Homer…The city that works you over!

 

I don’t see any reason to have a motto. Anything you come up with is going to sound trite or stupid or both. But for sure you should get rid of “The City that Works” It only invites ridicule. (I’m sure this Question of the Week will invite ridicule also) I feel sorry for City employees right now, who seem to be getting dumped on, with one city council member leading the fray. I am not impressed with that mentality.

 

Homer: Where the employees are sexy and they breathe…a lot!

 

The City Where Russians & Hippies first made babies together.

 

Homer Rocks!

 

Hogan Slogan –

-       City employees are of a Lower caste.

-       It’s okay to take your money up the road and shop because I don’t support employees and why should they support the locals.

Alaska, The Land of Slush!

 

Which motto – don’t know which one – The City that works? How about the City that spends zealously w/out Public Awareness – till in trouble.

 

The city that taxes!

 

Cosmic Hamlet

 

A quaint drinking village with a fishing problem

 

Hogan Slogan – Take it to the Employees

 

The city council that is overwhelmed by begging non-profits

 

the city where No two people agree on anything

 

The city that know one wants change or jobs

 

City that works! City with Fishing problems that no one can agree on.

 

The City of jerks!

 

Keep Homer Weird
