Ok, I know that I’ve done this like twice, but this time I’m looking for something different.

I went into a bit of a snit, and chopped my sig line since I was requested to by a “Moderator”.

Now however, I am ready and waiting eagerly to get back into the witty sig-line game.  
So… I want folks to post what they think of me, based on my posts, my attitude, my complete lack of #straightdope presence… anything.

I will pick the best 2, and put them in my sig line… be they good, or be they insulting, I don’t care.

Let me have it!

I can’t believe that no one has jumped on this one with both feet… man, I’m surprised.

Mine’s not witty at all…for now.  
Unless you consider Webster Online witty, or something. Then I suppose it could be witty.  
I do have a thought, though. I saw this in some manual recently, on a blank page: “This space intentionally left blank.” I thought it was genius, because it’s so blatantly obvious!  
And obviously I’m easily amused.

How about…hmm…

“Tristan…kinda rhymes with piston.”

Sorry, I’m much too tired tonight. How about just putting _generic sig line_?

I used to have quotes from other posters about me in my sig line. Some of the best things are said about you when you don’t expect it. Maybe someone has said something cool about you in past threads. Alternatively, maybe there’s a quote that you really like, or something that sums up your philosophy.  
And if there’s quite a few that you like, you could always just rotate.

-“No, I’m NOT a small village that was decimated by demons from Hell!”

-“Don’t read this.”

-“Tristan: Now with 50% MORE TRIST!”

-“I can be yours for only 7,004,754 monthly payments of $6.”

-“Pants… don’t want 'em, don’t wear 'em.”

There ya go, Tristy… take which you want.

Oops… Oh, for want of a consonant… 😉

The More It Smiles, The More I Want To Kill It.

My Name Is Tristan. What’s So Funny About That?

Hey, I lost My sig? Can I have yours?

Okay, On that last one, lose the first question mark, and put in a period. Otherwise, it’s like “Hey, did I lose my sig?”

How about this one:

“If I start one more thread about my sig line, **Crunchy Frog** says he will find me, and he will hurt me.”

Just something to consider… for your sig, I mean.

</div>

How about something dense and impenetrable, that only obsessed fans of obscure genres will pick up on?

“tar shain, Manetheren”

“Korak Bundalo! Kreeg-ah! Kreeg-ah!”

“There’s a promotion in my pants. Think you can find it?”

“I told you to leave those sheep alone! Stay away from those sheep!”

Isn’t that “Tai Shar, Manetheren”?

Oh! Another one:

Would you like me better if I were tied down?

Hi, I’ll be your entertainment for the evening.

I’m not cheap, but I am on special this week.

I’m sorry, but I have to go lick someone now.

And just for you…

Bend over and receive your destiny.
