Seriously Weird!
Friends | Posted by Jannie on 6 March 2009 @ 6:57 AM 49 Comments
That wonderful new “Seriously Weird” tagline on my header? I owe that little gem to Robin Birch of Let’s Live Forever. It was her succinctly apt response to my recent “So there!” (3 big beers and a donut for lunch) post. Thanks, Robin – it’s so perfectly me!
So… I am wondering, my lovely blog buds, if you might have other ideas for good taglines for me? I’d like to use some of your suggestions in the future, with an acknowledgement and a link to your site in a sidebar widget. No big prizes for this one, friends — just the fame and infinite glory! And the taglines I choose, I’ll leave up on my header for a week or two or three. Maybe use them in future years too, with the same acknowledgement to you.
Some of my other taglines since I started this blog have been…
- Singing, Songwriting, Bra-Flinging & Such
- Fannie Junster
- Grannie Jannie
- Now with less eyeball, but more brow
- Totally somebody now
- Warning: may contain traces of poetry
- A garden of humble self-absorption
- When in doubt go for the fun
- Fun is really quite a good thing
- Changing the world one wedgie at a time
- A surprisingly nicheless niche
- Home of the wedgie wedding
- Home of the-perming-of-the-bangs
- I need a man with a chainsaw
So? Any ideas? Please?
I’ll leave this open for over a week. I’m sure I’ll post again in the meantime, but you are welcome to come back here and enter this fabulous “contest” until… 11:59 p.m. Texas (Central Daylight Savings) time on Saturday the 14th of March, 2009.
Limit of 100 entries per household, per day.
Void where funsterment is prohibited.

I personally think you should make this: Limit of 100 entries per household per day; into this: Limit of 100 Blog Posts Per Day. (which would be your post and then 99 comments.)

Hi Jannie – Seriously, I think it’s going to be tough for us to come with anything more original than the ones you’ve used already. And I can’t even come up with an interesting tagline for my own blog.
I guess you could try Jannie Funster………singing for you in rubber waders.

Seriously Weird is dang close to my moniker…I’m just sayin’! So…as opposed to that tagline, I suggest Jannie Funster Just Like She Sounds (you can see how this can work in so many ways I’m sure, but if you need me ramble on about it, let me know…heh).

Taglines I guess are right under your name on the top of the blog? Which is different than your catagories, which reside to the side of the blog, kind of in the margins. I mean,
* Ass Kicking
* Rooftop Yodeling
* Jannie’s Funny Typos
all would fit into the tagline modality. But add to that:
* Janknee FunSteer
* Home of Mastication Perversion
* Headquarter for Mothers Against Public Displays of Marital Aids.
* Home to Bras Through the Ages
* Fuzzy Pants Distributor
* Fuggedabout Cholesterol: Eat More Cheese
* A Hard Man is good to Find (blush)
* Breasts Across Texas
* Bra Flinging Added to School Sports Curriculum
* One-Eyed Blondes Have More Fun
* Home to Tree House Condos
* Warning: Funny Bone Fracture Zone
* Fuzzy Thongs Feel Fine
* Wedgie Dojo Clinic & Fitness Center
* Funster Hairstyling: Long Hair in Front, short hair in back.
* Funster Delicatesian: We Wrap Your Meat Politely.
* Jannie’s Juke Joint: Open 24/7
* Funsterland: Laugh till You Drop, then go shopping.
* Fixin to Do It Department
* I Was a Singer for the FBI
* Bra Flinging Tournements: No Underwires Please
That’s all folks; for now.

Some of these are really really great for me! I will be using several of them for sure.
Now, should I work on my music or go take a nap?
Totally the nap, I think.

Oh my goodness! Your buddy Glenn has cornered the market on Jannie taglines! I can’t think of anything more creative for myself at this point… You do a great job, but I think it’s a great idea to solicit your readers. If something pops into my head, I’ll be back!

ha ha – thanks Jannie!
I’m just a little puzzled that the tagline at the moment is aka Fannie Junster – now THAT is seriously weird.
I am also wondering about the delightfully subtle hues of the tartan background you have at the moment – I’ll use it for inspiration for my next curtains.
Bye now x

Jannie, love all these tag lines! I will study on it a bit! Like the Seriously Weird!

Debbie: Yes, isn’t “Seriously Weird” Seriously Great?? And to think it wasn’t really even planned out to be so marvelous.
Belle: Alas, most of my recipes involve far too much sugar. Or vinegar. Woe is it to be me.
Ah Karyn, but I already do my dishes only once a week as it is, what would I do with a post a day and 99 comments to answer? Dishes once a month? But I guess with the $4.00 a week off Google ads I’d be making, I could hire some kid to come in for half an hour a week and tidy up.
Shay: I have been agonizing moment-by-monent about how and when to best honor that Scared Clown award, things have to be Just Perfect for it you know. But wait, oh there goes a doctor in a Saab – let me ask him…
Cath: Here’s YOUR tagline… “How To Kick Ass In Business And Still Smell Like A Rose.”
Paige: Thanks for those suggestions!
Jessica: I do like cheese on hings, don’t I?
Seriously Weyrd1: Weyrd is good, as we who are lucky enough to be it, well know.
Glenn: How did you find out about the FBI thing? Of course it’s okay to talk about now that I’m no longer linked to them but, HOW DID YOU KNOW!??!?!? (And of course I have to use at LEAST two of those.)
Jewel: Seriusly Funny, that is nice of you. Thanks.
Dot: One of these I LOVE, it will for sure make a grand appearance one day. Thank you. (See, you were good.)
K: Really? I felt embarassed over the “humble self-absorption” one. I thik I only kept it up 2 days because I was feeling well, self-absorbed. hee, hee.
Jannie: Hi Me! So nice to see myself here.
Chris: Ain’t Glenn something else?! He has a mind like a steel sieve – er I mean steel trap! Yes, I just love soliciting my readers – I absolutely NEVER know where your fertile minds will get to. Love it!
Tess: Great one, isn’t it? Seriously Weird. yay!!!
Sheila: 1979, wasn’t it? Nope, ‘64. Same as you, right? I really like your idea, actually. Thanks! And you were the first one with it.
Georgie: Are you sure that’s not YOUR tagline??
Pouty: You too on the award and welcome (again,) if I did not already welcome you to Funsterland. It will be so fun getting to know you, I have Shay to thank for that.
Patricia: Great stuff here! Thanks. But I do feel guilty over the Remodelling patience, because you my dear, like the blind carpenter, “picked up your hammer and saw,” far more than I have thus far. But I have had a paintbrush surgically implanted in my right wrist.
Hello Miles: How faithful you are to return here when I’ve been so absent from your frolics. I owe you! And isn’t Jannie G. a guy? A cute blond guy, if my Googling memory serves me right. Oh and did you see the Jannie Funster (little brunette girl,) on MySpace?!?!
Robin: We meet again, at last, my lovely inspiration for this post! I am wonderfing if perhaps you had me in a reader or Comment Luv to see the old “Fannie Junster” line. AND THIS PLAID!!!!! Thank you for commenting (not sure if you actually do like it or are funning me. I was supposed to change it out only on Saturday but got so excited – I just couldn’t wait. I aim to change it up once a week or so. And I do so love this tartan. Seriously blue and aqua.
Kimmi: Thank you. That one is soooooo catchy indeed!
Good nite!

Frimpole of the Austin, Might I partake of this quest? namely for one reason should there be a prize on offer then I should like to be the one who clasps said prize to bosom. That in the intro no BIG prizes were aforementioned a little prize would suffice. The winning six numbers in the lottery, posted to me of course in a sealed brown envelope, or something equally generous as befitting such a brainstorming and (brain) numbling exercise. Before you take me to task in the use of a word that perhaps is not in your ken, and I refer here to numbling, that is a word which in part describes such an effort to come up with a description of illustrious blogs such as this one (seriously wierd). After many days of sorting through words that have lodged over time in my poor excuse for a brain I have come up with, or regurgitated, these examples.
1. Funster’s Feghoots
2.Feghooting with Funster
3.Feghoots are synonymous with Funster
any number of combinations of all three, or none at all,it is really, just in pun.
I remain Yrs Fth,(a) Robbi (which is actually a Feghoot)

Caity: Yep, thre are some relaly relaly funny ideas here. I totally knew my blog buds would shine through. Glad things are kinda okay over there in CaityLand. You do mean a lot to me. Gonna check in on you again after I post this.
Momisodes: Interesting!
Phat beats. ME?
Matthew: That’s a cool one too. Thanks.
Heather: I like it a lot! Thanks.
Robbistry: “Feghoot worked for the Society for the Aesthetic Re-Arrangement of History and traveled via a device that had no name but was typographically represented as the “)(”. That one? That’s totally new on me. I’ve been so sheltered, I fear. How ’bout “Two Hoots For The Funster Feghoot?”
Renee: And luckily I am not allergic to it!
Rhett: Good one too!!! Oh, and do you have a sexual connotation to “bang” over there too? Yikes, might have to skip that one.
Talon: I get like that too sometimes. Nothing comes to my brain. But soooooo glad to see your lovely face here tonight.
Ohh, People I’ve just made it through another migraine and boy, was it NOT FUN.
