Nice touch!
O.k., I’ll fess up, that was an accident, but still kinda funny!

See, I’ve tried to tell my husband that. He’d really fit in.

I think this’ll do better in IMHO.
Hey, maybe that can be the official Great Debates motto…

Gaudere is on the right track. We have a motto (and we’re stuck with it, I guess). We need tag lines for the various forums.
SDMB:
No subject too obscure that someone won’t take offense at its discussion.
Complicated answers to simple questions!
We tried fighting ignorance, now we’re just ignoramuses, fighting.

I like that idea.
The BBQ Pit - “Better Debates than Great Debates.”
MPSIMS - “Cat pictures and flirt threads. What more can you ask for?”
IMHO - “Opinions, humble and otherwise.”
Café Society - “You need to watch more tv.”
Great Debates - “If boring, long-winded debates are your thing, look no further!”
ATMB - “About This Message Board. If you need more explanation, you probably don’t belong here.”
“Is that a leg?”
“Dinsdale…?”
SDMB: Goats for everyone (and a sheep for Hal)!
Nah, on second thought that’s getting old.
How 'bout just…
SDMB : Plenty of goats to go around
My favorite:
“Conquistador Instant Brand Coffee gives new meaning to the word Vomit.”
My suggestion is:
“Bwuh?”
Never out of place, this phrase fits every occasion.
“A noble spirit embiggens the smallest person.”
Fighting ingnorance since 1973 with a 1920’s style “Death Ray.”

On second thought…
Maybe the “smallest” in the motto above needs a whimsical treatment similar to the “embiggens” to keep the full spirit of the motto.
For example only, and not to be taken for the real thing: disensizedest so it would read
“A noble spirit embiggens the disensizedest person.”
Not a very good word now that I look at it, so I hope a clever person might come up with something much much better. Somewthing that instantly and simpletonishly connotes smallness.
But then again, maybe the motto in its original form is exactly right.
I used to be indecisive, but now I’m not so sure. (Stolen shamelessly from a NYT crossword puzzle.)
Arrogance comes with a price, and that price is $14.95 annually.
