Desperately Seeking a New Sig

My current sig is JDT related, and posting it just makes me feel…icky. So I haven’t been sigging. Please, Dopers, help me find a new sig.

I’ve been wanting to use this one, but can’t bring myself to have this much hope. Don’t know if it’d apply to you, but I really like it, and if I’m not gonna use it, someone should.

Porcupine is, by far, my favorite poster EVER!! Combining charm and wit with a healthy dose of true intelligence, porcupine shines a light into the realm of ignorance that we all would do well to follow. And I’m not just saying this to be quoted in the sig! - Spritle

I’m not really a prick.
(or something like that)

:unzips jeans, feels around for a bit, not finding anything resembling a penis. looks down shirt, confirms 38D:
Well, I’m not technically a prick, though my behavior may sometimes indicate otherwise. A heartless bitch, maybe, but definitely not a prick. So I’ll just have to go with the first one. :smiley:

Eeeew… porcupine golden showers? Sorry, not into it. Female is only receptive for 8-12 hours a year? Maybe I should change my name, cause I’m thinking it doesn’t really fit. :smiley:

Blooms the laurel which belongs
To the valiant chief who fights;
I see the wreath, I hear the songs
Lauding the Eternal Rights,

Awful victors, they misguide
Whom they will destroy,
And their coming triumph hide
In our downfall, or our joy:
Speak it firmly, – these are gods,
All are ghosts beside.

“To believe in the possibility of liberation,” says Tufts University’s Lee Edelman, “is to believe there is a trapped identity struggling to get out. But it’s not a matter of liberating something that is repressed; it’s a matter of inventing ways of becoming something that has not been. It’s less a matter, in that sense, of coming out than of coming into__and one can’t know in advance what that will be.”

Thanks for all the suggestion. DRY, you win. :wink:

:smiley:

Thanks, Porcupine.

I used to read books on “big cats” (lions, leopards, tigers, jaguars, etc.) when I was a kid. I remember reading about how some of them hunted porcupines by flipping them over and devouring them in their helpless, upside down state, thereby avoiding a nose full of quills.

I recalled that story when I opened your thread yesterday. Particularly when I could put a prurient spin on the story. :stuck_out_tongue:

Congratulations on your fine choice and exceeding good taste! :slight_smile:
