Unlike those "contests" at -- ahem -- some *other* sites. So, I figure our weekenders (technically, it's still the weekend) deserve a shot at it, too. Here’s the deal. A. Go back to the link in the first sentence (you know, the one you ignored in your hurry to see what this is all about) and get the gist of what I’m hoping to achieve. B. Snarken up your #2 posting finger and get ready to play.

Demi-Denizennes have to dust ry's comic book collection and chaperone Maggie during pub-crawls. The pay is lousy, but you get to read the comic books... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/tagline_contest.html#comment-63978 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/tagline_contest.html#comment-63978 Tue, 04 Sep 2007 22:54:03 -0600 FLATTERED!!! I would say that anything that screws its way into the sky flies according to unnatural principals. Just another take on beating the air into submission. ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/tagline_contest.html#comment-63976 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/tagline_contest.html#comment-63976 Tue, 04 Sep 2007 22:06:58 -0600 *grin* You *KNOW* I like it.. perhaps another "name it" contest should be "What does Sis like?" hehe btw...

SugarButtons, beating the air into submission since Christ was a corporal. TINS, fiddly bits, and so, so much more.
