As mentioned in a thread a while back, my iPod was stolen from my apartment a few months back. It's long past time to buy a new one. I kind of want an engraving on the new one, with a humorous comment about theft. Maybe something along the lines of "If your name isn't Berg / This probably isn't yours" but I don't quite think that's it.

So, any suggestions?

A little too soon eh? What is the specific amount of time one should wait before a crude joke?

I saw a T-shirt on T-Shirt hell that says: "123 OUT OF 124 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AGREE: VIVA ARUBA!"

I still then

Although i loved this joke, imagine trying to get that engraved, the looks on the peoples faces at apple, or wherever they send it would be priceless.


It would be worse if you had to go into a store and get the engraving.

Actually, I don't believe anyone actually see's the engravings. I suspect that it is all automated.

They do check them to ensure that they are appropriate. I remember a story about someone wanting "Apple Sucks" or something like that and they wouldn't do it.

I'm thinking of getting "If Lost/Stolen... I'm gona kick your ***"

I think I'll just get "David's iPod please return" on the back of mine or something.

Maybe, property of David... so bugger off.

I've even thought of, "See that big guy over there? This is his iPod... you'd best not be touching"

Yep I saw a site that had a few engravings rejected. They don't tell you though , they just engraved asterics instead. Pretty much everything anti microsoft was rejected.

In my search for funny engravings I saw "10,000 more reasons to ignore your wife."

Very politically incorrect. Good work.

I don't want to get something too personal, because I'm sure at some point down the road I'm going to want to sell it and get a fresher iPod, probably a revision or two down the road.

My iPod will also be living in a RadTech sleeve, so the engraving will really only be visible to someone who takes the sleeve off, which I never do...

I heard that someone tried to get "10,000 stolen songs in my pocket" and it got rejected.

This is what's on my new 20GB iPod photo I got last week.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.
