I don’t know about anybody else, but I get totally distracted by some of the signature lines people use. I’ve effectively refused to post immediately after Sealemon, since when I read “You say cheesy like it’s a bad thing” (even if it’s the sixth time I’ve seen it that day) as the last line of a thread, it completely boggles my train of thought.
I’m not complaining; I have no problem whatsoever with Sealemon. But it’s a pozzlement.
I like it when posters keep the same sig line for a while - because when I’m reading, quickly, my eyes can skip the step of having to look left to see who wrote what. The sig identifies them in case I don’t look left.
Just so’s you know.
Where are we going?
And why am I in this handbasket?
I thought for a long time that Dirty Devil was the only other one here, and after he and I got into that tiff over guns and 4x4s, I figured I shouldn’t approach him for tape-trading. He hasn’t been around for a while, in any case.
You have no idea how hard it was to create that damn cow in my sig. Therefore I will never get rid of it YOU ARE STUCK WITH LOOKING AT IT! BWAH AHAHA HAHAHAHA!

Well, what can I say, give me a toy like a sig line, and I’m gonna play with it (insert joke here).
The sig is one of my many personal sayings. It’s part of my philosophy (the other saying I thought of using was “Don’t ask a question you don’t want answered”).
Kelli, I love your new sig. Where did the quote come from?
And cow god, your sig is awesome. So’s your profile name, come to mention it.
Polycarp: What can I say, I LIKE having my own little signature quote. But I tell ya what, just for all those posters that don’t like it, I’m using a new sig. Hope you like the new one better.
For the last few days I’ve been trying to get my sig to look just right, but I couldn’t decide what I wanted. What you guys think of this new simple approach?
Mine is obviously a tongue-in-cheek play on the Dennis Miller line, but it’s also a response to a phenomenon I’ve encountered in conversation I must admit I don’t fully understand.
See, I’ve been accused of being arrogant, and I’ll admit I sometimes have that tendency, but what I don’t understand is when people say (with exasperation), “You always think you’re right!”
Well, of course. Your opinion is by definition something you believe to be true. Do you know any sane people who hold opinions they believe to be wrong?
Of course, that’s just my opinion . . . But I know I’m right.
