<<Wisconsin's new state slogan is already inspiring something, but it's not exactly unanimous praise.

Gov. Jim Doyle said Monday the state will use "Live like you mean it" to promote Wisconsin as a tourism and business destination, replacing the slogan "Life's So Good."

But motivational speakers, authors and even wine and spirit maker Bacardi have already used the phrase in marketing campaigns. Some critics who aren't thrilled the state is adopting their slogan may oppose its attempt to get federal trademark protections on it or even take legal action.>>

1. The smart ass in can't resist:

Dance like you've never been hurt
Work like no one is watching
Love like you don't need the money

[no name no slogan]

2. "Get drunk and break shit" is much more appropriate for Wisconsin

3. +1

:thumbsup: lol

[no name no slogan]

4. I should probably also include "fry up some cheese and die of a heart attack" too

but that won't fit on a license plate. :(

[geardaddy]

10. Yeah

But it'd fit on the welcome sign.

18. I'll give 'em credit-- at least it wasn't "The Brainpower State"

I don't know if you're old enough to remember that one, but Gov. Rudy Perpich had a sign erected on westbound I-94, just across the river form Hudson, WI, that said "WELCOME TO MINNESOTA-- THE BRAINPOWER STATE". Rudy was a good guy, but that sign was a genuine "dude, WTF?" moment.

20. I am old enough to remember Rudy

but I don't remember the sign. I was living away from Minnesota during the mid-to-late 80s. That is definitely a "dude, WTF?" moment.

5. I thought "Eat more cheese" or "Drink Point Amber"

As an aside, I'd like to thank Wisconsin for their many fine beers and Usingers Bratwurst

6. better than that "smell our dairy air" slogan

[no name no slogan]

9. Some men like the fog in Belfast, but I much prefer the Londonderry Air

7. How about "drink 'til you're stupid"

Which for most of the state means 1/2 a beer.

:hide:

12. How about "Drive Like You've Got Some Friggin Place To Be" ?

Speaking as an F.I.B. who dreads getting stuck behind Wisconsin drivers... :-)

[geardaddy]

13. F.I.B.

I forgot about that one.

21. Personally, I think we should just

make 'F**k 'em Bucky' official.... I mean, hell, the UW already has shirts and bumper stickers with that slogan (and a matching visual) just produce a few more of each.
