CalMeachem - please explain your sig?

It has the feel of a pun, a very techie pun - please explain?

Thanks.

My guess

Argon is a noble gas. I is the symbol for the Ionization Potential. Ar is the chemical symbol for argon.

Better guess.

Wish I’d never investigated. I have signatures off by default for this very reason. :wink:

jjimm has it nailed.

Are you saying you have sigs off because of me? Or because of puns like this? or What?

It’d be nice to know I altered someone’s behavior patterns.

By the way, read the Eye of Argon, by all means. Read the original verrsion first, prefereably out loud in the company of friends. Try to do it without laughing.
Then read the MST3K’ed version. It’s a hoot!
And I see they finally, actually, published it professionally, in a bound cover and all. But I’ll bet it still doesn’t have the illustratyions. I’m dying to see those.

Everytime I surf the Dope I learn something new - often bizarre, but learning is learning. Thanks!

I have to confess I never saw your sig before this post. As for not liking them: all of it, really. Good jokes/wisdom/bad puns/stupidity/glurge/whatever. Don’t mind such things on a one one-off basis, but seeing the same thing over and over again gets on my nerves, and IMO detracts from the content of people’s posts.

I apologise for being such a curmudgeon.

I’m afraid you can’t claim credit for influencing me in this regard. However, you did once educate me on 19th century French gustatory habits regarding the possible consumption of avian excrement in stews, of which fact you can indeed be proud.

You’re welcome. I’l take what I can get.
