This gal has a special style both for the sig and for naming which poster she’s talking too.

More sigs that I’ve had… * * * I miss the \_. It’s so different without the \_. I don’t think I can handle it. **-Homer** * * * My dearest Silver Fire, you should _always_ be naked. 😉 **-slythe** * * * Yes, but are they good at sucking? If they are well, I’ll take two. 😛 **-Ayesha** The following sigs are not things that other posters said to me. * * * If I didn’t insult you, I’d have to be nice. * * * If all the raindrops were lemondrops and gumdrops, oh what a rain that would be. **-Barney** Ummm, I know there’s probably more, but I can’t remember them right now. 🙂 ---

These dopers, for reasons unbeknownst to me, have quoted me in their sig lines: Monster104: “Well, Monster, I was in the process of carving a life-sized black marble nude statue of you. Then the damn chisel slipped, and… well, let’s just say that the worshippers were a bit underwhealmed. Sorry.” Punoqllads: “Penis, penis, penis! Now shut the hell up!” Bear\_Nenno: Oh, screw the gender thing. Be my snuggle Bear. I’m not sure what to think about this. I love my Anthracite/Swiddles-inspired sig, though. ---

One I always liked (until he changed it :eek: ), was Garfield226’s sig: “And where am I now, for all your patience and your prophetic chickens?” Anyone else know where it’s from (the movie/tv show/miniseries and the character)? ---
