I have an idea for a con ribbon, but I won't have the funds for it until Gallifrey.

I'm trying to think which is the most aptly silly phrase to use...

Verveces tui similes pro ientaculo mihi appositi sunt - I have jerks like you for breakfast.

Non plaudite. Modo pecuniam jacite - Don't applaud, just throw money.

Cogito, ergo sum. Cogito sumere potum alterum - I think, therefore I am. I think I'll have another drink.

although I think Hostes alienigeni me abduxerunt. Qui annus est? (I was kidnapped by aliens. What year is it?) might be both too much and not quite enough...

(You should be able to guess what this is for if you've been paying any attention in the past few weeks...)

Remembering the Gallifrey attendees, Cogito sumere potum alterum might be distinctly apposite.

True, true. And even more so for the Summerfield U. motto. ;)

Whats a con ribbon?

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

1) Take one very long piece of colored ribbon.
2) Stamp with customized motto/graphics/both in brightly-colored foils.
3) Cut so each piece of ribbon is about the width of a con badge.
4) Apply sticky-backed plastic to the top edge so it will adhere to a badge or other ribbon.
5) Disseminate at cons.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Not yet, unfortunately. (There must be pics on Flickr of people with ribbon-festooned badges from the last Gallifrey, though... some resemble Tom-scarves.)

They're just fun little things to hand out as favors. :)
