By now, you guys have all seen the poster series ... (There are a couple more below the jump.)

Way back when she conceived the idea, Kiw started a list of words she thought described the "us" of ePluribus Media -- Delicious, Muscle, Nutritious, Contagious ...

But the list has dwindled..and we need more "US" words and catch phrases for the posters...

Got Ideas? -- Please post 'em in the comments.

commentary :: :: :: buzz-it!

Update [2006-7-6 21:57:48 by Cho]: Below are three more that have been generated from this thread (and our birthday card to ourselves!) Got more ideas? Post them here!

Our latest, the News -- oops, the gnus!

NOTE: Dunno if that phrase is copyrighted -- wasn't it from the 60's?

How 'bout a Vonnegut quote? (5.00 / 2) (#6)

There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don't know what can be done to fix it. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president.
-- Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - ), "Cold Turkey", In These Times, May 10, 2004

Show a pic of Georgie-boy -- perhaps the pic from when he tried to exit from a prop-door in Asia -- then put the following:

Let's change that together.
