It was originally something my basketball teammate screamed at the top of his lungs when an opponent was about to take a shot, to throw him off. Worked every time 
The refs didn’t like it much, but they couldn’t do anything except warn him to cut it out.
Holy crap I’m howling here, man. That is some inexplicably funny shit.
I think it would make a good cussword, too. As in, “Holy FETUS that was hot!” or “Would you just get the fetus out of here?”
(Was that hockey tickets, fetus? I though it was lacrosse tickets. 
)
No no, I think it is retaliation for the fad a few years ago where every list had to have “Hi Opal” in it just to screw up her vanity searches.
a long drawn out payback to be sure.
Read the first page of the thread, then skipped over to here, so responding to the OP:
This is what you have to beef about???
PS: Hi Jim, we need another beer and sandwich night soon.
Also, yo Shodan - regards back at ya.
I’m pretty sure it was hockey, since the thread that inspired it was about NHL tickets.

Okay, now you’ve got me wondering who the heck I was talking to about lacrosse games. 
You just made me laugh more than any three people today.
I never realized people got so worked up over sigs. I was always taught that finishing off correspondence with some kind of signature–even informally–was standard practice. In a world full of nuclear proliferation, resource imbalance, and exponential inflation of Starbuck franchises, it seems an odd thing to worry one’s self about.

I need another excuse to get back to Chicago again. I’ve barely traveled this year.
You know, back in the olden days, when the board was young, and HTML code was ON, I not only used a signature, but also began it in the center of the line. I indented each paragraph five spaces, as well. This ancient typographic convention predates the computer, and even the typewriter. I happen to like it. But, I don’t know how to do it with vB code. I suppose those who find personal affection in writing style arrogant and smug can consider themselves fortunate.

____The indenting is not worth the bother, but when I first started posting here, I tried to include it. I just put 3 or 4 underlines in white. My signing off occurs without thinking about it or effort, so it has continued. (Along with my poor grammar and oft misspellings)
As I said, it isn’t worth the hassle.
