I was farting around the other night and made this sig line, but it’s obnoxious and pointless so I probably won’t be using it very often (if ever). No, it isn’t really anything musical, just jibberish. Let’s see your siglines! . ---

I don’t remember what mine is. A quote, maybe. Or the name-change thing, but that sig was stupid. Go, sig! On preview, it looks like it’s time for a new sig. ---

Note for posters not used to sig: Preview is not your friend. :smack: Preview unchecks the option. You need to click the “show your signature” check mark again before pressing Submit.
