Need a Slogan

I'm pretty keen on winning a 't-shirt design' competition but because i'm not funny i need help and i know that some of you guys are pretty witty..yes, yes you are

anyway, the task is to come up with a slogan about civil engineers. (because that's what i'm studying). i was thinking something along the lines of 'don't use anything civil engineers build. i'm one and i wouldn't'..except more funny. meh i'm no comic.

i do civil engineering and all they gave me was this lame t-shirt. bit overdone methinks.

the mining engineers had t-shirts which said 'go out with miners, we go down in the dark' which i thought was quite amusing.

so anything? i'll give you full credit for something funny after the people in charge think i came up with it

Haven't thought of anything spectacular yet: "Need an erection? Call a civil engineer."

Remember, they're civil engineers. Those erections are public erections.

well after putting all these entries in, and i did make acknowledgment that these weren't my ideas, the civil engineering school voted on Mythor's Our Erections Last A Lifetime slogan. the runner up in the competition was a slogan that said 'Civil Engineering...At least it's not an Arts Degree' which i thought was lame, cause you could apply that to anything.

the tshirt is going to have the slogan on it, and a picture of the leaning tower of piza.

they're really gonna start printing these. so if you see them, you will know this is where it originated from


thanks dudes, for your help in helping me with this comp

Fuck yeah!



Did you win any nifty prizes? Or just the glory of being slogan-lady?

no nifty prize, just the honour of having the slogan on the t-shirt, and one free t-shirt!!

they're only going to print 100 to start with, and depending on how much interest there is, they may get another 100 done, and then they're going to sell them year after year until they all disappear, so that's somewhat of an honour too. hehehe

Anything except an Arts Degree.

As an ex-Arts major and a person married to an Arts degree holder, I just wanna say, "HEY!" We do contribute something to this world, even if it is only spelling and grammar Nazis.

YES! Absolutely. (Even if I didn't study English past Year 12 and often correct the spelling and grammar of those who did)

Grammar Nazis rule!

See I don't have any old arts degree, I have a contemporary arts degree. It's amazing how many people in my course argued it was more vocationally based than the stock standard arts degree. Yeh, well, could could say that.....although how many drama majors get regular work as a result from their contemporary arts degree!!

I live in a country mining town and for our Rodeo/Mardi Gras a few years ago we had a banner on our work float saying: "Cowboys last 8 seconds. Miners go hard for 8 hours!" We had it on display at the front of work for a few months after until an old lady complained to the Mayor and he made us take it down.

We also have bumber stickers saying "Mt Isa... where half the population are having sex with minors" (an oldie but a goodie lol) and our tourist information centre and local souvenir shop sell shirts that say "Happiness is Mount Isa in the rearview mirror" with a little pic of Mount Isa in a rear view mirror. The mayor tried to stop them from being sold as well but the town revolted and the shirts remain! lol

*sigh* I love hating my town

I'd say Mount Isa is a redneck town, but half the population are yet to develope necks.

Yeah century mine is somewhere up here. Now why on earth would you want to voluntarily move to Mount Isa????? It's so boring here. The Roadshow once a year is the only live comedy we get *hugs MICF Roadshow*. Alice Springs gets more stuff then we do! lol Sorry I am soo ready to move on to civilisation!

anyway.. eerrrr shirts... cool! so when do we get to see them?
