Softly, with my song, perhaps? ---

Shut your mouth. I just did a spit take allover my screen. ---

Underneath you posted words, is a line, and below that line it says, “It’s me!” that is you sig. Which you can change in your “User CP.” up at the top on the first blue line that runs across your screen. I tried to turn mine back on, and I did a couple of times, but it’s still not showing up. Oh well, it’s late and I’m tired. I’ll deal with it tomorrow. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Dude, you’re killing me. Jesus Christ, **Beck**! How is it that we are at least 3 time-zones apart, and yet we damn near simil-post in every thread? I suggest the both of us get of our asses and go outside and get some exercise. I know I am, first thing tomorrow (around 2pm), after I check my email and change my avatar. Could take awhile. Might not make it out till 5 or so. And that’s “drinkin’ time”. So, yeah. That’ll work. ---

I am secretly following you around, looking for Twixy. Or we are both bored with nothing better to do. I , for one have no life, so there’s that. ---

Y’all are killing me. **Beck** - you need a sig. I had one, but I am completely uninspired at the moment. ---

I’m not happy with my own. It’s a really cool picture I took at a backyard fire-pit where the flames kind of look like an imp holding a pitchfork with an arrow floating over its head. At 50x50 pixels it looks like an orange booger on a specimen slide. ---

The current one is still blurry but enough to distinguish what it is. I had that Smurf when I was a kid. I think he was “Oktoberfest Smurf”. ---
