Note to self:

Self, do not read threads like this when abdominal muscles are sore after fighting off bronchitis for a week. You’ve been warned.

**Where are we going? Why am I in this handbasket?**

That one shows up from time to time over on the Fathom board, since it allows multiple, rotating, sigs. 🙂

I used to have this one on my car: **Since I gave up hope, I feel much better**. [sub]Would that that were true.[/sub]

A year or so ago someone did a favorite sig lines thread and one of mine made the OP.  
\*How can anarchy have an internationally accepted symbol?

My favorite is  
\*I really want to have wild sex with that Zebra guy.

This was posted by some really attractive doper but I can’t remember which one.

Shamefully, I have to admit that my favorite Doper sig is one that only makes sense in the context of the original post in which it appeared. Every time I saw it afterward, I was convulsed with giggles.

From **alice in wonderland** : “Curse you, milk-flavored bunny!”

The one that makes me giggle most now belongs to someone whose user name I can’t seem to recall, except I think it starts with a “P”:

“English does not borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys and mugs them, then rifles through their pockets for loose grammar.”

…or something like that.
