Yecch.  Is that the image we want to project?  I don't know
about you, but I have no intention of taking over anyone.

We are already assimilated - at least those of us who've been on for more than
a year or so.

        But no, I don't think we want to project that either.

I dunno, personally, I like it.
But drop "the Final Frontier"  More like:
"We are GREX.  You WILL be assimilated.  grex.cyberspace.org"
(Also, too much on a bumper sticker and it defeats the purpose.  We're talking
something that has to be read at a distance of 20 feet at 70 mph.)

How about:
"Reward your modem with a hearty bowl of GREX."
"If it isn't GREX, it isn't telnetting."
"Friends don't let friends GREX drunk."
"GREXer on Board!"    (<-- when all else fails, revive annoying 80s
catchphrases!)
"Help!  I've GREXed and I can't disconnect!"  (<-- ditto)
"GREX?  Why, I hardly know you."
(all with grex.cyberspace.org in smaller print centered and at the bottom)

But why stop at the 80's?

        Have a nice Grex!

Also:

        Honk if you love Grex!
        Grex doesn't flame people, people flame people!

So we're reaching back back back for catchphrases, Rob?  Beat this for old:

Do you like GREXing?
I don't know, you silly boy, I've never GREXed.

You're gonna *hate* the movie this year, then, jenna.

OK, brighn, I'll give it a shot:

        The Internet's
        A giant place
        Where can you find
        A friendly face?
        GREX

That should be cross-posted to Poetry, Rob, but Burma Shave isn't as old as
the "Kipling" joke.  =P

GREX wants *YOU*!      =}
GREX:  Whiter teeth, *and* fresh breath.

All right, plenty of suggestions, but my fave I think is still the
oh-so-obvious-but-still-cute "The Joy of Grex" (someone else's suggestion)

Well, I would write a sonnet about Grex, but it wouldn't fit
on a bumper sticker.  For a form that's much older than Kipling,
let's try:

        cyberspace dot org,
        Virtual community.
        We are not M-Net.

        Call Grex from your home,
        but let the computer dial
        Or your ears will hurt.

        Our ceiling is low
        And our system is quite slow
        But call anyway.

        When you're at the prompt
        "Respond, pass, forget, or quit"
        You are in control.
