There are lots of good .sig’s on this board. I like **CalMeacham** ’s:

Tell Zeno I’m willing to meet him halfway

Also, I don’t know whose it is(was?), but I also like:

Four out of five people don’t understand fractions.

I can’t think of a favorite sig line at the moment, because I’m simply overjoyed that I was mentioned in a favorite list, not once but twice. Not by name, but I’ll take it.

{My old sig was the cranberries/apples/rhubarb one}

I thought this might be a good place to demonstrate my new sig. What do you think? It’s a line from a song by the band Garbage.

There’s also the sig I use at The Other Message Board, which is “There’s nothing that can go wrong in the kitchen that you can’t fix with more butter.”

Bluemonchichi’s: “Monchichi, oh Monchichi, oh how soft and cuddly.”

For some reason this gives me the warm fuzzies. I like to say it to one of my soft, cuddly kitties, in a sort of sing-song-y voice: “mon-CHI-chi, mon CHI-chi, so soft and cuddly” (repeat over and over).

I have no idea what it is really supposed to mean.

My favorite sig was one of my old ones:  
“Love is like popsicles. You get too much, you get too high. Not enough and you’re gonna die”

I also used to love (I forget who’s it was now)  
“Sucks to your assmar!”

Doc, I’m not sure who it was either but I think it went _five out of every four_ people don’t understand fractions.

Also if you like statistics, did you realize that 3 out of every 4 people make up 75% of the world’s population?
