iPod Engraving Suggestions?

Planning on buying an iPod, but not really sure what I want to engrave on the back of it?

Some ideas:

All work and no play makes Chris a very dull boy

To Chris: Thanks for the iMac idea. - Steve

WARNING: Can kill your social life

Does anyone else have some funny engraving ideas?

I don’t have any suggestions at this time, but try to keep them clean – I’ve seen some get rejected.

I believe that many of written about this before, but a few have gotten theirs turned down for various reasons. Profanity, and Microsoft bashing to name a few.

“I am not a pirate.”

Something off the wall that has nothing to do with an ipod. for example

“Weasels hate beets.”

What? huh? Exactly.

Don’t come up with anything too witty. Apple might swipe it for their next ad campaign.

“I think therefore I download”
and

Chris’s gravatar Chris United States

I was also thinking about some music-related quotes:

“Where words fail, music speaks.”

“Without music, life is a journey through a desert.”

“Music is the universal language of mankind.”
Russ’s gravatar Russ United States

“My parents went to the Mac Expo, and all I got was this lousy iPod”
Chris’s gravatar Chris United States

That last one was funny, but unfortunately it’s too long.

I was this close to buying an iPod today, but I think I’m going to hold off a bit longer. I need to spend some money on my car. It’s not running right. Hopefully it won’t cost me an arm and a leg to fix.

My friend was asking me about what to engrave on his iPod and I googled it and came across your site.

I don’t know, but I like your journal.
Chris’s gravatar Chris United States

I ended up getting “Music is the universal language of mankind” on my iPod. It’s appropriate and won’t get old after a while.

Thanks for the compliment on the site.

there were some really funny ones, personally i liked:

or

“can’t touch this”

to personally put on my ipod touch that im going to get soon.

i thought of this, you guys may like it:
