Calling all creative types: I need a slogan

As some of you may know, MySQLTuner is one of my favorite projects. It's approaching the 1.0 release and I feel like celebrating. I thought about putting together some T-shirts (because as a nerd, I enjoy the occasional techy T-shirt), but I can't come up with a good slogan.

I've heard of some pretty hilarious slogans for database-related activities, like "DBA's know how to take dumps" and "don't overflow my buffer", but I'm trying to come up with some good ones for MySQLTuner. Whoever picks the slogan/joke that wins and goes on the shirt will get a free shirt from me. Yes, I did say free.

    MySQLTuner - DBA Tuning

    I'm a big fan of:

    MySQLTuner - ready set...GET!

    almost as important as a slogan is a MASCOT.

    my suggestion is a cartoonish, pink squealing pig. get it? a good reference point is the uber-happy dancing pig that is part of a local BBQ restaurant's logo (rhymes with Mill Biller) so...

    MySQLtuner.... "It'll make your SQL... SQUEAL!"
