Tag Lines For Me - Martin Bowling’s Zima Contest For You

by monicawright on September 17, 2008

Every time a think of working on this blog what comes top of mind is that I really, really need a tag line. When I first started I thought I needed a good blog name, but a tag line would be better. And for some reason, after years in marketing, I still can’t think of a good one. I do much better at other people’s stuff.

So yesterday I saw Martin Bowling’s Zima Meme Contest (just learned the term meme and it’s not the Grandma who lives in Lewiston, Maine). Off the cuff I twittered I’ll enter anyone for the Zima contest who suggests a tag line. Of course, I got a few right away, because my Twitter community is so generous:

Martin Bowling Loves Zima, even with the cap on.

Martin Bowling Loves Zima, even with the cap on.

@robmills: “Teaching SEO Kata” and “Kicking the crap out of search engines”

@chuckallied: “Monica Wright. Never Wrong.”

@mikekirkwood: “monicawright.com: where Monica and good combine into form.”

For each, I’ll twitter a Zima-flavored haiku, keeping under 140 characters, and incorporating their handle. (I’m not going to use the “@” as a syllable, gives me more fodder that way). What I’ve got so far:

1. Teaching SEO Kata.

@robmills now drinking

SEO Zima.

2. @robmills tweets 2 me:

Kick the crap out of search engines.

Zima kicks my ass.

3. @chuckallied is awesome:

Monica Wright. Never Wrong.

But is Zima Wright?

4. @mikekirkwood “me plus

good = form. Zima? Lose

form, balance and cookies.

Btw – don’t you just love the sample images that come with the WordPress Thesis theme? Gotta do something about that too. I’ll work on making that Zima flavored through October 3.

Another entry from NeOBlog: “I can levitate birds … no one cares” (from Steve Wright). My Zima haiku response:
@NeOBlog lifting
birds high in the sky. Poor Zima.
No one cares for Zima.

New Zima haiku: Zima or Bud Light?
I wonder which one @djpaisley prefers best.

Another Zima haiku: No tagline from @Web_Guy always tweeting, gets bonus Zima haiku.
