I’m holding a contest! It’s open to any living human being with access to the interweb, and a decent knack for wit within the language of English. You see that gray box in the top right corner of this site? It displays a new quote every time you refresh a page on my site. Try it now. Press refresh. See that? That’s the magic of the “Random Words” plug-in by Planet OZH.

Now, currently, all the quotes up there are mildly amusing (and somewhat disheartening) pieces of self-deprecating posturing. Besides coming across as strangely arrogant, in a reverse-psychology type of way, they’re also not very funny. I’d like YOU to help me out.

Please submit to me your own ideas for taglines to be featured in the rotating quote database at the top. I’ll select my very favouritest favourites for inclusion in the database. All participants will receive proper credit in a very special end-of-tournament post, including a link back to your own page. The person who submits THE best one will receive a handwritten postcard from me of Airdrie, Alberta, via the actual postal service. Isn’t that a wonderful prize?

Okay, here are the rules:

Need some ideas or examples? Mike Karikas does something similar with his site, in your browser’s title bar. Check it out for the sake of coolness.

Those are the only important rules. To submit an entry, just visit my contact page to send me an email, and make sure you select “Tagline Tournament!” from the drop-down menu. Have fun, and tell your friends!
