Verrain:

I can do without the cosmopolitan and studly, but give me the Brobdingnagian. I can wait for quality.

I’m going to use this as a sig, but for a couple of very personal reasons, I’m going to shave off the end of the quote.

I think that sums up my attitude.

Oh my! What a big sig you have! I wonder what happens if you add water? 😉

[sub]Btw, happy 500![/sub]  
**Verrain** , maybe I _could_ use a new sig to replace my love one (since the others are here to stay). Can you find an appropriate one for me? Take your time. This one isn’t due to expire for awhile.

Well are a few with dog themes, and some wit and whimsy besides.

“If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.” - Mark Twain

“You can say any fool thing to a dog, and the dog will give you this look that says, `My God, you’re RIGHT! I NEVER would’ve thought of that!’”  
– Dave Barry

“When rats leave a sinking ship, where exactly do they think they’re going?”  
– Douglas Gauck

“I had a linguistics professor who said that it’s man’s  
ability to use language that makes him the dominant  
species on the planet. That may be. But I think there’s  
one other thing that separates us from animals – we  
aren’t afraid of vacuum cleaners.”  
– Jeff Stilson

“Fish are supposed to be brain food, and yet people eat it on Friday and then do the silliest things over the weekend.”  
– Unknown

“There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.”  
– Ben Williams

“Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.”  
– Dave Barry

“Did you ever walk into a room and forget why you walked in? I think that is how dogs spend their lives.”  
– Sue Murphy

“I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.”  
– Unknown

Any of those fit you? If not you may return them for alteration.

Try these Doctor Who quotes on for size.  
The Doctor: “I am a citizen of the universe, and a gentleman to boot.”

The Doctor: “There are some corners of the universe that have bred the most terrible things, things which act  
against everything that we believe in. They must be fought.”

The Doctor: “Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.”

The Doctor: “The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common – they don’t alter their views to fit  
the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views.”

Organon (introducing himself): “Astrologer extraordinary. Seer to princes and emperors. The future foretold, the  
past explained, the present…apologised for.”

Of course not all Dragon’s are big and nasty. Only reality is. Not that I believe in them of course. 🙂 And you will find for special dragon friends, I am very good at suspending disbelief.

Well I came up with two, one odd, one touching. Let me know what you think.

I am the goddess of heavenly bodies and brownies. Want one?

Well is a :bump: and an invitation. If any of you out there liked any of the quotes put forth you are of course welcome to take it as .sig. If you don’t see what you like, describe you desired .sig. I’ll see what I can do. No promises on when of course, but I do what I can.

**Verrain** , just wondering if you missed my request (since it _was_ on the end of a little flirt 😉 ) or just not come up with anything for me yet. I don’t mean to be a pest, just curious. Not looking for anything in particular, just something that fits me.

Thanks!

🙂 Interesting choices. I like both of them, but since I only have room for one right now, I’ll take the second one. Either you’ve been reading a lot of my posts or you’re remarkably intuitive about people. Thank you very much.

Now, if you’ll excuse this hijack, I must answer a few rascally people.

**Pipefitter** said: _Hey purp, my dear…what’s the matter…a little too top heavy. (Oops…bad me, now I deserve to be spanked)_

[Heavy sarcasm] Perhaps, dear, for your delicate tastes.[/heavy sarcasm] And, yes, you do deserve to be spanked. C’mere, you rascal. 😃 Now bend over my knee, yes, that’s right. No squirming now, or I shall have to really get firm with you. _wicked, sassy grin_

Then, **Vestal Blue** followed his comment with: _Yes yes! You must give us_ all\* a good spanking! And then…\*

And then what, my dear? \<best innocent look\> You’re both incorrigible flirts, which is probably why I love you and put up with you. So, you’re next. Bend over my lap, there’s a good boy. 😛 I promise to be gentle with you. _faintly heard, ladylike giggle_

Your welcome. I would like to flatter you and say I did extensive research but only the posts in this thread did I read. Your description was excellent. The second one is actually my paraphrase; the original is below. Feel free to use which you like better.

- We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly embracing each other.
