I like the idea of putting location in the sigs. Of course, I believe I have sigs turned off…plus aren’t you only supposed to post them once per thread?

Again, just leave it blank. Nothing at all will show. Nothing will be visible. It won’t say, "Location: " with the location blank. It just won’t say anything at all. No words. Nothing.

Ugh, I just got this hideous vision of trying to tee-off with a 1-iron that had a penis shaped handle. :eek: Thanks for THAT vision!! :mad:

Just think, if you had let your membership lapse, I’d’ve been put in the predicament of either paying $15 to not be in your club, or just not posting until you resubscribed. Now I’m free to nitpick your posts for at least another year.

And I can’t even get a Guest sock puppet, especially since I annoyed TubaViva today.  
That’s cold, man.
