Disclaimer for GD. I think I’ve only felt the need to use it twice. ---

Mine was prompted by a particularly stupid day at work. I’ve also used Cordelia Naismith’s “I don’t want power. I just object to idiots having power over me.” That line alone is worth anything Bujold’s editors wish to extract from my wallet (so long as I don’t need to take a second mortgage). ---

On the Dope it’s the one you see below, which I assume is what you were looking for. But I use a different one for my personal e-mails: “English does not borrow from other languages. It follows other languages into dark alleys, knocks them over the head and rifles their pockets for loose vocabulary.” And here’s the one I use on these boards; it’s from the movie “Zulu”: ---

Mine used to be in Spanish (’‘The people, united, will never be defeated’’) to show my general support for Latin American and Latino community efforts at political change, but I think there’s a rule against foreign languages, so I changed it into something I thought of while reading through a certain Pit thread. It might not be funny, I dunno–I’m not really a born comic. Anything hilarious about me is generally completely unintentional. O how I do envy those sharp-witted posters aboard! ---

Mine’s been the same for the past seven years. Why change now? ---

Cripes, mark me down as yet another one who has no idea what’s going to come up. Wonder if there’s something about the SDMB Brat Pack (represent!) still in there… ---

Since Lost won’t be starting its season until next year I decided to change my sig to a philosophical type question that just popped into my head. ---

I don’t use mine very often, either. It tends to make people not respond to whatever I’ve just posted, I think. I image them shrugging and moving on, to avoid a GD like teararound over free speech. ---

Ok, I changed from my failed attempt at humor. I like the implication that just because someone appears sensitive, it doesn’t make them weak. ---

Mine was only pertinent for a short while and since I haven’t updated it, I don’t use it. ETA: Wait, what happened? How do I have over 1,000 posts? Last I checked it was sub-500. Good grief! ---
