Sporkle Tag Line...
posted Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 01:29 PM (#6344)
Anybody have a good suggestion for a Sporkle tag line? For the past couple of days the talk around the Battalion has been Sporkle related. In fact, Sporkle has entered into the lexicon as in “Dude, you did bad on that PT test. You've got to lay off the Sporkle." The recent conversation has been about a sporkle tag line. Sure you need a good mascot but the tag line is where it's at. So far we've come up with "Sporkle, the other white soda" and the ever enegmic "Sporkle, drink it naked."

I'm lobbying to have a tank named Sporkle, but I don't think that's going to happen.

FADE IN: Fabulous resort hotel in the Caribbean, camera flying over the beach and towards the water. A school of dolphins jump out of the water. Camera dips down further towards the water's surface, approaching a group BOAT anchored near a reef.

A MAN and a WOMAN, both very attractive, dive overboard and start swimming along the reef. They come across a sunken pirate ship and dive down to investigate.

CUT TO: INTERIOR SUNKEN PIRATE SHIP. Darkness is broken by a ray of filtered light as man and woman break into the ship. They swim into the bowels and find some CLOSED PIRATE CHESTS, clearly filled with booty. A MENACING SHARK swims by. The man and woman are enthralled by the booty and do not notice the shark.

Suddenly, a NOBLE DOLPHIN rams into the shark, stunning it. Then the dolphin flicks his tail onto an OLD PIRATE MUSKET lying in the ship's hold. The musket inexplicably fires, killing the dolphin. The man and woman gasp, then hug the dolphin.

CUT TO: OCEAN'S SURFACE. Man, woman, and dolphin lift the treasure chests to the surface and back to the boat. The dolphin tears off the locks with his POWERFUL JAWS. Treasure chests open, revealing BOTTLES OF SPORKLE. Special effect SPARKLES and RAYS emanate from the meaty beverage.

VOICE-OVER: You'll really snorkle for sporkle!

FADE TO: Sporkle logo superimposed over a bottle of Sporkle. Surgeon General's warning about trichonysis appears in tiny, unreadable font on bottom of screen.

Sorry for being pedantic, but

If the dolphin dies, how does it use it's powerful jaws to tear off the locks?

Oops. Drinking too much Sporkle gave me a brain fart. The shark was supposed to die.

So, did anyone else notice all the subliminal action in the first frame of today's strip?

I'm having a sudden urge to roll around in muck...

Sporkle: It's Trichanosisliscious!

And as far as your Battalion goes, you know it's only a matter of time before some poor FNG gets nicknamed Sporkle :)

No.

Fnord. There is no subliminal action. You are not discontent. Fnord.

Actually, they're fine with their motto.

It's a new giant head they really need.

I looked at the first frame again and want to roll in muck too.
It also helps if you have a GIF Animation program to see the subliminal action if you miss it. Jon's getting really sneaky.
