I wouldn't mind a slogan which is about pirates, ninjas, and faeries, but I'd be glad enough for any one or two of the three.

So far, on the faerie front, I've got "Powered by pixie dust" and "Flap if you believe in faeries" (thanks, [livejournal.com profile] wolfdancer). I'm planning on adding a bunch of Labyrinth quotes, and anything I can find about the wonderfulness of imagination. Any other suggestions?

I'm bringing "Deadly ninja throwing button" and "Harmless ninja throwing button" out of back stock, and possibly "Middle-aged mutant ninja mother". I've got NINJA on black, with the letters just half-outlined in white.

For the pirates, I've got "Why are pirate jokes funny? They just ARRRRR" and "We prefer to be called Buccaneer-Americans".

I have always been fond of the symbolism of this:

π@

you need to remember that @ is actually the 'rate' symbol in typography; as in 'at the *rate*' of. The simple 'at' of email is slang. So π@ = "pi rate".

It's very geeky. (it will also handily fit on a tiny button).

OK, and a joke that only works written down but relies on you knowing the pronunciation too, but too long for a badge:

Q. Why did the lesbian fomorian cross the road?

A. To get to the other sidhe.

Thank you, especially for "Touchy Seelie", and I'm reminded of "Sidhe who must be obeyed". I wonder if people would like "Seelie Mortal".

Alternatively since I don't know that very many people know that @ is pronounced "rate": ΠRRRR@

I recently saw this on a T-shirt: "Have you flogged your crew today?"

"Teind Selection Officer. Annoy at your peril."

If you're doing "Seelie mortal" maybe you should have "Unseelie mortal" too.

An OT (as they say) idea: "Hello. My name is Harry Potter. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

YES! And of course there's always the "Ninjas do it stealthfully" and pirates...well, how DO pirates do it anyway? Or fairies, for that matter? (I'm probably treading on dangerous ground here...).

I suppose "Faerie ninja pirate" would be too obvious?

H'mmm.

It is, it is, a glorious thing/to be a faerie king

(ditto "ninja king")

Faeries do it in rings.

I am the Dread Pirate Featherwing.
There will be no survivors.

Pirates do it arrrrrtfully.

Pirates do it amidships.

Prepare to be boarded!

Shiver yer own timbers, mortal!

Do not meddle in the affairs of faeries,
for you will look good as a toadstool.

Do not meddle in the affairs of pirates.
On second thought, do!

Do not meddle in the affairs of ninjas,
for you wi

A ninja, a pirate, and a faerie
