The witty and incisive posters here generate multiple potential taglines every day--too many to use, at least right away. Threads are littered with good taglines, dropped amidst the ponderous squabbles and left unclaimed. This thread is a place store those taglines. Feel free to leave one or to take one and add it to your signature. And if you are tired of the tagline you have been using, leave it here while you shop for a new one.

This thread seems to be petering out, and that's a good thing.

I hope we've all learned from this thread.

"nothing says headed for the margins of society like learning to play the banjo"
No idea anymore who said it or had it as a sig line but it made me laugh---because it is oh, so true!

I have recently taken the Beyonce Knowle's booty-iliciousness test (high validity and reliability) and found my ba-donka donk to be compatible with putting a ring on it rather than being sent "to the left, to the left".

I think she said something like "will play banjo for food.  Will stop for money."

Should this one be disqualified for being a run-on sentence without appropriate punctuation or capitalization?  Or is that part of the humor?

I know that I will be slogging my ass off the rest of my life and yet I will never be able to live the life style that I have dreamt of living.


Someone must be spreading rumors that a TT job is the route to living the high life.
