How about a quote from Moe

“Mike Rotch, Mike Rotch, has anyone seen Mike Rotch lately?”

Here’s some I haven’t gotten around to using yet:

You know the old saying: a revolving lithic conglomerate accumulates no congeries of small, green biothitic plant substances.

“Bother,” said Pooh, “Eeyore, ready two photon torpedoes and lock phasers on the Heffalump. Piglet, meet me in transporter room three. Christopher Robin, you have the bridge.”

Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain consciousness.

“I’ve never been to New Zealand before. But one of my role models, Xena the Warrior Princess, comes from here …”  
- U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright,  
joint news conference with New Zealand Prime Minister Jenny Shipley, in Auckland

**Would you rather…**

_have a purple cloud of dust appear when you flatulate?_ OR

- have a nervous compulsion whereupon meeting the parents of a date or spouse, you say quite happily, “Hello. How are you? Give me the salmon or I will desroy you”?

be double jointed? \*  
OR  
\*have near invincibility at Connect Four?

take all your showers naked in a store front window for a month\*  
OR  
_masturbate in front of your fourth-grade teacher?_  
Okay, enough of the would-you-rathers as a sig option.  
Let me think up something that might be interesting. Or i can just pull some quotes out of my ass for ya.  
“Maybe this world is another planet’s hell.”  
- Aldous Huxley

“Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”  
- Sigmund Freud

“Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality.”  
- Jules de Gaultier

“Be alert…the world needs more lerts.”

Okay, that’s enough for now.

Keep 'em coming. I appreciate all of the suggestions so far. I am no closer to finalizing a sig, so there is still plenty of time to up that post count.

How about some I would rathers?

I would rather have sex with a rusty fishhook.  
I would rather date my shoe.  
I would rather chew glass.

Dammit, I have a lot more, they just haven’t come to mind yet. I’ll keep ya posted.

I like this one, but I’m not sure how it does out of context:

A few ideas:

‘I’m not sure which Mull-tiple personality is talking.’

‘Sigs are for sissies’

‘Sig disabled’

‘See above’

‘When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie…THAT HURTS!’

Here’s a line I just ran across that’s just _dying_ to be in someone’s sig.

I liked the one Rift had for awhile:

“It takes a great deal of effort to be THIS condascending”  
Some other quotes:

Everyone has a right to be stupid. Some just abuse the privilege. -Anthony Sherratt

The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, there were lots of mice playing, 'cuz the cat was dead. - Richard Cazinzky (who I think is a character not a real person)

The meek shall inherit the earth.The rest of us will go to the stars. - Anthony Sherratt

You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word. - Al Capone

The shortest distance between two points is under construction.

What makes the universe so hard to comprehend is that there’s nothing to compare it with.

</div>

Or how bout:

“After a while, crocadile.”

Get it? A response to “See you later Mullinator”. It might take them a few seconds to get it, but it might be worth it.

Or you could make it easier for them by just sigging with “See you later Mullinator.”

God, I’m just stock-full of bad puns, aren’t I?

I don’t know why, but Freak’s offering of

> [@](#):
>
> “Mul-li-na-tor: Not quite a mule, and not quite an alligator.”

made me laugh outloud the most. I think I’ll have to go with that one (at least for a little while.)

Congrats Freak, you win the big prize. Be sure to watch your mailbox closely. I’ll find your address. I assume you are listed in the phone book under Freak, F.

Thanks to all who participated. I will probably rotate a few of these in and out for a while, at least until I get too lazy to do so.

how about:

Love Is: 2 Naked 8 year olds rolling around in a flower bush.

(After those Idiotic “Love IS” cartoons)

or maybe, from the Simpsons

Homer: “This is the worst Party Ever”  
Marge: “Not really. Remember that New YEars Eve party at Lenny’s? He didnt even have a clock.”
