Title: CONTEST: YOUR FAVORITE FUNNY LINE. WIN AN ADVANCE COPY OF "GOLD RUSH"!
Post by: Stef on June 12, 2012, 11:45:49 AM
Well, the books are starting to trickle in and we are getting things ready and organized for the big release. Of course, we can’t wait to give you the new book to see what you guys think about it so we thought we will raffle off two advance copies.
So here is, you’ve guessed it, another contest!
Enter by posting your favorite one-liner for the drawing of two copies of Chicken Wings 4 "Gold Rush"! Here are the rules:
Post a good one-liner (they don’t have to be “your” own quotes) RIGHT HERE, or on twitter (http://"https://twitter.com/#!/roostair"), or facebook (http://"http://www.facebook.com/groups/111395638897347/") and you will be automatically entered into the drawing for the new book. Then we will roll the dice on the guys with the funniest lines. If you submit more than just one funny line, feel free to do so, but your name will still only enter the drawing once. As an example, two of our personal favorites are:
"Dear IRS, please cancel my subscription" or "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch." By Jack Nicholson.
DEADLINE for your entries is TUESDAY next week, June 19th 2012!
As always, anonymous posts and posts in the blog underneath the daily strip will be difficult for us. We would like to be able to notify you in case you win the drawing and that’s easier from Facebook, Twitter or here in the forum. If you’re not a forum member yet, all you need to do is sign up and post one post. We will not send you any of the annoying marketing campaigns, newsletters, and such nor use your info for any third party, honestly! To receive our newsletter (which goes out about every other month or so), you can sign up here (http://"http://www.chickenwingscomics.com/?page_id=215").

I like this one because it applies to aviation a great deal:
I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted paychecks.

"As a kid, I always wanted to fly helicopters when I grew up, turns out I can't do both..."
"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a helicopter pilot to fish and he will sit on a boat and drink beer and martoonis all day..."
"Talk to three helicopter pilots about a subject and you will get four opinions..."

When life gives you lemons, make orange juice, then wonder how the heck you did it.
When life gives you lemons, find a kid with a paper cut
and for all you martoooni lovers out there,
When life gives you lemons ask for salt and tequila!

Now does anyone here remember Groucho Marx's great one-liners from the Marx Brothers movies?
"I'm of a good mind to join a Club and beat you over the head with it."
"I never forget a face, but your case I'll be glad to make an exception."
"'Sir, you try my patience.'
'Thank you! Don't mind if I do! One of these days you'll have to try my patience.'"
Some Classics...

OK time for me to drag out some film quotes from Kelly's Heroes (where I got my nickname):
"To a New Yorker like you a hero is some sort of weird sandwich not some nut who takes on three tigers!"
"Make a deal deal, maybe this guy's Republican."
"Oddball, I can't make it work without the parts no matter how positive I think!"

The absolute best one-liner I ever saw was on a bumper sticker over 20 years ago. It said:
"I think my Karma just ran over your Dogma."
Love it! >:D

"Just in time" - or "last minute" i'd like to add my three lines:
"The air is totally innocuous. The only dangerous thing at flying is the earth." Wilbur Wright, 1903
If god had wanted man to fly he would have given him more money.
Eagles may soar high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
Have fun in continuing CW! ...then we sure will have!!!
