Nicknames for Little Rock

As you may know, the rocket scientists who run things down a LR City Hall have hired, at considerable expense, a "branding consultant" to come up with a new ad slogan. It turns out that many local residents are very creative and have come up with a few of their own. Please feel free to add your own in the "Comments" area. Here is a sampling of what I have received so far.

LITTLE ROCK:
"Come See the Sight!"
"A Totally NEW Place to Sit"
"Putting the 'Rock' in 'CROCK'!
"Same Location Since 1836"
"What Happens Here, Winds Up on the Internet"
"Rock, Roll, and Rot!!"
"Get Your Rock-Off!"
"Where the Future Meets the Past, and Stays There"
"Bubbatown, USA"
"Put US in Your Pipe and Smoke It"!
"Our Name Says It All"
"Better Than Newark!"
"Clean-Up on Aisle 13"
"The Great American "TOOL-Shed"
"Blow Like a Force-5"
"Home of 'Sinus-Fest'"
"Come Step in It!"
"2005 Any-Port-in-a-Storm Award"
"Mudflap Capitol of the South"
"You Can't Leave Unless You Come Here First!"
"A Tomb With a View"
"The Heart of Dix"
"on Your Way to Somewhere Else!"
"There's Something in the Air! (But You'll Get Used to It!!)
"Culture with a Capital "K".
"Abandon Hope, Ye Who Enter Here"
"Arts, Farts, and Wal-Marts"
"Sun, Fun, and Shinola"


If those didn't do anything for you, another troubled individual has further suggestions.

"Where Excitement Goes to Die"
"You Can Smell it All from Here!"
"Where The Fun Never Starts"
"All F***ed-Up and No Where to GO!"
"A Scheme Come True"

"Clueless, and It Shows!"
"Allright, If You're White!"
"Thank God for Pine Bluff"
"Where You're Always Somebody's Brother-in-Law"
"Top Twenty Mean, and Lovin' It!"
"I'm BONED on Little Rock"
"We Got Us a Lybarry!"
"The New South for Old People"
"Oh NO-YOU-DIDN'T!!"
"Ya Want Weed With That?"
"Big City Fun, Small-Town Ennui" "We've-Come-So-Far-from-1957-Really-I-Swear-It's-True-No-Shit"
"You Died and Went to Hell"
"Spend a Month with Us, all in One Day!"
"Free Directions Back to the Freeway!!"
"The Vanguard of the Twentieth Century!!"
"PLEASE, PLEEEEEZE, BRING MONEY"
