The “fighting ignorance” jazz is getting a bit long in the tooth.

Time to apply some internet [muscle](http://thesurrealist.co.uk/slogan.cgi?) to our problem.

Add your suggestions.

1. Because so much is riding on your Straight Dope

2. Something special in the Straight Dope

3. The best part of waking up is Straight Dope in your cup.

4. We’ll leave the Cecil Adams on for you.

**The Science Of Straight Dope**

Accurate, but hardly snazzy.

**You’ve Always Got Time For Straight Dope**

Hmm, true, and not bad, but we need something that _grips_, you know?

**Moving at the Speed of Straight Dope**

Ah, yes! 🙂

Gives you something to do while you’re at work.

Keeping disgruntled employees from mowing down their coworkers since…

Because face it…you have no life.

😕 Something seems to be amiss. But it does have potential. Let’s see…

- All your ignorance belongs to us
- All you ignorants belong to us
- All your igno-rants belong to us

**Raising IQs along with your beers, three cheers for the Straight Dope**.  
This one just sorta popped into my head.

**More info than you can echo a duck’s quack at**.

**We Don’t Make Dope. We Make Dope Better.**  
From that website in the OP.

I need another beer.

**TTT** , you apparently aren’t a big fan of the old school Sega Genesis. But, that’s why seasoned veterns like myself are here and reporting for ignorance fighting duty.

Most of the Genesis games came from Japan. They apparently hadn’t quite got the whole English thing down yet, as many of the games had horrible English translation. But the most famous line ever came from _Zero Wing_ in “All Your Base Are Belong to Us”

And thus, I vote for **kunilou**

Sorry for the hijack.
