At Genevra's suggestion, I'll confess my slogan during the 2nd "campaign":

RUSSIAN - IT'S NOT JUST FOR BREAKFAST ANYMORE

OK, it was weird, a bit "out there" and not terribly successful as an
attractor (no students got the reference, but lots of teachers and
administrators got a kick out of it).  It attracted a few - mostly the
students who, like many Russophiles, are a little "out there" themselves
(myself included!).  But it did bring a lot of attention to the class.

Any other suggestions out there?  Any horribly witty "pun-dits" who can do
a good play on words that we teachers can use in future "campaigns"?  For
instance....

WHERE ARE YOU *RUSSIAN* TO?  HURRY, SIGN UP FOR RUSSIAN BEFORE IT'S TOO
LATE!

[god, i'm good]

Any others?  Anyone else find success in humor when recruiting for
Russian?  I know Pitt had a dancing Boris Yeltsin one year on one of their
flyers (how I would love to get that image for my Russian homepage!).  It
was great fun!
