Sour Bob had a good idea, told the world about it, and now he is a publisher.*
Julia noticed an opportunity, made the next move, and now she is courted by the Washington Post.**
It's my turn. I've hit upon the perfect way to turn this thing into an instant fame and fortune generator:
I need a new catchphrase.
Let's face it. "The observations of Hilatron, a space-age robot sent to study the Earthlings...by living as one of them?" It's cumbersome. It lacks pizazz. It's not going to bring in the kids, or the wealthy eccentrics who will decide to be my patrons, or the publishers aching to exchange cash for my writing.
I need something new, a daring catchphrase that will prove irresistible to anyone who happens across it. I tried to think of one of my own, but "Like Andy Rooney. Only With More Gears." just doesn't cut it.
Thus, I turn to you, dear readers, for help. Announcing the Hilatron Needs a New Catchphrase Contest!
Please e-mail me your suggestions for a stunning new slogan. I will review the entries, looking for those that are sexy, sum up the basic space-age-robotitude of blogatron, and promise to attract love and success. Three lucky winners will receive special surprises, and one will have the great honor of being selected as my new catchphrase.
Those are the rules, folks. I look forward to seeing all of your entries. Beep beep and thanks a million!
*Please make him a successful one by buying his book. I'm sure it will be good.
**Deservedly so, of course.
I'd email you but I'm lazy. I like your catchphrase the way it is.
I'm feeling blunt today, otherwise this would be more informative.
