2010 Chicago Cubs Motto Contest

2009-11-06T18:22:25Z

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) . . . . .

A fabulous Chicago Cubs thong! (Winner must be willing to provide an address AND thong size).

Now let's have those mottos!

I knew the prospect of getting into that thing would flush you out.

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:

I knew it. Fitting, considering the fail theme, I guess. This should work:

Piss poor no more.

I offer up women's underwear and everyone shows up.

Comment from Alex Quigley on 2009-11-06

2009-11-06T19:44:10Z

But whenever I offer up women's underwear, usually only the cops do.

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)

Chicago Cubs: Consistently, yet creatively, breaking hearts since 1909.

- Slightly More Expensive and Therefore Slightly Better Than Last Year

- Concession Stands to Soon Contain Actual Food Products!

- One Year Older and Slower

The 2010 Chicago Cubs:

The baseball fan's equivalent of abstinence-only education.

The 102nd time's the charm.

Still Miles away from perfection.

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!

Comment from flyball on 2009-11-06

2009-11-06T21:40:23Z

I like "102nd time's the charm"

Comment from Doc on 2009-11-06

2009-11-06T21:43:57Z

To continue the bathroom theme...

The 2010 Chicago Cubs:
Let's just piss away another summer.

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.

The 2010 Chicago Cubs:

That would be better if it rhymed.

Comment from Umbra on 2009-11-06

2009-11-06T22:29:03Z

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.

Comment from AndCounting on 2009-11-06

Another trough renovation motto:

The 2010 Chicago Cubs
Looking Out for #1

Comment from Doc on 2009-11-06

2009-11-06T22:40:03Z

but don't step in #2.

Comment from Dmband on 2009-11-06

2009-11-06T22:50:27Z

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..

LMAO.

We might have to do this as a playoff. With bracketts and everything.

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.

Comment from gravedigger on 2009-11-06

2009-11-07T03:43:01Z

My favorite is "Wait... you mean thongs aren't one-size-fits-all?"

2009-11-07T07:49:40Z

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)

Comment from cubhater on 2009-11-07

2009-11-07T08:00:49Z

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.
