Post Your EBMM Bumpersticker Ideas!

[Dr. Nick]

So, James (aka shamus63) and I were chatting about all things Ball and some ideas for bumperstickers started getting tossed around...here's what we have so far, but I'm sure all you literati out there can put us to shame...so let's hear 'em!

"You can't go wrong with a Ball"
"Sterling is my Co-Pilot"

...and my personal favorite, "Got Balls?"

..okay, the bossman is coming...gotta go!

Well, the one I love is the "Balls are Best" sticker....I have quite a few as Pete sent me a handful....

There are 4 on the Hummer and at truck shows, it is always the conversation piece after people get over the machine guns on the hood.....

To me, that is the best sticker......however, I like some of your ideas....

The possibilites for questionable Ball(s) jokes are endless and no doubt BP's heard every last one of 'em. You know...."I like to play with my Balls," "String 'em up by their Balls" and so forth.

How about

I Love My Balls

It's all about the Music, Man.

 

[Kevan]

YOU SHOULD SEE MY BALLS
I LOVE PLAYING MY BALLS
MY BALLS ARE SO NICE, THEY EACH COME WITH A CASE

There are about a thousand other inuendos out there.

Now THAT'S good!

I dont know if I'd put anything like that on a car. No one would think,
oh, Ernie Ball, AHHAHAH"....

 

[adouglas]

There's also the painfully obvious one that's too close to the edge to post. This is a family show, after all, and we wouldn't want to corrupt Tiffles, now, would we?



It involves:

- Steebo
- his tongue
- what he does with his tongue
- the name of the product

You guys might want to focus more on the "Musicman" concept.

Has anyone noticed the headstocks no longer say "Ernie Ball"?

+1.

Ball jokes are so...tired.

 

[bovinehost]

That's true, too.

I mean, I grew up with the name "Jack".

Driving home from baseball practice. "Hey, Dad, don't forget to let my friend JACK OFF at his house!"

Oh, hah hah hah hah hah.

Funny the first 10 million times. Not so much after that.

Jack

Both my balls are Bongos!

Even the stingrays? Or just the Bongos?

I know what'cha mean; the "Balls Are Best" sticker is on the verge of getting scraped off of the back window...

...don't really need the misinterpretation.

Come to think of it, the "Got Balls?" idea isn't setting well with me, either.

Ernie Ball = strings
Music Man = basses/guitars

That's what BP is gearing towards.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

How about simply "Welcome to the addiction"??

Make up like a few million of them and pay Koogs $0.05 royalty fees each so he can retire.

Well the 06 HH models still have Ernie Ball on them. So the bongos dont. Does that mean that only new models wont say Ernie Ball? Or will they stop putting it on every bass at some point?

Exactly. BP had posted in another thread that he wants a separation between the two entities; each one already known for their specific products. I think there were other reasons involved, but that was the main point.

 

[Figjam]

Also saying "Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray" is a mouthful.

When will this switch take place on the stingrays/sterlings?

Also, can we get a definite answer on whether MusicMan is one word or two!?
