"ELITE 8", DAY 5

2003 CATCH PHRASE OF THE YEAR
2003 was kind of light on catch phrases. Honorable mention certainly goes to any number of various anti-war/anti-Bush/anti-Patriot Act slogans, such as "Out the door in 2004!" and "Vote the son of a Bush out!", as well as the now-infamous catastrophic culinary creation of Max and myself, the "Bacon sausage pork chop burger dog (with cheese)". But the winner got started by a former co-worker of mine, I took it and ran with it, other friends of mine picked up on it (some by incredible coinky-dink), and just a few weeks ago Royal Canadian Air Farce tipped it in for the win.
Winner: "Bodacious ta-ta's"--Emmy T. (and other various sources)
