CalMeacham:
“Damn You, God! Why must these Little Blue Men be the instruments of Your Glory, and not ME?”
“That’s just SMURFY, Mr. Salieri!”
— The Smurfs and The Magic Flute
(well, it wasn’t, but it shoulda been.)
I liked the one that said
Down with signature lines!
CalMeacham has had a wide range of appallingly funny sig lines. I wish I knew how he did it.
Personally, I like mine.
I was wondering if anyone got that. Or would be offended by it. You guys are too nice!
Well, not offended per se, but d’ya think I could persuade you to get rid of the spaces so your sig fits our extremely arbitrary, yet brutaly enforced “4-lines-in-a-sig-and-that’s-it”-rule? Thanks. 
I must admit, I don’t get it. I think it’s funny, but I don’t understand it. Care to enlighten me?
I laughed because Salieri was the guy who killed Mozart in the play (and movie) Amadeus. He was so jealous that he literally worked Mozart to death, IIRC, and he suffered near crippling anguish from the fact that Mozart was so good and he wasn’t. So juxtaposing his murderous jealousy/depression/rage with such a typically cheery Smurf line was too funny. As far as sig. lines go, I think it’s Smurftastic!
I may not be getting the actual joke, however. That’s been known to happen.
I have nothing to say.
The Smurfs and the Magic Flute is a real movie:
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0086326
I had read the play Amadeus and seen it twice by the time I first heard of this movie, and the lines in my sig popped into my head. The intended humor is partly Salieeri’s angst at being ignored by coupled coupled with the cutesy Smurf line, partly the clash between highbrow and lowbrow culture, and partly the fact that Mozart wrote “The Magic Flute”, of course, which sugested the whole thing in the first place.
If you get the chance, see or read the play – it’s vastly different from the movie. More “theatrical”, and you really get inside Salieri’s madness, instead of seeing it from the outside, as the film always makes me feel.
I like the one that says “God is my co-pilot, but we crashed in the Andes and I had to eat him”. Thats a poor paraphrase of it, but you know the sig I’m talking about.
I have several that I use in different places. Current fave from another message board is “Heaven doesn’t want me, and Hell is afraid I’ll take over”. For some reason, the crowd on the other board think it’s quite appropriate, but I’m sure they love me really.
My favorites are all mine. Sorry.

I have absolutely no idea what it means (and I would like to) but I particularly like Gorgon Heap’s
“The continuing stoooOOOoory of a quack whose gone to the dogs!”
It just makes me laugh for some reason. Maybe its the gooOOOOoogly oOOOoo’s
Meatros, I like your sig line, too!
That’s from the muppets and it makes me grin every single time I see it.
I’ve forgotten what mine is, but we’re about to find out.
I like mine too.
hey! where did it go? The ‘show signature’ unchecked when i went to preview, i guess.
Let’s try this again…
I quit.
