In light of Real World events, where a certain slogan is being disastrously undermined by reality, I thought to alleviate the embarrassment of those who promulgated it by coming up with WoT equivalents:
Rand: Own Arad Domon!
Mat: Own bachelorhood!
Mat(in Hinderdstap): Own the Night!
Perrin: Own the carefree life of a blacksmith!
Faile: Own wifely obediance!
Salidar leadership: Own the puppet Amyrlin!
Loial: Own brevity, and of course a reasonable humilty in public-speaking without actually being afraid to address crowds or elders or other superiors like Aes Sedai. Oh, and Own the point!
Maseema: Own sanity!
Aram: Yeah!
Semirhage: Own the jailbreak!
Lews Therin: Own the happy ending!
Rahvin: Own the Lion Throne!
Bel'al: Own the Sword that is not a Sword!
Alviarin: Own the puppet Amyrlin...what?
Ba'althamel: Own the cojones!!
Aginor: Own the Eye of the World!
Tom Doherty: You can, too. In hardbound, paperback or more attractively-covered e-book formats!
Elayne: Own emotional control! And own utter dominance of one's warders!
Verin & Ingtar: Own getting away with being a Darkfriend!
Tomas: Say, why DID I have to take poison too, anyway?
Hopper: Own the sky!
Valda, Tarangail & Rahvin: Own Morgase!
You know, "Own the ______" seems like a rather presumptuous slogan that might require a little more effort to live up to than the people who used it were able to muster. I think we can all take a lesson from this, EH?
