Dear gluteus maximus, your sig is too big

[kambuckta]

And I’m dancing behind Larry Mudd with my thumbs in my ears and my tongue sticking out atcha.

Geez, you’re a complete dweeb NHIBI.

@Lynn Bodoni

Nope. ONCE was a mistake. But you chose to deliberately paint a big honking target on yourself again, and now you’re whining because people are taking potshots at you? You’re going to have to learn. This message board is for adults who take responsibility for their own actions. You wanted to start a shitfest and it backfired on you. Boohoo. Live and learn. Next time, maybe you won’t be QUITE so eager to start a fight.

Well, we can’t let the thread die now, can we?

[Fenris]

For shame, Lord Ashtar–

Don’t you know that bumping a thread for the sake of bumping a thread is not only wrong but terribly naughty and makes the mods cry?

You had no content, no meaning in your post, it was just a bump.

Now if you’d said 'Well, we can’t let the thread that NHIBI, that twit started die now, can we?" I’d have had no problem with it.

As it is, you’ve been very, verrrry naughty.

As a pennance, I suggest you try again. Say…oh, every six or so hours as this thread drops below the half-way point on the front page.

Whoa. That was the most extroardinary act of mod 0wnage that I’ve ever witnessed. Go Lynn!

@Smeghead

Secondly, you may have noticed that every single person who has posted an opinion to this thread, excepting only yourself, agrees with me. If we can all see the “evidence,” and you can’t, what do you think that means?

OHMIGAWD – that means we’re all delusional angry dimwits, far below the lofty intellectual heights of

Oh, hell, I can’t be bothered. It’s too much like kicking a crippled warthog. I’d rather go roast [Libertarian** for exceeding his daily allotment of rodomontade.

[Doomtrain]

0wned!. Wish I was better with the Photoshop, but it deserves to be immortalized.

Yes, he broke a sig rule.
gluteus maximus, shorten your sig. I advise eliminating a couple of line breaks, and using a slash instead.

Thanks, Lynn. I’ve shortened my sig.

For the record, though, I used that sig in a post exactly once. It was in this thread (go to the second page), which Never Have I Because I was not honest enough to link to. I posted four times in that thread, and only once used that overlong sig.

The sig in question was merely (simply) a parody (humorous… I mean funny imitation ) of Never Have I Because I’s own sig… actually, a verbatim (word-for-word) copy with an another quote appended (stuck on the end).

Never Have I Because I was in fact, proud enough of that sig to start an entire thread about it.

[gluteus_maximus]

Oh, and for the benefit of any latecomers, who may not have archived the sig which inspired this thread:

once sigged by gluteus maximus

BIG WORDS HURT, BIG WORDS KILL
MY FATHER WAS KILLED BY A BIG WORD IN A MILL
LOTS OF WORDS AREN’T BIG, USE THEM
(drum solo) – NHIBI, while the rest of us go on fighting ignorance

My advice to you, you inimical cabbage, is to lurk until you learn, as I have, to minimize your idiocy when posting.
– gadfly

So, let that be a guide to us all when in doubt about the length of our sigs.

[gluteus_maximus]

Here’s my new sig.

[ivylass]

NHIBI, some friendly advice:

Go lurk for awhile. You are WAY out of your league here.

[dantheman]

@gluteus maximus

Here’s my new sig.

You could modify it slightly as an homage to this message board:

NOT being a jerk since 2004.

Me, I like to use laudatory quotes as my sig, because I’m woefully insecure, and I covet nice things said about me like they’re the Holy Grail and a Cubs World Series combined.

Sigh…you’re absolutely right. I shall now go hang my head in shame as penance. Then I will come back and bump this thread again if need be.

Hey, Cousin Vinnie. You forgot to log Lynn out before you posted.

Come’re dantheman, lemme lick ya. - Diane
Those are very good points I admit I had not considered. What you say here makes a lot of sense. - Una Persson
Damned reasonable people. Who’m I gonna hate on now?" - Hamadryad

I’ll take that under consideration, although, it will make my sig longer, though still not as long as yours, dantheman.

@gluteus maximus

Now somebody needs to start a Pit thread entitled “Dear gluteus maximus, your sig is too short.”

[gluteus_maximus]

@Ilsa_Lund

Now somebody needs to start a Pit thread entitled “Dear gluteus maximus, your sig is too short.”

Well, to be a more accurate antithesis of this thread, I believe the title should be “Dear gluteus maximus, your sig is too small.”

[gluteus_maximus]

…in which case, I may be forced to change my username to signatorius minimus…

@gluteus maximus

Okay, how about this:

Whoever said size doesn’t matter never met Lynn Bodoni

At any rate, I hope you’re not implying mine’s too long. I mean, that’s not something I’ve heard before.

[gluteus_maximus]

@dantheman

At any rate, I hope you’re not implying mine’s too long. I mean, that’s not something I’ve heard before.

Of course, the kind ones won’t tell you… or is it the mean ones…?
I would never say something like that. That would be breaking the rules.
I have never met Lynn Bodoni, but she has already told me in this very thread that size does indeed matter.

I meant to say that mine is not as big as yours… right now… in cyberspace…

I am NOT jerking-off.
