I had this one for a while, then stopped using it. I am still fond of it, however.

My sig has been changing a bit recently, not that anyone notices. At least it’s been staying short.

Here’s mine (okay I’m new here, give me a break already):

Okay maybe not all of them. Just leave two (I’d like to be in the running) then we’d be incredibly rich.

Okay, I’ve posted more than my minimum of two letters now (needed to post).

Two letters, apparently, is a worthy message in the mind of the server, eh?

Is there any way to have the sig line show up without clicking on the “show your signature” after typing a post? I have it selected in my options to show up but it doesn’t.

I keep forgetting to use mine, but I figure that’s all right, since I don’t want people to get tired of it.

Jeez, **Kyth** , I made mine just for you. 😉 (Well, okay, you were just the straw that broke this camel’s back. _Twice_.) 😛

The second part, recently added, is in reference to\*\* Idle Thoughts’ \*\* _Truth or Dare_ thread. I cheated ' **Mika**. 😃

Wow, it would’ve helped if I’d actually used my sig in that last post.

I _would_ say something like “extra points if you can name the movie” but years on the Internet in general and The Dope in particular have taught me that it’s nowhere near as obscure as I once thought it was…

Changed mine a while back after misreading a road sign. It was funny in my head, at least.
