[net.misc] Netnews slogan

wales@ucla-cs.UUCP (09/28/84)

Forgive me if this one was posted once long ago, but when I finished
reading backlogged news after coming back from a five-day vacation, I
thought of the following takeoff from an old Alka-Seltzer commercial:

USENET:  I can't believe I read the WHO-O-O-OLE THING!!

I think I've finally found the right Usenet Slogan.  With apologies to
spaf, chuq, and pooh, who've seen it....






















	USENET --- the final frontier....

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?

I can't resist adding to the noise ...

In the vein of "a million monkeys on a million typewriters
will eventually produce Shakespeare's works", I propose a
Usenet slogan of

	"a million monkeys on a million typewriters
	will immediately produce Usenet".


Or how about "Usenet: it's not a job, it's not an
adventure, it's 77 million articles a month".

How about this:

	USENET --- never have so many said so much about so little.
