## Most of us use sig lines and many of use quotations, both famous and obscure. I happened to come across something called the ‘Quotation Webring’ today, and thought I’d share the addy with everyone. IIRC, there were 242 sites listed for quotations. [http://www.gunnar.cc/webring/quotes.html](http://www.gunnar.cc/webring/quotes.html) Looks line fun reading and a source for some really awesome sig lines. Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. - Aldous Huxley ---

Personally, I’m rather fond of my sig line right now. And see, Brian! I told ya I’d give you credit! * * * “You are sweet, kind, and considerate… Like a grown up boy scout with tits!” - Brian, aka SDMB’s one and only Satan. ---

Just for the record, mine is from The Simpsons. Marge says when, after getting Itchy & Scratchy ‘cleaned up’, she’s expected to join a decency campaign against Michelangelo’s David. Just for your memory, the quote is… * * * “I guess one person can make a difference, although most of the time they probably shouldn’t.” ---

Mine comes from a card game, _Legend of the Five Rings_. Probably makes me look geeky, but I know the story behind the character and event, and I think it’s pretty cool.

I like to change my sig line regularly, but the current one will stick around longer than the others have. Considering the amount of nonsense that’s been going on lately, it’s rather appropriate. Of course, even thought it’s nonsense, it doesn’t mean I haven’t been laughing my head off. * * * Some drink at the fountain of knowledge…others just gargle. ---

Chef: Wow! I’ve always loved that tune, and I’ve always loved your sig line, but I never added the two of 'em up. It works really well with your user name…I like the image of a sensory, hedonistic life, based on the kitchen arts! Doll: I agree with your estimation of Tom Waits…if I used a sig line quote at all, one of the top candidates would be “The piano has been drinking…not me.” As it is, my sig is, uh, my name. * * * Uke ---
