This has been fun so far! Lots of good entries.

One question: When is the deadline for this contest?

Whenever you want. How about the end of the month? That gives everybody plenty of time to put on their thinking caps, get brain lubricant (for me that would be iced spiced Rum) or do their tribal spirit dance to get inspiration. at the end Winner can send shipping address to a Mod they trust. Mod can forward to me and I'll ship it. If they are the paranoid type I'll send it to a Mod and the Mod can ship it. I'll use priority mail cause its cheap. Keep 'em coming.

Regards,
Shadowalker

"...and you said I was crazy"
I guess it only really applies after the fact, but then it will be the most satisfying slogan imaginable.

"Survival is the first step towards prosperity"
Good, but maybe a bit rhetorical, survival is the first step towards anything at all, excluding death.

Posted this in another thread, but it seems applicable:

I take no credit for the image, was found via Google.

That's another thing, images and symbols can extend or reinforce the meaning of a slogan and shouldn't be excluded from discussion.

Deadlines! They defy truth,
Look closely and you can see

Very prophetic, especially considering the region that the ass-crack passes through on your pic!

Live today, prepare for tomorrow, and drink in moderation tonight... Unless she's ugly!

The only thing worse than not having vital supplies for your family in a crisis is realizing that you could have easily gotten them earlier.

Not all survive
in troubled times
the Wise prepare
the Gods decide

This is intended to be read five ways. Lines 1-4, lines 1-2, lines 2-3, lines 3-4, and finally lines 5 & 1.

I've written a fair amount of haiku, but always counted syllables. never did one based on word count before. Never had one come out like this before, either.

LdMorgan · « **Reply #86 on:** October 07, 2010, 10:28:36 PM »

It doesn't matter that my haiku is a late entry--I'd be happy if the contest never ended!

I really enjoyed this entire thread tremendously, both the slogans and the haiku contest.

I sometimes wish there was a poetry thread just for the fun of it here on the Forum.

Something where people could post everything from haiku and Limericks to ballads and sonnets.

Oops--I've outed myself as a serious poetry freak!

(Oh, well!)

As I write this, my father is not long for this world. I don't know that these are survival slogans, but they keep popping up in my life at various times. When I was young and in need of advise, he usually offered me some form of cowboy wisdom that left me wondering what answer he was inferring. I'll throw it out and let you ponder the application.

"There never was a horse that couldn't be rode, never was a cowboy that couldn't be throwd."

A couple others come to mind that are just for the smiles

"Son, there's two thangs I hate to hear,,, a grown man cry and a fat lady fart."

"Never seen an ugly woman or had a bad bisquit."
