I was out hunting for new Kindle screensavers, and happened upon a few variants of "Keep Calm and Carry On", which I've attached. BTW, for those unfamiliar with the genre, see
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/1...M-and-CARRY-ON for a good overview.
My immediate thought was: is there a generator for these, like the one for
mock O'Reilly book covers? A Google search later, I found myself at
Keep-Calm-o-Matic.
My second thought was that this seems like an interesting exercise in creativity, even more challenging than haiku. Come up with a pithy six-syllable (or as near as) motivational phrase in the spirit of the original.
- "Keep Dry and Don't Get Wet" seemed a bit on-the-nose.
- "Oh God, Get It Off Me" seems contrary to the spirit of the original.
Happy Boxing Day, all.
