Slogan generator

Problem
You have a great project and you need a slogan for it.

Solution
Then Sloganmaker is for you. However, it only makes one slogan at a time. I wanted to get several slogans, thus choosing the best one is easier.

For this, I made a simple Python script that uses Sloganmaker as an API (available here). It’s part of my jabbapylib library (whose new motto is: “Nail it with jabbapylib.“).

Example:

$ python slogan.py 'Jabba Laci'

Sample output:

Jabba Laci can't be hurried.
You can count on Jabba Laci.
There's a Jabba Laci in your future.
It's wonderful, it's Jabba Laci.
Jabba Laci whatever.
Jabba Laci fresh you up.
It's miracle in the rain, it's Jabba Laci.
More smiles with Jabba Laci.
The Jabba Laci effect.
Everyone should believe in Jabba Laci.
Always the right answer with Jabba Laci.

LOL :)
