I am tired of mine. It has been a while since I have heard a good line that made me laugh enough to make it my sig. Heck, I am rotating a Simpsons line that I used early on in my career on this board. I like the line, but once I have to rely on an old line, I seriously need help. So, it is your job (yes, you. Reading this right now) to come up with a suitable sigline for me. I don’t have many rules. It can be made up, it can be from television, etc. If it contains the word “felch” I won’t use it, so unfortunately, it seems that Coldfire is eliminated from this little competition. No real prizes, other than knowing that you would be easily identifiable as being better than every other person on this board. ---

**Mull** : There’s a line from a Heinliein novel that I used for about 15 minutes. It’s great if you are one of those people (like me) that only throw a sig line in to make a point.

Extra point to anyone who knows where I got this from. “You can throw a porcupine in a barn and set it on fire, but it’s not going to come out smelling like licorice.” I think that speaks for itself, don’t you? ---

This is a test of the Emergency Sig System. If this had been a real sig line, I would’ve thought of it myself instead of mooching off the imaginations of other, more creative posters. Intended fully in jest, of course. You know I think you’re King Shit, Mull. ---

Thanks Flyp, you’re pretty regal yourself. I plan to let this run for a little while, just to see what kind of interest we can spark. I figure if Wally got to create siglines for everyone, I could have everyone create one for me. Sort of a reversal of the odds. ---

Mully, "Well, shut my mouth. It’s also illegal to put SqrlCub down my pants for the purpose of delight, well at least in (insert number of states where sodomy is illegal)states. — Chief Wiggum. Let’s see, that one is really just a play on your old one which you said is getting a little moldy for your tastes. How about, “Sliced White Bread. It’s the best invention since…well, ever.” Or here is one that my friend Pooh said to some big gangsta looking guys on the streets of NYC when we were getting ice cream. They asked us if they cut in front of us and he said, “Bitch, if you would have done that I would have cut you.” Too funny. Or here is the best one, “\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, sig line by the Teeming Millions.” HUGS! Sqrl ---

“Get busy living or get busy dying; that’s goddamn right.” “You do drugs, Danny?” “Everyday” “Good” “Total protonic reversal” (see my sig :)) “Do you _own_ rubber glove?” “I lease, with an option to buy” “Can I borrow your towel? My car just hit a water buffalo.” “You ordered food _here_?” “I knew this is where my mouth would be.” “Isn’t Babar the name of a children’s elephant book?” “I don’t know, I don’t have any.” “Children?” “No, elephant books.” Hell, Fletch is full of sig lines. ---

There’s a line I’ve always wanted to use on a radio call-in show, but it might work on a message board with a little modification. “Hi, there’s something I’d like to contribute on this topic, but first I wanted to say that I’m a long time poster, first time reader.” Hmm, I don’t know, I think “Larry, I’m a long time caller, first timer listener” has more of a ring to it, but c’est la vie. ---

My father had this book called “The cynicsts dictionary” full of smartass comments and quotes and would make a goldmine for anyone wanting a sigline. Ofcourse he throwed it away when he moved so I can’t use it. I do remember one line though: > [@](#): > > A cynicsts is someone who when he smells flowers looks around to find the funeral ---
