point. it’s recognizable and yet mysterious. i like it.

meredith “your mother was a hamster” licht had a really good one:
“guaranteed irrelevant, irreverent, and irresponsible chaos in your mailbox once a week.”
mere chose to go with the three (3) i’s. she’s cool.

here’s the response i got from laura “danger slippers” bentley:
“Okay, so I’d like to think I get immunity from providing things to the list, y’know, since we’re roomies and all. However, I realize I owe it to you to reply, y’know, since we’re roomies and all. I’ve decided to break my weekly e-mail slogans into catergories. And if you don’t like any of them, fine, but I’m gonna steal all your white socks while you sleep and replace them with pink ones. 🙂 (she wouldn’t dare)
The Informative Slogan:
Buy low. Sell high. The weekly tells you how.
The Slogan of Intrigue: “The weekly owes its phenomenal growth to controversy.”
–Dallas Daily Times
The Abstract Slogan:
Smaller than cat brains. More palatable than wafers. Weekly.
The Portugese Slogan: O semanário. Seja certo lê-lo cada semana.
Reverse-psychology Slogan:
The weekly is out of your league; it’ll only confuse you and make you realize how empty your life is. I wouldn’t read it if I were you.
The Slogan for Those with Short Attention Spans:
The weekly is this really funny e-mail that, hey, I have three highlighters. They are all the colors of M&Ms. Is it M & M or “em-e-nem”? The rapper? Is he a rapper? I’ve seen him on the cover of EW. Drew Barrymore is on the cover of the EW that’s sitting on the floor in my room. I haven’t vaccumed my room since I moved in, cause I don’t own a vaccum. Vaccuum? Vvaaccuumm? Cumin? Is that a poison? They had to poison Rasputin to kill him. Or did he drown? My grandmother’s favourite dog drowned when I was in the sixth grade. I was sick a lot in the sixth grade. I sat next to a boy named Bucky. He had man-boobs. Poor Bucky. Poor anyone who’s name rhymes with sucky. The weekly doesn’t suck.”
man-boobs? thanks for the mental. and no laura, you don’t get immunity. who do you think you are, J-LO, or sumpin’? don’t even front. i liked the abstract slogan best.

jim “www.alexanderpalace.org/palace/Rasputin.html ” bentley wrote:
“Everyone should be positively for Zac.” (like being proactive for Zac, or shorten it to just pro-zac.) How about “Zoloft is the tenth planet of the Solar System.” (probably because old Sol was lonely or having anxiety about Saturn with all those rings.) yeah, i didn’t get it either. but it was pretty cool.

and i got this hilarious one from lori “they’re coming to get you barbara” todd:
taking over the world, but with no country at a time now, as is our own choice have proven our mad skillz.
lori also added a bit if a rap about the british but i think i’ll save that one and put it on my webpage. i think i laughed for 15 minutes after reading it.

well, that about does it. i would just like to add one thing, liz, no slogan? tsk. tsk. the only thing saving you is the whole, “we’ve switched liz’s regular coffee with decaf, let’s see how she’ll respond”. big baby.

oh, and one other thing. EVEN SO will be playing THIS FRIDAY NIGHT at VINEYARD GADSDEN at 7pm. it’s FREE. FREE i tell you! FREEEEEEE!
even so for more info.

have a happy valentine’s day, even though it may be the 2nd most evil day in the world. we still aren’t sure about that one.
