DM T-Shirt Quips
Decatur Metro | January 13, 2010
Dare I ask, but if you were tasked with coming up with a snarky/clever/humorous quip that would appear on the back of a Decatur Metro t-shirt, what would it be?
The only slightly amusing statements I’ve dreamed up with thus far are “Caution: I’ve Been Moderated” & “I Enjoy Fighting With My Neighbors” or inside jokes like “Decatur – There’s a Festival For That”, “If you don’t like it, move.” and something yet to be written with the words “sustainable” and/or “zombies” in it.
Latest from Decaturish
I really like the one you mentioned – “Decatur, There’s a Festival For That”.
Something about “So close, it’s only 45 minutes to anywhere by car!” might work.
Zombies–sustainable humans.
Where people complain about good schools.
Decatur–it’s around the Brick Store.
On both sides of the tracks.
Guinness?
Pull up some of the suggested Decatur slogans from the long thread at the end of last year like you liked and have folks vote on it.
Decatur related ones are a good possibility, but I’m also looking for some that are site related. Even better if they hint at what the site is all about. And they’re funny.
A tall order.
But yes, I did look through the “Describe Decatur in 6 Words” thread and there were a lot of good ones in there.
Free Westchester!
(with purchase of large smoothie)
Kids running amok. Parents drinking up.
Runners and strollers stay off the street or I’ll run you over in my Prius. (Or Subaru or Saab.)
Where Atlanta hipsters go to procreate.
We eat. We drink. We bitch.
I love the DFM, but…
LOL…I hope Atlanta hipsters aren’t procreating on this website.
I guess a few of those fit better into the Decatur in six words category.
Anonymity standing on a soap box.
How ’bout
Got Decatur Metro?
Passion in a death grip with reason!
Your blog maulternative!
Gather round the campfire and tell sustainability stories!
Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments. -WS
“Maulternative” That’s great!
“Got my own snowflake!”
“I’m one of the snowflakes.”
“Free For All”
Community Smatter!
Decatur Metro – saving the earth one owl at a time
or maybe
Fly, Hootie, Fly
I like the first one!
I like these two very much:
“If you don’t like it, move.”
“Decatur, There’s a Festival For That”
Proud Sponsor of the 2010 Grackle Festival.
I like “Decatur.. There’s a Festival for That” the most though.
I wish we could get sponsored portolets for the grackles. They do leave a mess behind.
“Decatur Metro: Tame Your Kids & Your Pets!”
“Decatur Metro: Where Talkin ‘Bout City Schools, Thievin’ Fools, and Festivals RULES!”
(Sorry. Couldn’t resist that last one.)
Decatur – Mayberry with Attitude
I LIKE THIS ONE!
I really like “Decatur.. There’s a Festival for That”
or “Home of the Friday Free-for-All”
(I know it’s written Free-for-All Friday, but somehow saying it Friday Free-for-All sounded better as a t-shirt quip to me.)
Off the 6-word post, I also like
“Community of Friendly People Anonymously Malevolent”
“Is it Free-for-All Friday yet?”
“DM Rules! (in a moderate way)”
“Taking the ‘dis’ out of discussion”
“Threadjack at your own risk”
“Taking the ‘dis’ out of discussion” — STG, this is golden.
I seem to have awakened to a treasure trove of quips!
Lots of really great ones here, though I’m beginning to note that Russ and Dave’s collaborative effort: “Decatur – there’s a festival for that!” is the crowd favorite.
If you think of anymore, throw them on the pile!
I love Decatur – there’s a festival for that.
maybe you could do an additional shirt , too – for us old timers :
on the front : Decatur – there’s a festival for that
on the back: Just don’t park in front of my house ?
edit – didn’t mean to have that question mark – poor typing skills.
Decatur – there’s blog for that!
Love it! Now if only “blog” wasn’t such a dirty word.
Hmmm, good ideas so far. Here’s a few more t-shirt logo ideas. How about:
“Who is Decatur Metro” or “I am Decatur Metro”
“I hooked up with a zoning snob on Decatur Metro”
“Decatur Metro: The power behind the power”
“Yes we can Decatur…Metro”
I’m thinking a “I am Decatur Metro” onesie.
I LOVE the onesie idea!
How about:
#DecaturGA
or
Decatur: Whatever you’re doing, Carl probably did it first.
I was out of town but I wanted to add my 2 cents:
DEC – Decatur Eating Club
(Oh well, I thought it was funny)
Come for the Sustainable Growth Discussion, Stay for Free-For-All Friday.
