slogan needed
I m designing a sticker for my laptop. My goal is to let the world know I m using linux. Tux is of course our powerful symbol.
Please give me suggestions for a slogan to go with Tux. Could be professional ("Linux, the professional OS") or a twist on other slogans (think free; powered by linux; penguin inside etc) or elitist (citius, altius, fortius) or nerdy, or funny (break things, for the hell of it), or cryptic (use debian or die; sid made me do it, etc). Linux, and fish! is funny too, right?
Please give me your ideas!

Re: slogan needed
Oh I wouldn't use "professional" in the Linux context, as it is far from being professional ;) "Powered by..." stuff is an old bone... "I came, I saw, I burned to a crisp" sounds reasonable. "It's roasted" only if you use BBQ ;) "I can has boner" maybe? kidding...
"Built on guano" <- yeah, that's it.

how's about 'Use Linux: Feel Superior' :)
All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.

Re: slogan needed
I like the "unappropriate" suggestions. Like Break it; Built on Guano and so on. I also like the suckless/ Mutt-style slogans: All mail clients suck, Mutt sucks less. Insider jokes are nice too: The Red Pill; Version 13.37.
"Why fly when you can swim?"
Perhaps I will choose one of the immortal "All your base" quotes. You know the famous conversation:
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: Main screen turn on.
CATS: All your base are belong to us.
CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time.
Captain: Move 'ZIG'.
Captain: For great justice.
Anyway, thanks & keep 'em coming. I either pick one of the suggestions or let me at least be inspired by them. I'll post the final slogan + sticker design when I have it.

Re: slogan needed
OK, I've been inspired by the suggestions. And I've even been playing with GIMP, but Im not very handy with it - I'll try later with Inkscape, which is easier, if I remember right (used it some years ago). I'll post it later (have a hell of a busy week first, you know, work and so)
I have a few nice slogans now.
Linux - Breaking your Systems, since 1991
Linux - Built on Guano
Linux - Uncool since 1991
Linux - Suchtgefahr! (German for "Danger of Addiction")
Linux - Move ZIG
Linux - Not Recommended
Linux - For Great Justice!
Linux - Beyon Cool
Linux - Fly like a fish, swim like a bird

@pensigobbler: "A well hung OS" ;-)
Nah, I'll stick to the reasons I use Linux. Which is
1. Lazyness. I am too lazy to jump through all the hoops and WTFs of proprietary operating systems.
2. Freedom.
3. Quality (this is partly already in 1.)
4. Different.
Linux - Be Lazy like a Pro
Il'' quit now

Hey gang, been away for a while so I'm late to this party.
How about a picture of Nixie Pixel, along with her trademark phrase "Talk nerdy to me"?
