I like Zette’s sig. 😉 I also like "I told you not to be stupid, you moron. " And Cal’s Zeno sig. It catches me everytime. What is that from? It sounds so familiar… ---

This is where I get to show you all what a narcissist I really am. I get a thrill when I influence someone elses sig. I can recall the following times I was invoked: - John Corrado put _Not Even Mentioned_ about Coldfire’s Millennium-Ending “Favorite Poster” thread and accompanying “big-ass spread sheet” in response to me putting how I had won said contest. - aha uses _Satan’s hero_ because I called him my hero. Fair enough, eh? - Some relatively new poster whose user name I totally forget (please come along and punish me, whomever you are) had a sig _Finally Flamed by Satan - Or was I just exposed for my own…_ something I forrget, but it was funny! I’m sorry i don’t remember! ☹ - When I complained about trolls by seemingly setting up elaborate rules as to when I would speak to people, another newbie’s sig said _30 posts until Satan pays attention to me_ and lowered it as she went. Nice touch there! - Falcon used something I said as a sig once, about her being _like a Boy Scout with tits_. - I don’t think SqrlCub’s _Move over Satan… Now there’s something meatier_ sig was about me, but it was nice to be mentioned anyway. 🙂 - Surgoshan’s _I sold my soul ton Satan for a dollar. It came in the mail._ comment was really about a dollar I really sent him in the mail. A personal favorite and he still uses it! - pldennison used a _Satan used my shower_ sig for a while. I did use his shower too. Not while he was in it, however. 😃 I could swear that I was invoked by more and I can’t remember them.

These are actually sig lines from the AOL SDMB, but they are classics, IMHO. [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/sigs.html](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/sigs.html) ---

I liked one of **Necros’s** old sigs; I always chuckled when I saw it. He no longer has it, and I don’t remember the exact wording, but it was something like: The only poster to be welcomed to the SDMB by **H. P. Lovecraft** – FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE! ---

I like Demo’s sig, though I’ve yet to see these chainmail underwear. I like so many sig’s, they make me laugh, I like to laugh. 😃 ---

I should thank people who’ve inspired my old sigs. Coldfire, who once said “You can’t accidentally create a handicapped baby whilst smoking pot.” And Green Bean, who uttered “I can assure you, RevTim, that was no ordinary stretched open anus.” –Tim ---

> [@](#): > > - pldennison used a Satan used my shower sig for a while. I did use his shower too. Not while he was in it, however. I’d much rather use his shower while Leigh-Anne’s in it! 😛 Some of my old faves - their users are welcome to take credit; I can’t remember who they came from! When the pin is pulled, Mr.Grenade is no longer our friend. “I guess one person can make a difference, although most of the time they probably shouldn’t.” Jesus saves, Allah forgives, and Cthulhu thinks you’d make a good sandwich. Some drink at the fountain of knowledge…others just gargle. If you’re not part of the solution you’re just scumming up the bottom of the beaker. I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now I’m lucky if I can find a half an hour a week in which to get funky. “82.35% of all statistics are made up on the spot”–Vic Reeves “The idea of a walk-in closet sounds frightening. If I’m ever sittin’ at home and a closet walks in, I’m gettin’ outta there.” ~George Carlin Eat right, exercise daily, live clean, die anyway. All right, brain, I don’t like you and you don’t like me - so let’s just do this and I’ll get back to killing you with beer. --Homer Simpson When someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles to frown. But it takes only 4 muscles to extend your arm and whack them in the head. ---

What is that from? It sounds so familiar… Zeno was a Greek philosopher who had trouble with infinity. He reasoned (incorrectly) that to go from point A to point B, you have to go halfway, then half the remaining distance, etc. His paradox is that the sum of this infinite sequence of positive time intervals must be infinite. Therefore you cannot go from A to B. ---

Quite the titillating post, MaryAnn! 😛 More from RT’s “Best of SD Sig Lines” collection: “I’m not older than dirt, but I remember when it was still under warranty.” “Everything I know could be a lie, for all I know, I could just be a brain in a jar…” -Transcript from Jar #72. Recommend immediate termination. If homosexuality is a disease, let’s all call in queer to work. “Hello. Can’t work today, still queer.” I just haven’t been the same since that house fell on my sister. I don’t suffer from insanity…I enjoy every minute of it! “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side.” — Han Solo “The quickest way to a man’s heart is through his ribcage.” –anonymous redhead “If ignorance is bliss, you must be orgasmic.” I haven’t lost my mind, I have a tape backup around somewhere. Not only does God play dice, he cheats! I don’t use my conscience as my guide… It’s more like a creative consultant. “You keep your church out of my bedroom, I won’t have sex on your altar.” - Esprix (not his sig line; mine, quoting him) ---

Ellen Who Never Gets On a List Either (bring on the violins) was zipping through here hopefully. I always giggle at my OWN sig line. Someone had a sig line that said something like Eschew Obsfucation. I always loved seeing that one. ---

It’s short, simple, and subtly ironic. It’s my favorite sig here. ---

Even though I’m a major newbie, I’ve found a few I like. “Without ice cream, there would be darkness and chaos.” --Don Kardong “Look, we all have something to bring to this discussion. I think from now on, what you should bring is silence.” - Rimmer Three minutes thought would suffice to figure this out. But thought is irksome and three minutes is a long time. – A. E.
