Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything
By special request of Alice: a thread for thinking up creative new catch-phrases to put on Muse‘s cover. Right now it’s “The magazine of life, the universe and pie throwing.” That’s not bad — and it’s certainly more exciting than what was there before. Can you do even better?
Date: June 18, 2007
Categories: The magazine
Hmm. Possibly. I had a good one a few minutes ago, but it’s vanished now. I’ll have to think about that (while researching Liberia!)

I wanted to try something that didn’t start out with Muse and a colon, but all i can think of to rhyme with musers is losers and boozers. Not a great start.
So, back to the old Muse:
Muse: Don’t laugh at us now, we’ll be elected to office in a few years and have control of the laws governing YOUR life! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
does that give too much away? hmm…
How about a nice cheesy one?
Muse: Your mag for magic
Muse: Your source for science
Muse: Your place for pie wars
Muse: Your journal of joy
Muse: Your periodical of perfection
Muse: Your publication from paradise
Muse: Your ticket through time
Muse: Your THESEAREWAYTOOCHEESY*SPLAT*
i’m having fun with alliteration though, always good

Muse: From the Publi-splat!-Where learning meets pie throwing

And I like all of you guys’! yay for slogan-making!

We talked about this on the thread where it first changed, but I’m too lazy to look it up.
Muse: The only magazine that really matters.
Muse: You know you want to.
Muse: Ok, maybe you don’t want to, but the HPBs will force you to read it anyway.
Muse: Chances are, you know one of us. And if you don’t join us, that person knows where you live.
Enough read-muse-or-die slogans.
Muse: The highest quality magazine for future dictators.
That didn’t really stop, did it? Someone post something non-violent, quick!

I like Ebeth’s super cheesy ones. They are excellent. And I like Muse: Who needs formal education? (without the “Read Muse” bit)

26- Actually, the only thing you spelled wrong was Miraculous.
0
0
Completely irrelevant, but I just realized Ebeth’s current name creates a paradox, because ‘Ebeth the titleless” is a title.
now, back on topic:
muse: what rocks may or may not do.
I can’t think of an others. I like the one they have now.

teehee. *feels sneaky with a titleless title*

58~ I’m not sure about Cricket, (I get just about all the mags from Carus Pub.) but Footsteps dissapeared a while ago, and Faces and Calliope have gotten bigger. In format at least. Muse is my favourite one though.
Most of these slogans only make sense to us because we’re already musers, but for newbies I really don’t think they’d get it.
I kinda like what’s on there now, Muse, the maazine of life, the universe and Pie throwing” because it is zany enough and old time musers can chortle over it, but newbies gan grasp it as well. Geez, i seem to be in the mood for long posts tonight….

Wow. All those subscriptions must cost your family hundreds of dollars a year.
By the way, Cicada is about to disappear, too.

66-I got Cricket (still do) and I liked it, I guess. Now I’m waiting at my mailbox for Muse. When I get a Cricket, I usually get it with Muse. Guess which one I pick up first.

I used to get Cricket, but my subscription expired, and due to Cricket’s steady decline in the past few years, I did not bother to renew it. Nor did my (now deceased) grandmother, from whom I got the subscription in the first place.

Interesting. What sort of decline? If the publishers are putting out a less attractive product, then readers ought to tell them for their own good.

66~ Cicada is going to disappear?!?!?! NOO!!!!!!! I was just going to start it! Why are they axing it? That’s really too bad. Oh, and I didn’t mean I got ALL the magazines. I get Muse, Cricket, Calliope, Faces, Odysey, [sp?] and Cobblestone. I am going to start Cicada too. And most likely I won’t be geting all of them anymore, my Mom and I decided that I wasn’t always reading them enough. But I’ll keep Muse!!!!!!
70~ what do you mean Cricket’s steady decline?! I still like it, true, my veiw about it has changed, I’m not reading it as a younger reader, so some of it’s stories are seming a bit pathetic to me now, but that’s not the writing, it’s my changing veiws on literature and the world in general.

I also get Dig, by the way…

Cricket is maybe running out of ideas? Also, the only times I’ve asked people if they get cricket, they either don’t know what I’m talking about or they say something about it being stupid, pathetic, lame, or dull. It’s pretty sad.

I am about to launch the great Muse campaign in [no way am I telling you the name of the town!]. We will pick slogans to put on the posters. Such as, “Do Not Anger the Hot-Pink Bunnies!” only probably not that one. Or the world domination one.

I love the one that they have now but I still horrible of thinking up new ones, but how about:
