the internet is an amazing place. in searching for inspiration for today's blog, i stumbled upon a website called sloganizer.net. i guess this type of site is totally common on the internet, but as i am hardly web-savvy, i was extremely amused by the sloganizer's antics for almost a full five minutes. here's their tagline:

With Sloganizer you'll create the perfect slogan from a keyword of your choice within seconds. Usually the slogan will be just what you were looking for! Should you anyhow not be satisfied, go ahead and create another one. It's as simple as that! The best thing is: Sloganizer.net is absolutely free!

plug in a word, click a button, get a slogan. i decided to base today's blog on sloganizer's ideas for the my chosen key words. i had no agenda; i just plugged words in as they occurred to me. since i am part adult and part 13-year-old, the selection of words got progressively cruder over the course of said five minutes. here's the result of this afternoon's boredom (key words are in bold):

no candace, no kiss.

it must be josh.

don't get in the way of extenuating circumstances.

free grad school.

i wouldn't leave the house without this freakin' blog.

jesus loves my iron lung.

i trust fuckhead.

buttface dreamteam.

the queen buys blue balls.

vagina, the clever way.

herpes is good for you.

you better get inside used condoms.

step into the light with a raging hard-on. (personal favorite)

and of course,

the goddess made SHIBBOLETH.

(does this mean the goddess is sloganizer?)

i think this blog is really about my relationship with the internet. things like sloganizer.net remind me of that weird liquid candy crap that ironically resembles a tube of toothpaste. the idea is amazing, the first taste is glorious, but after a few minutes you feel gross, bored, and sick to your stomach.
