Title: Bumper Sticker Competition!
Post by: Tim Noyce on December 17, 2008, 10:08:06 PM
For 2009 it is my aim to launch a range of UK Cherub merchandise which will be available to buy on the website, one of the items will be a UK Cherub Car / Bumper Sticker.

Here comes the fun part... as with most bumper stickers it is good to have a witty tag line. The competition is to come up with the best tag line. Eg. 'UK Cherub - Get your Heart Racing'

When printed, I will personally buy the winner of the top tag line their own personal car sticker! How about that for incentive!  :o


(Ideally the winning tag line will be vaguely sensible and clean, but for the interest of some good banter I will actively encourage funny ideas!)

History:

My fave one of these was on a pale blue background: The enigmatic: "Cherub - Something for the weekend". These days it would have a url too. I really like it because it demands the reader should find out more, and it transcends sailing and even sport in promoting a really excellent thing to do at the weekend.

Here is my suggestion:

"Cherub - Yes you can." (and the website has menus, "You can build" "You can buy" "You can sail" "You can try" "You can design" "You can ask" "you can race" etc)

I once saw a sticker on the back of a rusty old Toyota pickup truck which read... "Sell my Toyota? I'd rather shove wasps up my ass!"

Could be adjusted for the UK Cherub!

Sailing is for losers. Fly Cherub.

My boat scared the life out of Mr T

WARNING: Technical jargon imminent

How’s my capsizing? Call...

UK Cherub: It's not sailing, it’s a way of life.

To get your free swimming lesson now, go to www.uk-cheurb.org

"Are YOU paying too much for you're boat insurance? Consolidate your lay up..." - Can someone modify or finish that for me?

Are you a miserable *******? I know what'll put a grin on your face... (Interpret how wish)

UK Cherub: Because you're worth it.

UK Cherub: Two feet too long.

UK Cherub: Are you compensating for something?

Batman sailed a Cherub, and how cool is he?!

There used to be a range of YFC bumber stickers that went something like this:-
"Young Farmers do it in wellies"
"Chairman do it up front"
"Vice chaiman do it rarely"
"Secretaries do it in minites"

So surely a few good cheruby ones  would be:-

"Cherubers do it in the garage!"
"Cherubers do it from way back"  (ref wheelie bars)
"Cherubers do it......

I'm sure someone could fill in the middle bits much better than me but could we not have something along the same lines as the mastercard adverts:

100 man hours of labour £0

Travel expenses to the event £100

The enigmatic: "Cherub - Something for the weekend".
Is it necessary to point out that for my generation at least the phrase "something for the weekend?" was a well known euphemism for "Does sir wish to purchase any of the products of the London Rubber Company?"
Title: Re: Bumper Sticker Competition!
Post by: lucy_lee on January 25, 2009, 09:49:54 PM

Here's some more.

CHERUB : IT MUST BE LUFF

CHERUB: IN THE NAME OF LUFF

CHERUB: YOUR LUFF LIFTS ME HIGHER

LUFF ME TENDER : CHERUB

LUFF IN A COLD CLIMATE

These all lack the essential property of 'goodness' I think.

I prefer the abstract ones.

Here's something irrelevent:

There are three types of people in the world. The people who make it happen, the people who watch it happen, and the people who say, "What happened?"

Cherub: Debtless wetness since 1951.

Cherub: Be part of something small.

Cherub: Splashdown!

Cherubs do it with love.

Perhaps I should stop this!

LUFF IN A COLD CLIMATE


You undersell yourself. As puns go this is right up there. Relevant to the activity, activity location and the emotion generated by the activity. And further more it uses the literary reference to represent the true nature of Cherub ownership.  That being the ability to socially shock and end up charming all in the end.


Or you could look at it in the Orwellian way, being as Nancy Mitford took the title from Orwell's 'Keep the Aspidistra Flying,' The main theme being protagonist's romantic ambition to give up money, status, and the dismal life that results. This seems equally Cherub like!  ;D
