No scanner, just do mine however you like. Make it look nice. Put a smilie face at the end. With vertical dashes for the eyes, not dots. NO DOTS!

</div>

You mean our screen names? Well, I don’t have a scanner at home, but if it helps to sign mine, go ahead. You’ll have written it out before I ever did.

Go ahead and forge mine.

I don’t use cursive capital letters, but the rest is pretty normal and not girlish.

I’m game. My real handwriting is godawful, so I prefer that you forge my screen name in the style of John Hancock. Is there room in your secret project for my .sig? I’m kind of attached to it (pun most definitely intended). 😃

</div>

Why not. So long as it’s for an evil cause, go ahead and forge away. Put a little gusto in mine, if ya please…

Oh, and I want the two C’s in my name to be bigger than the rest. Much bigger. Nothing ornate, kind of how it looks but cursive.

Thanks-

</div>

You can have a Rysdad. Put a big squiggle under it like J. Hancocks’s.

(Do we have to e-mail out authorizations, or is just giving our okay here, uh, okay?)

sign me up…literally, as I have no scanner.

Very loopy, round letters, half-cursive. 🙂

</div>

I don’t have a scanner at home, so rather than wait until Monday, I used Picture Publisher to create one using my mouse. It’s not how my “real” signature would look, of course, but then again, my real signature isn’t Shayna anyway. 🙂

Can’t wait to see what evil this is for. Hehe

Go ahead and sign me up. 🙂  
This scanner just keeps the table from floating away.

OHHHHHHH

If it is secret and vague, I am SOOOOO THERE. Gotta spice up my life some how. Will men with shiny badges eventually show up at my house and ask me to look at a pen light while they slip on raybans? Will it be Tommy Lee Jones or Will Smith? Doesn’t matter…I’d do both of them. Even if they protested.

Ramble aside, Being that I have no scanner, feel free to forge away.

ok, tater, whatever you’re up to I wanna be part of. Mine’s on the way. It looks as if it was written by a twelve year old, but it’s really me … I swear…

Woo Hoo! But I need more! More, I tell you, more! As Duke said, I _am_ on the level with this, and once y’all discover what it is, I’m sure you’ll be pleased. Should be about a month, maybe a little more. 😃

Oh, and it is fine to just tell me here that you want in on the deal.

Also, **Obby** , I am not doing this to make a fake petition in my own benefit or anyone else’s.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a train to catch. All part of the plan, ya know…I’m even taking one of those high speed ICE trains, just to be more James Bondish aboutthe whole deal.
