MOON NUKERS: The IMAO Blogger Gang
[High Praise! to Sharky]
After carefully considering your input, I’m gonna go with Sharky’s suggestion of “Moon Nukers”.
Through all the long (nearly 10 years) history of IMAO, the Nuke the Moon logo has always been featured prominently, and best symbolizes the peace-loving nature of this site, so it seems most appropriate.
Also, it shortens down nicely to “Nukers”, which sounds pretty bad-ass in itself.
Can’t say “Nukas”, though, because that sounds kinda… fissionist.
Anyway, I whipped you up some colors so you can go around threatening rival blog gangs like the Huff Posters, Kossacks, and Puppy Blenders:
Also, a smaller version that you can put on your blog/website/Facebook page:
Various & sundry Moon Nukers gear is available at the IMAO store. Sadly, having it on the back of a leather jacket is not a CafePress option, so you’ll just have to wear your t-shirt backwards or something.
Oh, and to clarify, the Moon Nukers isn’t a “club”. It’s a gang. Clubs are for baby seals.
UPDATE: I recently realized that CafePress DOES offer a “print on the back option”, so I added some back-printed t-shirts to the Moon Nukers section (first 9 items).

The Moon Nukers Gang.
That sounds really tough.
Do we all have to have motorcycles or will beater pickup trucks suffice?

Don’t matter what your ride as long as it either burns oil or gets bad mileage.

I like it…but if I wear it to Vegas won’t some Hells Angel want to stomp my a$$?

Whadda ya mean? No “Nukas”? You stinken Regionist! Here in New England, we are Nukas! Actually, it’s “Nukahs!”
We’re the “The Wicked Pissah Band of Moon Nukahs.” And we ain’t fissionahs.
Ptoooey on Regionists.

In all fairness to Harvey, bruticus, he’s from Wisconsin which is the home America’s main dialect: Murican.

“Nukers” is racist, but “Nukas” is acceptable gang lingo.
May 10th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
Wisconsin – also home to Harley-Davidson
bruticus – Nukahs is fine. The letter “h” makes everything inoffensive. Like if you call someone a hasshole, they just giggle.
May 10th, 2012 at 2:20 pm
Yes, adding the “h” is not offensive
“Can you lend a Nukah a pencil?” “Get away from the door, Nukah.”

DG – well, using a New England accent helps.
Besides, a real Nuker wouldn’t borrow a pencil. He’d steal it. From a hippie he just punched.

History 101
With all due respect, the pilgrims did land at Plimoth and not Madison.
I believe the first words off the boat were:
“Watch that rock, Teddy.”
“Err. Umm. Someone ahh, someone should build err, a bridge. Cause ah, someone could ahh, umm, fall in and ah, drown.”
On second thought, I’m gonna start speakin Murican. Every here speaks Masshole.

Nukas is running awfully close to Nuka, ie Nuka Cola, the soft drink of the post apocalyptic future! Tread lightly around those copyright infringement rules. (Sorry, really enjoy the Fallout series…)

We should probably make Nuka-Cola our official soft drink:

Nuka-Cola: for that IMAO glow!

The Moon is T-O-A-S-T!!!!!
The Moon Nukers: Smokin’ the Moon because we can!

Well, it’s not bad, but for 2 things.
1) It can also be shortened to ‘mooners’.
2) Say if fast and people will start talking about that confounded ‘monickers’ gang. Or ‘moo-nukers’.
Either way, tragic.
If the moon gets nuked, will it rain cheese onto the earth?

[...] Moon Nukers, you’ve got your colors and you’re feeling all juiced up, so obviously it’s time to ride into someone [...]

Back when Star Wars first came out, I went and saw it at a movie theater. I loved the grand visual delight of the movie, up to the point where Luke blew up the Death Star.
The explosion was done in atmosphere, with billowing clouds. The movie was lessened for me by that technical error. And teh semi-fix in the re-release and DVD versions years later weren’t satisfying, because Han shot first, and effing mitochondrians.
After all, I had seen some years earlier than the movie the live televising of the launch from the moon of Apollo 15′s LEM, with the rocket exhaust going in straight lines out into the vacuum of space, tracing molecular vectors into infinity. THAT was how an explosion works in a vacuum, dadgumit!
So I wonder if you would consider “fixing” your Nuke the Moon logo to remove the iconic atmospheric mushroom cloud and replace it with a more accurate representation of nuking the moon – an expanding hemisphere of heated plasma and erupting moon material.
If you decide not to change a logo that has worked for you for years, I understand.
You lazy anti-science slackers.

mikee – Understood. Although I sympathize with you because physics foul-ups get under my skin, too, the atmospheric explosion was chosen because of its iconic recognizability, and we make no claims to scientific accuracy.
Consider it “artistic license in the service of making a symbolic point.”
Oh, and definitely laziness, because Google Images doesn’t have any good space-nuke pictures, and nobody at IMAO can draw for squat.
