Show’s slogan contest produces pile of entries
Chambersburg, Pa.
Entries are piling up for a slogan contest being sponsored this year by the North American Manure Expo.
The trade show, now in its 13th year, showcases the latest technology in manure handling, treatment and application. It’s taking place in July in Chambersburg.
An official event slogan has already been settled on: “2015 Manure Expo: Manure than you can Handle!” It will appear on the front of a T-shirt.
But contestants are vying to land a spot on the back of the T-shirt, which event organizers say will display 10 of the “crappiest” also-rans. Writers of the 10 alternate slogans get a free T-shirt.
Many entries, predictably, contain a vulgar substitute for “manure.”
Here are 10 (printable) entries from the approximately 200, that were submitted recently:
Manure Expo, where nobody stands behind their product.
You provide the creek. We provide the paddle.
Keep your friends close, and your manure further.
The future of what’s left behind!
We do doo. Do you?
Manure Happens (to be Nutritious!)
Been there, Spread that ... (at) the North American Manure Expo
Proud survivor of North American Manure Expo ... It got deep.
Heaping piles of fun!
North American crap shoot.
Tater tots, comfy couch slow down burglar
PETALUMA, Calif.
Police say a would-be burglar got sidetracked by snacks and a comfy place to snooze, heating up some tater tots and taking a nap on the sofa of the house he broke into.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that a homeowner in Petaluma went downstairs to find the man asleep on her sofa Thursday.
The woman rushed to her bedroom, called police and then ran out the front door. She woke up the man, who fled out the back.
Officers parked on the next street spotted him and tried to handcuff him. They used a stun gun on him twice when he resisted. Police say he wasn’t injured.
The Placerville man is being held on $30,000 bail and has a criminal history including arrests for drug and weapons possession.
