I intend to change it some time soon, so enjoy it while you can. ---

Long, odd, but if you have kids and pets, you know what I mean… ---

> [@screech-owl](#): > > Goodgawdawmighty, **Larry Mudd** , not only can I not comprehend what your signature means, but I need a magnifying glass to read it! And that’s with my glasses on!!! :eek: Heh. I took out the [size=“teenytiny”] tag just for you. I promise you it does mean _something._ It’s got words in it, after all. 😃 ---

I get bored with sigs fairly easily. This one will do for the next few weeks or so…until it too grates my nerves. ---

Danke’, **Lobsang**. I think my wee brain noticed that the second time. At least I won’t have to make sure it is off from now on, though. ---

Just your basic Terry Pratchett quote, edited a bit to take less space. For some reason, it annoys some people, so I think I’ll keep it! 😃 ---

Ah, _The Truth_… The last half of my sig took me maybe ten minutes to do. (Yes, I know the real emphases don’t fit, but the rhythm works for the words.) ---

Well, OK. But only because you asked so nicely. I’m thinking of changing it, though, to the following: As it stands, I have no ‘…and then she unzipped her jumper…’ stories. ---

I love my sig. It works on so many levels. It kind of sums up my philosphy of life. I’m sure no one else understands it. I thought about changing it only once, to something Lynn Bodoni posted, but I couldn’t ever find her post again to get the exact wording. It was something like this: “When he registered with username **ThrobbingHardOnKillYou,** I suspected there would be trouble.” ---

I also for sure checked the box. 2nd try… ---

I don’t think **dwalin** ’s sig is too thick. ‘average sized monitor’ means 17 inch these days? And surely the ‘average’ resolution is now 1024x 768. ---

I’m boring as fuck. This is the only signature I’ve had here, and it’s been my signature for about four years. On the other hand, I generally don’t display it, so maybe that’s a little interesting. ---
