Hey howdy hey. Yes, it’s **Baglady** , coming out from behind the shadows of **Obfusciatrist** ’s behind to post in the Boards once again!! There was a time when I was actively making :wally buttons for Dopefests. And ya know… I still am! In fact, I’ve bought myself a fancy schmancy computer program that lets me curve and twist font letters nicely, so I can now easily curve letters around the outside perimeter of the button design. I was playing around with the letters when I realized I needed a short slogan for the bottom of the button. It looks kind of bare right now. I haven’t been struck with any good or inspiring phrases. I like the “Fighting ignorance since…” so any Board-specific twist on that might work, maybe. Any ideas? It can be punny, funny, odd, etc. but it does need to be short; I’d say no more than 25 letters, or five words or so. I’m sticking this in IMHO because I think the folks who post to this thread will be sharing their HO’s with us. Well um… well, you know what I mean. Heh. ---

Well, here are a few suggestions: The classic “Fighting ignorance…” can’t be bad “Realistic tone and balance” “Made from 99.9% recycled putz” “Been there, done that, got this button” I’ve got more, but that’s it for now. p.s. is there anyway I could get one of those cool buttons mailed to me? I usually can’t attend dopefests, so would be unable to get one that way. Anyway, just asking. ---

“WWWD?” Of course, this stands for “What Would Wally Do?”, which I think is only right, since he DID start the whole “putz” thing. ---

You asked for my HO, so here goes: Not to comment on Wally, since he was before my time, but the putz thing is suffering from overexposure. Maybe it’s time to give it a rest. Why not have that logo with the guy with the bag? ---

You realize, of course, if you rotate slogans, people will want to collect all of them!!! Gee, this might could be SDMB’s answer to Beanie Babies!!! 🙂 **SDMB :wally and proud of it** A bit long: **I was a complete :wally at the SDMB fest** Way too long, but what the heck: **I behaved like a :wally at the SDMB fest and all I got was this lousy button** 😉 ---
