“Rainbow” and “Curtains” would be okay if this blog was geared toward flamboyant interior decorators and/or male hairdressers.
I like “Whipped” soley on the basis of the fact that it’s closest to the current design. However, there’s a weird kind S&M thing going on there.
“Mountaineer” is simply a big ol’ sign saying, “I’ve got a hot girlfriend.” Sure, the T-shirt babe is hot. Granted. However, hot girls become LESS hot once thir boyfriends have to advertize their girlfriend’s hotness. Thus, the “Mountaineer” banner does no one any good.
I like things the way they are. I’ve been liking things the way they are since the 1950’s, and if anyone had been listening to me since THEN, we’d be driving around in mighty cars and drinking Coca-Cola out of green glass bottles RIGHT NOW.
Not a bad setup if you ask me.
Ok, so I have been a fan of the site for a while now…and you will all HATE me for this later. (I promise to dig a hole and live in that for a while as to not show my disgraceful face to the general populatio) BUT, can I ask what IMAO stands for?
Don’t you think the “Rainbow” one is, well, kind of gay? Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
The “Whipped” one sure fits some of the commenters! But Frank? snort
And what Ry said about “Mountaineer IMAO.”
But “Curtains” is purrrfect! Only the bebe looks like she’s fixin’ to pounce on some tasty little grey morsel…. ooooooo nooooooooooo!

…can I ask what IMAO stands for?
Actually, Frank J. answered that very question on November 22, 2004. Here’s the link: http://www.imao.us/archives/002377.html
I hope I’ve not said too much.
BTW, we WERE asked to guest blog. We just didn’t get email invites. Maybe its Frank’s way of finding out who reads his blog.
I like the cat version. A domesticated Frank is a funny Frank.
This year just ending – which the all-too-seismically-aware Chinese will remind us has been that of the Monkey, and so generally much prone to terrestrial mischief – has seen killer earthquakes in Morocco in February and Japan’s main island of Honshu in October. The Japan temblor left us with one widely published image – of a bullet-train, derailed and lying on its side – that was, in its own way, an augury of a very considerable power: no such locomotive had ever been brought low before, and the Japanese were properly vexed by its melancholy symbolism.
Go with the mix of IMAO and MM’s logos, but dear god, drop the Unavailable. Unfair. Unbalanced. Unmedicated is just too good to give up. Particularly for something as “cutsey” as Unavailable.
While I think that “Whipped” is probably the most accurate (that is why Frank J is currently “unavailable” isn’t it?) I voted for “Curtains” because it is the most insulting. And if I can’t be insulting, why, I would just as soon … I don’t know… I’ve never contemplated life with out sarcasm and insults. Too horrible to imagine.
Frank is dead! I lured him into my trap with SarahK, tortured him and stole the secret to IMAO. I’m gonna take out all of you pajamahedeen bloggers one by one. Mwah-hah-hah-ha-ha-ha …
umm they all blow monkey chunks..
leave good enough alone
Oh wait its a joke. I get jokes.
There are far to many Joshes that post, must change to more specific name.
I definatly think you shuld keep the old one & not change it from umnedicated. Also I am a tard and dont get the idea that teh real Frank J. didnt post this & that the logo isnt rilly goner change. GO PACKERS!
They all suck. They all really, really suck. I can’t decide if you’re off the meds or are on the meds. Either way, all of the new logos just absolutely really suck hard.
I think your current logo and tag line are superior to any of the new options. The first two look like the work of Log Cabin Democrats (the boys across the aisle from the Log Cabin Republicans). Has your site been infiltrated?
Marketing advice: Not all of your market will enjoy signs of gloating…mountaineer musings ironically(?) has phallic desert towers in it, nor will all enjoy this latest foray into self-deprecating whip-itude. All of us will enjoy more In my World etc… Dance with the stuff that brung ya…unless Sarah K has a semi-evil twin, the rest of us are probably just envious…not what we came for at 2.euuh…46 a.m., or any other time of the day. Crap I’m out of ammo too.
I agree on the “whipped” one. The mountaineer had promise but if unavailability is the issue – picture, instead of mountains, a shot from the cratered surface of the moon with the earth being nuked in the background.
A twist on the long running banner and a sure signal that nothing short of a nuclear holocaust (or possibly a Caribbean vacation) could tear you away from your readers.
First! but i know it’s the imposter, so Frank J. won’t be mad
Wow. Congrats, those are all unbelievably hideous 🙂
I never claimed to be Frank J. 🙂
And even worse, I wasn’t even asked to guest blog–but Frank is somewhere in Mississippi about now, so :p
they’re all pretty damn bad
Those are all great, but to me the “Curtains” one is the best.

Melissa… if we tell you, we’d have to kill you. (Frank’s rules)

Sorry man but they’re all kinda ugly. :/
So what’s the name of the ex-stray cat?
Mountaineer is only winning because Republicans stacked the polls! 😉
unavailable for comment
I prefer the Mountaineer one because of the subtle look of the nuking of the moon. The Bondage IMAO one is like… yeah…
Mountaineer.
That last one is cool! It has an eerie, sci-fi, post-nuclear holocaust look to it. Almost as if we nuked the earth and then moved on to the moon!
Oh, and by the way … many congrats to Frank and Sarah on the big move! You guys deserve it!
What happened to unmedicated? That’s funnier than unavailable.
Haha what the hell, I didn’t know you gun toting republicans even knew how to use computers.
Good entertainment, though!
i agree with Eded.
Hot Dog.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
BTW, we WERE asked to guest blog. We just didn’t get email invites. Maybe its Frank’s way of finding out who reads his blog.

The Tsunami was all the monkeys’ fault!
None of these proposals are an improvement on the existing. It ain’t broke. Don’t break it by trying to fix it.
keep the old one
Go with the mix of IMAO and MM’s logos, but dear god, drop the Unavailable. Unfair. Unbalanced. Unmedicated is just too good to give up. Particularly for something as “cutsey” as Unavailable.
While I think that “Whipped” is probably the most accurate (that is why Frank J is currently “unavailable” isn’t it?) I voted for “Curtains” because it is the most insulting.

A lot of people seem to be not getting the fact that Frank J is not Frank J.
Not to telegraph the jokes, but go to:
http://www.mountaineermusings.com
and then to
http://www.mountaineermusing.com
Maybe that’ll clue y’all in.
I was thinking something more pink.
Just a suggestion.
Frank is whipped! hehehe
Frank is dead! I lured him into my trap with SarahK, tortured him and stole the secret to IMAO. I’m gonna take out all of you pajamahedeen bloggers one by one. Mwah-hah-hah-ha-ha-ha …
What about “Wiseass. Womanized. Whipped.”
???
Don’t kick a sleeping dog. I like the original. Yer pal Bullseye.
umm they all blow monkey chunks..
leave good enough alone
Oh wait its a joke. I get jokes.
There are far to many Joshes that post, must change to more specific name.
I kinda like the whips and ball and chain one… then again I’m just that kind of guy I guess…..
What?
I like the Mountaineer one…it has an ominous dead hippie appeal to it
Frank, keep the one you have, don’t change it. Also, unmedicated is way funnier than unavailable.
I definatly think you shuld keep the old one & not change it from umnedicated. Also I am a tard and dont get the idea that teh real Frank J. didnt post this & that the logo isnt rilly goner change. GO PACKERS!
They all suck. They all really, really suck. I can’t decide if you’re off the meds or are on the meds. Either way, all of the new logos just absolutely really suck hard.
I like the cat one.
But I’m afraid of any Carnival of the Cats that you’d host.
“Karnival of the Killer Kitties”
Oops, better think of a better acronym…
I think your current logo and tag line are superior to any of the new options. The first two look like the work of Log Cabin Democrats (the boys across the aisle from the Log Cabin Republicans). Has your site been infiltrated?
Damn! Those were funny!
In the poll whipped has a mandate of 53%

OMG, they’re hideous!
You know, comment spam is the devil.
And the whipped banner because it is the most accurate!
whipped is ok but i think they all stink and you should give more choices
Gotta agree with a bunch of your posters. Keep the “unmedicated” and ditch the “unavailable”.
I’m confused…where is the one with the puppies and the blender?
I agree on the “whipped” one. The mountaineer had promise but if unavailability is the issue – picture, instead of mountains, a shot from the cratered surface of the moon with the earth being nuked in the background.

After skimming through dd’s suggestion I was left wondering….Missy Elliott nude pictures? Was Whoopi Goldberg not available?
