weekend homework assignment

I can hear you, there in the back, whining about homework. Over the weekend, even, when there’s football to watch.

Well, buck up, mister. This is an easy one, anyway.

As I’ve written here many times, I love the clothes from One More Mile. In fact, in the header is a picture of me wearing one of their shirts. Anyway, I love their stuff, and they are having a contest to introduce new slogans. And it’s all fun and games until.. oh, wait, that’s all it is, fun and games.

Below is the list of slogans, or you can go here and read more about it. The thing is to vote on your five favorites, and the winner of the contest gets $100 and a t-shirt with their slogan on it.

Full disclosure: I am in the contest, and if you vote for my slogan, I might win a shirt. Wouldn’t that be great? But I won’t tell you which one is mine, which means I don’t really have a ghost of a chance =P

It’s time to vote on slogans! After viewing the list below, send us an email with your top five favorite slogans ranked 1 – 5, one being your favorite and five being your fifth favorite. Send the list to contests@onemoremile.net. You have one week to send in your votes.

Morning people

Scene 1:

I’m sitting on the toilet, it’s 5:00 AM. No lights, trying not to disturb anyone who is sleeping.

I fart.**

The dog comes running in from the other half of the house, acting like she hasn’t seen me in months and OH MY GOD HERE YOU ARE!

Scene 2:

Sitting at breakfast, and the oldest comes running in with underwear over his head and face, yelling “this is an armed robbery, hands up!”

“Uh, why aren’t your hands up?”

“Because you have underwear on your head.”

Scene 3:

My youngest boy loves to belt out “You’re a grand old flag” at the top of his lungs while getting dressed. And you thought they don’t teach them anything useful in school.

** note: the fart was the foghorn kind, not the bog of eternal stench kind. Not that the dog would care.
