My Favorite from some forgotten construction company. I remember the slogan, not the company,
"We scrimp on safety and pass the saviongs on to you!"
I meditate, I burn candles, I drink green tea, and still I want to smack someone.
I heard it as "We screwed the last guy and we'll pass the savings on to you"
Not the same but saw a license plate on a vette a few weeks ago that said
EMTAE
took me a moment then snorted my coffee.
Still don't get it, the Vette thing caught my eye though. Car show this summer, Lambo Contach, plate read, ENZO WHO

saw one that was a pyramid with three words: Fast, Good, Cheap; and underneath "pick two"
I recall a sign on a small alcohol beverage outlet near Barker Dam /Resevoir in Nederland Colorado that proudly read: "Best Little Liquor Store By A Dam Site"
<saw one that was a pyramid with three words: Fast, Good, Cheap; and underneath "pick two">I worked for a guy that thought it was pick one.
At the last company I worked for, the carpenters all had their own Company slogan:
We've built so much with so little for so long we can now built anything out of nothing!
There is a company in New Zealand specializing in replacement Windows - "Well-Hung Windows"
ok, perhaps I am feeling a bit dense tonight but what does EMTAE mean?

When I realized what it said I also realized you got to say the word 'backwards' with it so it has stronger meaning. I wanta know how that one got past.
Either here or somewhere else I read where a fellow listed his choices for personalized tag. He could only think of 2 so on the line for the 3rd choice he put 'no tag'
Seems that's what they gave him and now he's getting lots of parking tickets and such sent to him. Seems when they can't read or the tags missing the officers are putting 'no tag' down and thus he gets the bill.
Sorry if this is a repeat.

How about: (I think seen somewhere here on Breaktime)

Also:

I've always prefered the west coast style of play, much faster, makes our guys look like slugs. I can't figure out why you dont have a few, it's always amazing to see how some teams can go from the bottom to the top in a few years and then back to the bottom again. (Look at Ottawa now!) In Toronto, we like the bottom, no where to go but up.
I was at a Capitals game in Maryland years back versus the Canucks and I had to explain to the American girls beside me what a Canuck is. I guess my charm was lacking because that is where the conversation ended.
Cam Neely was a Canuck and then Bruin or do you mean somebody else?

He started out that way, and ended up like that too. When he was here, he was an outdoors man, a fisherman and hunter. He and his wife loved Hockey, so
"Stanley CupStanley's sons became avid ice hockey players in Canada, playing in amateur leagues in Ottawa, and in consequence Lord and Lady Stanley became staunch hockey fans. In 1892, Stanley gave Canada a treasured national icon — the Stanley Cup. He originally donated the trophy as a challenge cup for Canada's best amateur hockey club but in 1909 it became contested by professional teams exclusively. Since 1926, only teams of the National Hockey League have competed for the trophy. This now famous cup bears Stanley's name as tribute to Stanley's encouragement and love of outdoor life and sport in Canada. In recognition of this, Stanley was inducted into the Canadian Hockey Hall of Fame in 1945 in the "Honoured Builders" category. The original size of the Stanley Cup was 7 inches (180 mm) and now is around 36 inches (910 mm) and 35 pounds. Unlike other sport trophies, the Cup is not remade every year." ....
Anyone who loves hockey THAT much, MUST be Canadian, eh?Quality repairs for your home.

Wow, I'm very impressd with that info. I think the original cost of the Stanley Cup was 48 bucks. The year of the lock out there was talk of some law suit trying to get it back to the ameteur ranks.
I understand the actual cup never leaves the Hall and there is two replicas that travel around. Randy Carlysle is from Azilda, another small town near me. A few summers ago he brought the cup to the arena in his town. I think everybody showed up. He stayed till everybody got their turn, showed some real class.
I spent all day in the Hall a few years ago and didn't even see it all. I have to go back but my wife and two girls (12 years old) say the y only will go for a couple of hours. I said I would drop them of at the mall.
Have a good day

Player manager of the Hardy Hockey Club, a old gus team that does not keep stats, have play offs and only occasionnaly backchecks. More fun now than the real hockey growing up.
I hope my grandkids will get so see a cup in T.O. As far as cup contention goes, look at our management, we took Raycroft off of your hands, who else would have done that? There must have been a big bonus to whoever managed to push that one through.
I watched Raycroft plenty when he played for the Sudbury Wolves and he was an average goalie on his best day. I could never understand all the hype early in his career. You guys have Schenn now and with the way things are going maybe Tavares next year.
The joke in our mens team locker room is that Brian Burk has been talking to Tiger Williams!

I've mentioned this one before on BT but it fits this topic nicely.
Back in the early seventies I put together a carpentry crew of long haired country boys, one or more of whom showed up every morning with a vague smile of recognition and not much else.
After a short time, it dawned on me that they looked alot like the Fabulous Furry Freek Brothers. So I started calling us Freek Brothers Framing Company. I even put an ad in the local paper under "services offered".

We had some great times, while building a number of nice vacation homes in the Poconos. Hanging with these guys after work and on weekends for a few months and enjoying some local adventures with them was an excellent experience for a guy from out of the area.

Saw "your hole is my goal" painted on tailgate of truck hauling a backhoe.
This is catchy but could be taken the wrong way, I like it.

Bike shop I used to work at --
"If it's in stock, we've got it!"
Thought of one today.
I used some Roll-A-Tex texture additive for paint made by Zinsser to try to match the texture on a plaster ceiling where I had repaired a crack.
On the box it says: "Hides building defects"
So, I thought, instead of "We do our best, and caulk the rest!"
How about: "We do our best, and Roll-A-Tex the rest!""Objects in mirror appear closer than they are."
