OK. I've been here for about 6 months now (I mean registered on the SDMB, not sitting at my computer). Everyone has a funny/cute/inspiring sig quote (OK, so maybe inspiring is pushing it). Everyone, that is, 'cept me

I've thought of the odd Simpsons quote, movie quote, song lyric, but that's been done enough already and most of the good ones are taken.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Help me find a sig.

What do you get out of the deal? Several things:

1) My everlasting gratitude. There is no finer prize
2) A reference in the sig line that will ensure your name is
all over the board. OK, that would probably be more of an
incentive if I posted more, but I'm working on it.
3) A fair share (.01-.02%) of the profits should my new sig line become a national catch phrase that is merchandised
on t-shirts, bumper stickers, or George Foreman kitchen
appliances.


Have at it.

How about:

What, you were expecting something witty?

No signature this time! Play again!

This signature intentionally left blank.

If you want a dog, ask first for a pony.

This post has been sponsored by the letters N and S, and the number 5, as well as the generous donations of viewers like you.

All misplelings are intentional.

Brevity is the soul of wit, so I'll shut up now.

May I suggest something simple yet profound:

"You can't get there from here."











OK, not that profound, but some bozo woke me twice in the middle of the night dialing a wrong number, so get off my case!!



Hey - that would make a good one too!!

On an aside note, is there a way to check if a sig is already in use by someone else? Would a normal search do the job?

Jk1245 is my favorite poster! He/she is much smarter than the average poster and much better looking to boot! The boards are so much the better since he/she came along. And NO, this is not my unabashed attempt to see my name in a sig! - SPRITLE That's right, SPRITLE

I am jk1245. Give me any two letters or any two numbers and I can put them in ascending order.

"WHAT THE HELL!! Go ahead and put ALL your eggs in ONE basket!"

"Why is the Alphabet in THAT order? Is it because of that song?"

"If one's home is one's castle, is the home office the dungeon?"

My personal favorite:

"I'm a vegetarian, not because I love animals, but because I HATE plants!"

"I've used up all of my sick days, so now I'm calling in dead!"

"I may be weird, but in THIS town, who's to notice?"

"I have seen the future.... and it AIN'T in this loser town!"

"You call me a freak, like that's a BAD thing!"

What do you mean, duplicate sigs?

Anti Pro, we have the same taste in quotes! I've been using this sig line in my emails for several months, and a few times on this board too. Great Minds
