peer agreement (net): +1Bites off more (quickly) than others can chew Explanation: Hmmm ... it'd be easier, of course, if there weren't the requisite time element. But this gets the message across of clean and quick decapitation while rival products make a time-consuming mess of things. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2006-02-24 13:46:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "The head of the screw usually completely chews out before you get the bite required to remove it." http://www.epinions.com/content_120395959940 Different tool, but one of many sites to refer to the way that screw heads chew bzw. are chewed up. |

Lean back and enjoy (your sausage) while others still lead a merry chase! Explanation: - -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-02-24 04:34:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- .... while others go on a while goose chase! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2006-02-24 17:26:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I just had an idea that might work in this case. Considering the 2 meanings of "edge", you could write: "Enjoy the EDGE while others are still going on a wild goose chase!" [n] a sharp side formed by the intersection of two surfaces of an object; "he rounded the edges of the box" [n] a slight competitive advantage; "he had an edge on the competition" |

5 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2You'll be done *where/while* others still run Explanation: Is this targeting retail or commercial/industrial markets? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 hrs (2006-02-24 21:15:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi Kim: Just saw your note. Your feedback suggests a predominantly male target group. Hands-on guys and their bosses. Non B/S approach called for? z.B. "Get(s) those awkward tasks done quicker". You buy tools, right? What would you want to read to persuade you? Happy grinding (and I'd be fascinated to see the other two headlines - they are are probably good for a grin ;-) Best, C. |
