Everytime I read a post with a signature which contains someone’s quote about the poster or that person talking about themselves in the third person I have to laugh. Hey look- I am important- someone I barely know liked something I said.
Jeese, come on already how desperate for validation are some of you? While I am not flaming anyone (honest) if this is what floats your boat, who is really harmed? Still its kind of silly behavior if you think about it.
example: random person posts (tongue in cheek probably): elf6c you have the wisdom of Solomon, and the wit of the Algonquin round table, and the endowment of a porn star- I worship the very ground you tread upon.
I of course, sensing that my existance has finally been validated by a person I don’t even really know, place said quote into a signature, ensuring that future generations will see this quote taken out of context and place greater weight to my opinion on why this week’s Buffy episode was pretty week or what the best song written about cars is.
Of course I am just some random :wally so what do I know?
Feel free to quote me on any of the following.
“I think it’s assured that Your Name Here is one of the posters on this message board.”
“I feel that no higher praise can be given Your Name Here than that which (he/she) has earned.”
“Your Name Here posts with the shining wit of a greater quality than a mere shiny rock.”
“Your Name Here cannot be beat! Or, at least, not without breaking certain statutes, most notably Assault and Battery.”
“Your Name Here is exactly everything I’d want to be, assuming I wanted to be exactly like (him/her).”
“Your Name Here is far wittier and more intelligent than several people I’d prefer not to name. Probably better looking, too.”
Please keep all sigs to four lines or less, however.
Your welcome, hon…but to tell the truth, I had inadvertenly set my CP so that I couldn’t see anyone’s signature. So I didn’t see that you already had your validation, and missed your joke. Oh well, I really do think you’re reasonably bodacious.
Hey… is that some kind of subtle insult about my penis?*
And since Ferrous wouldn’t come through for you, here’s one you can use: scout1222, you are the reason I didn’t become a eunuch when I had the chance.
*see sig
PS. And elf6c, not that I’m trying to hijack the thread or anything, but since you kinda brought up the subject of silly posting behavior, what’s the point of signing your post “-me”? Not ripping on you or flaming you or anything, but that seems a little pointless to me. Obviously you wrote your post, that’s why your username is there at the lefthand side of it.
Looks like someone is making a helluva lot of assumptions. I quote two people in my sig… one of them because I respect him, and think he is an intelligent and amusing individual. The other is Thinksnow.
