Also, the leading brand of ´lubricant´ is called Cumlauder...

Yup. "Register me" would be, if I remember correctly, "me registro".

Or "me registra" (wouldn't "me registro" be I register me?")

Si. My Spanish is rusty.

It looks like it might be reflexive.

But it means "search" rather than "register". Gmail have been cutting corners. Yes, it is reflexive.

"The pass is provided by the Order of Gum Plantation Workers"?

or

"He is prohibited to pass by order of the gum-chewers"?

i.e. Dedication by local civic organization or ominous gang graffiti?

Isn't "register me" an imperativo? Than it should be "me registre", because you address an "usted" , not a "tú" (like in French, where it is: inscrivez-moi)

ominous gang graffiti seems the more likely option. 'No entry, by order of the Chicleros', whoever they may be.

The Indians who tap the M. zapota tree for chicle are known as chicleros. This title typically denotes a devoted Indian who carefully and precisely cuts zigzag gashes in the bark of the Chicle tree with a machete. The Maya Indian chicleros can occasionally still be found tapping for chicle up to fifty feet high in the M. zapota trees. from here

nine months pass...

talking of Spanish verbs ending in -arse, I was delighted to learn just now that the Spanish for 'to exceed' is superarse.
