Turns out, the Latin phrase was a cry for help and a suicide note. You should feel real bad, now. But you don’t care.
I do care. I care what the damn Latin phrase was! Who the hell was that guy? This is bothering me now.
Was it “Burrito, Ergo Sum”?
Hi Opal!
I can’t remember either. I have the vague notion of it staring with the letter “V” though.
Sic Semper Voldemort or something?
Seemed like a good place to put my sig.
He’s gone. Sic semper tyrannis.
Vinyl Turnip, Nzinga, et al who are complaining about the topic, you must’ve known exactly what the thread was about when you saw the title. Why’d you open it? And then post to it, thereby extending the life of a topic you think tedious? That seems stupid.
I’m curious myself as to the answer to Monkey’s question. Shodan doesn’t seem stupid to me, so why have such a dumb thing at the end of each and every post. And then XT and Captain Kirk come in and remind me that their taglines are even stupider. It would work if you were making a big, long, heartfelt post, but on a short, ordinary one it’s fucking dumb. Dumb things bother me sometimes, especially when some fool is getting up in your face with the dumbness.

blah blah I like redundancy blah blah just in case you forgot my stupid fucking handle here it is again

That doesn’t even have the supposed snarkiness that Shodan’s “Regards” has, which, based on context, I guess I’m supposed to sometimes read as “Go fuck yourself”. No, it’s just repetition. And, to hear XT say it, there is no reason for it. It’s just a habit. It’s not even automated. Wow.
You have the memory of an elephant.
Valete! Yes! Thank you. You remain my favorite camelopardian ex-moderator.
And the googling skills of a lemur. (They’re notoriously good googlers.)
Well, uh, phhyaaaa… everyone knows that.
Both are retarded, but the “Enjoy, Steven” sign off is more retarded than the “Retards, Shodan” one. This is a fact.
On the retardation scale, signing off message board posts is about the level of Special Olympic Curling, except not really because that would be awesome.
If only you had said Dumpass instead. Because of that I’ll have to give this post a 9 out 10 rather than a 10.

Valete!

Nevermind scooped!
See, now you got your Latino all in my Latin.
AND IT’S DELICIOUS!
poop.
You’ve got me wondering if we can top either of those two sign off’s.
Retardedly Yours,

Perchance to point out that the topic is covered annually. That it doesn’t need to be covered again. To point out that Shodan uses his signature after every post so getting annoyed by it is akin to becoming annoyed that the sun has risen in the east AGAIN.
I’d like to know why people are letting signatures get to them so much. I usually prefer to save my emotions for the actual meat and potatoes of the post. Why bother getting irked by the parsley garnish that is the signature?
