At the beginning of every football season in Green Bay, WI, a dedicated fan paints a new slogan about the Packers on the fence across from Lambeau Field. Over the years this has become such a phenomenon that its now featured in newspapers and media all over the state. People look forward to the day the fence is being painted. This year there is even an email address where fans can submit suggestions for the slogan. It's a fresh slate every year, a new start every season.
As you think about the new school year, what do you want your slogan to be? Where would you paint it?
Here's something a lot of y'all probably didn't know. A lot of people call me by my middle name, which is (as you may have surmised) Kingsley.
I know, I know. It almost looks like a hypenated last name. I've had plenty of people put my last name as Kingsley-Troupe, but that's not right. Not even a little bit. My middle name is Kingsley and it just so happens that it's (one of) my nickname(s), too.
So, I had a blast whilst procrastinating to edit up the rest of GOODHALO.
Check it:
Seriously. I wish I was a product sometimes. How cool would it be to really have a slogan?

CJ Ray has tagged me with a most creative meme: I must grab the closest book with more than 123 pages, turn to page 123, go five sentences down, and provide the next three sentences here.
How fortuitous that Bartlett's tome sits nearby; a book on bodily functions occupied a nearer space yesterday.
Here are the words from the required quadrant:
Modestus said of Regulus that he was "the biggest rascal that walks upon two legs."
There is nothing to write about, you say. Well then, write and let me know just this--that there is nothing to write about; or tell me in the good old style if you are well. That's right, I am quite well.

I included a bonus sentence because I like the flip voice of the speaker.
My tag is open--if you like this meme, show us what you've got!
In other news, Stephen Parrish gave me an E for excellence blog award. Thank you, Stephen! I'll add it to my sidebar.
Being noted for excellence is an inspiration to aspire to greater heights. I want to achieve excellence in all my endeavors. I want to be all I can be. Oh, wait, that's the Army.
Get an Edge on Life, that's the Army, too, but the other slogan,
Be All You Can Be is better. Here are a few more:
It's not just a job. It's an adventure! Navy slogan. I give it an E for excellent!
The Few. The Proud. Marine Slogan. SC for super cool!
Aim High. Air Force. O for okay.
Be Part of the Action. Coast Guard. B for boring. There's gotta be something better than that. Post your alternative in the comments!
I’m employing hyperbole to make a silly point. A Librarian’s Guide to Etiquette amuses me. Their most recent post Coworkers, Diagnosing the mental health of your allows you to talk about your crazy coworkers in the comments. Go nuts, you know you want to.

Okay, I resisted the urge to show the dirty ones. But WOW. Who know slogans were so perverted?
Here's my top three:
Suzanne-The Freshmaker!
A day without Suzanne is like a day without sunshine.
Because Suzanne is complicated enough.
Hi Thomas! Sorry I haven't checked in in a while, but I've been having fun reading and "catching up". Congrats on finishing GoodHalo. This is awesome!!!
