Welcome to LOHO's 2010 Chicago Cubs Motto Contest!
The rules here are simple: whoever comes up with the best motto for this team wins. In order to keep this from devolving into an "Aaron Miles Sucks" contest (which we'll be having later in the month), let's keep the mottos to two themes: the Chicago Cubs as a franchise through history (see above) OR something specific to the 2010 team. So, for example, Milton Bradley jokes aren't going to get you anywhere.
If you want, you can use the motivational poster maker like I did, but feel free to just type out your motto in the comments, too. There's no need to be fancy.
All submissions must be in by 5:00 pm CT tonight. The LOHO editors will then pick the best motto. The winner will receive (drumroll please) . . . . .

Who'd of thought a thong would bring me out of hiding?
cubbiejulie said:
I knew the prospect of getting into that thing would flush you out.
smwojoz said:
Well, blue with red lettering and white outlining is my color.
smwojoz said:
Truth be told, it was the Phineas and Ferb reference in the last thread that did it. Now the song is gonna be in my head all day.

Here's one based on the one improvement we know the Ricketts are planning to make this year:
My apologies if the link doesn't work. I don't trust that code.
AndCounting said:
I knew it. Fitting, considering the fail theme, I guess. This should work:
Piss poor no more.
Ed Nickow said:
I see no reason
To submit other mottos
Give Adam the thong
(Still ... I reserve the right to hypocritically submit my own, superior, motto when I think of it)
cubbiejulie said:
Wow.
You can't teach that.

I offer up women's underwear and everyone shows up.
Alex Quigley said:
But whenever I offer up women's underwear, usually only the cops do.
cubbiejulie said:
Blatant violation of your constitutional rights. I'd get a lawyer.
cubbiejulie said:
From @ryascolot: "They're just waiting for you to die."
Hee.
gravedigger said:
Let's go ahead and call this here.
flyball said:
I think that could be it
Chicago Cubs: Lets just call the season over right now
cubbiejulie said:
*snort*
flyball said:
sigh, I knew I shoulda kept some creativity for Friday
Chicago Cubs: Consistently, yet creatively, breaking hearts since 1909.
cubbiejulie said:
Twitter entry from @areyouss: "Cubs Baseball: Where Ricketts Isn't Just a Disease"
gravedigger said:
I likey that too.

These aren't your father's, grandfather's, great grandfather's, nor your great great grandfather's Cubs!
MillsChC said:
Wait... you mean thongs aren't one-size-fits-all?
Doc Blume said:
The 2010 Chicago Cubs:
New Owners.
New Players.
New Bathrooms.
Same Crap!
AndCounting said:
One of these years, 29 other teams will fail.
flyball said:
Perfecting Suckiness for over 100 years
Doc Blume said:
Ricketts: It's not just a disease anymore.
Doc Blume said:
oh...stupid me, that one was already done.
herlihy said:
The 2010 Chicago Cubs:
The baseball fan's equivalent of abstinence-only education.
The 102nd time's the charm.
Still Miles away from perfection.
flyball said:
I like "102nd time's the charm"
Doc Blume said:
The miles one...excellent!!!
--MGb said:
2010 Cubs - No Shirts, No Shoes, No Pennant
Dmband said:
I vote for Doc's but you have to shorten it just to:
2010 Cubs
New bathrooms. Same crap.
Seriously...that is perfect...well done!
Doc Blume said:
To continue the bathroom theme...
The 2010 Chicago Cubs:
Let's just piss away another summer.
gravedigger said:
like
cubbiejulie said:
My favorite so far is 102nd Time's the Charm.
Heh.

cubbiejulie said:
I love this one.
Doc Blume said:
2010 Chicago Cubs:
We promise Milton Bradley will not flip you off this year.
Doc Blume said:
One thing I have learned staying home from work today:
Wonder Pets will literally drive me nuts.
That actually might work for a motto too.
Doc Blume said:
The 2010 Chicago Cubs:
We keep suckin' and the fans keep comin'
gravedigger said:
haha
AndCounting said:
That would be better if it rhymed.
Umbra said:
There's a 'dating coach' on TV, who is promoting the 'undating revolution'. Dinners, she says, are out. No more going out to dinner. Instead, I swear this is true, she(!) says you should try more creative outings: "cook together, play laser tag together".
This woman is a paid professional, whose advice (for which she is receiving American dollars) is to play laser tag for a date.
So, yeah, the abject failure contained in that idea is a good motto for the Cubs. Chicago Cubs: Like a Laser Tag Date.
AndCounting said:
Another trough renovation motto:
The 2010 Chicago Cubs
Looking Out for #1
Doc Blume said:
but don't step in #2.
Dmband said:
The one upside of a laser tag date is it starts in a room with the lights off, however those wierd vests they make you wear are not very flattering. Not to mention the helmet some places make you wear....Yeah, I have no problem wearing a helmet someone else was wearing and running around in, do you have any "loaner socks" while Im at it..
millertime said:
Thats why I bring my own gear.
cubbiejulie said:
Okay, everyone. Let's have your favorites.
gravedigger said:
My favorite is "Wait... you mean thongs aren't one-size-fits-all?"
Maim said:
The one I always use is "Ehh. It passes the time."
cubbiejulie said:
LMAO.
We might have to do this as a playoff. With bracketts and everything.
Perkins said:
If you can't do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly.
So I stole it from a despair.com poster, but I feel it's apt.
cubhater said:
1) The Chicago Cubs is a perfectly fine name.
2) The Chicago Cubbies is a childish nickname. To call your team the Cubbies is equal to calling the Schmoopies.
3) AC0264INFINITY EAMUS SCHMOOPIES
4) Fate sealed.
4)
cubbiejulie said:
Thanks for playing. Those mottos are terrible.
cubhater said:
And anyone who spends more than $1.25 for an Old Style of any size deserves their century old fate of losing. Look at what it did for my syntax tonight. Lord, please don't make a Schmoopie fan.

2010 Cubs, slightly better than the 70's Cubs!
Biltard said:
2010 Cubs, Wait until 2011

2010 Cubs, They play at the most expensive bar in Chicago!
