**don’t ask** is probably bootylicious, but the tests haven’t come back from the lab yet.

**DrFrasierCrane** may well be the only person left in the Western Hemisphere to whom the word “zany” can be accurately applied.

You coax the blues right out of the horn, **Gartog**! You charm the husks right off the corn, **Gartog**! Frankly, it’s no wonder you’ve been thrown out of both New Orleans and the state of Nebraska by angry torch-wielding mobs…

The morning paper, a cup of coffee and a **Gartog** thread, and my day is complete.  
Or:

**Gartog,** the only poster bold enough to have a name that spells “got rag” backward.

AND: Here is a **generic sig line** for all those who haven’t found one they really like yet:

_I got my sig line on the “Let’s flatter each other shamelessly for sig lines” thread._
