Back... . "Sucks to be you"

 

[Blu-meanie]

There is a saying the diesel submarine boat sailors have: DBF (Diesel Boats Forever)



Maybe: DTF (diesel trucks forever)

 

[Bessler]

Two things in Life you live, you Die, in between you drive Diesel!

If Diesel..... Diesel

If no Diesel..... No Diesel

Checking In

I just found a few minutes to check in on this thread.



Entries are great. Keep 'em coming.



Geno's has no intention of fighting Dieselsite on this. It would be a waste of money and time, and it would create irreparable ill will. Everyone loves to watch a train wreck (we like to say), and I'd describe this situation as a train wreck. It gives us all something to talk about other than each other (snicker).



Just to be clear, Dieselsite never told Geno's they could not use the phrase. In fact they encourage the use of the phrase. But here is the catch. They require that any time it is used in the future, "Registered Trademark of Dieselsite" must be printed below the phrase. That is simple protection of their trademark. But Geno's feels that is kind of like requiring Target to print the Walmart logo just below their name. What is legal is not always palatable.



Geno's will spend the money they could have spent fighting this on creating a new, fresh shirt. As with anything, people can get bored with the same old thing. This causes Geno's to try something different.



Keep those posts coming.

Go Surfbeetle

I've been watching this thread waiting for the right inspiration to hit me. I can't think of anything to top Surfbeetles' entry, post number 69. In integrating his catchphrase into the existing TDR badge I think he just nailed it. Just my 2 cents worth.

My contributions:



Diesel-

It just doesn't

get any better!







Diesel-

compression

motion-lotion!



Keep up the good work, everyone. I think the latter one may date me, I haven't heard anyone refer to motion-lotion for a long time. Gary

Thanks Gene. Of course I think that the letters should match the existing style, but I don't have that style on my computer.
