I need some help finding what to put as my signature.
She puts the Boo in Boo Boo.
I had this same problem and went to a quote page like this:

just to get a quick one. You might also want to pick a line from a song you like or a good book.
Sorry, but I feel the need to chime in my two cents.
Sigs are half a step up from spam. At least the spammers only send me one or two emails each. Sig users waste my screen space 5 times a day.
There are also some people who have a “fixed” one by copying it into the post.
Like this:
QUIP PRO QUO: A fast retort.
It’s not more work if you know how to set up keyboard macros.
There’s freeware macro programs, but I’m not that much into changing signatures. I’d always forget. I don’t post enough to get a rhythm.
I got mine from George Carlin’s book Brain Droppings. It made me laugh so hard beer came out my nose. I was, needless to say piss drunk at the time.
Sheesh, Bill, why are you so cranky?
Maybe you need hugs? You gottem, Hugs to you. Now more Hugstooyou. Maybe you need a backrub?

And hey, don’t even get me started about smileys…
Well, thank you.
Just wait until someone says something to you that is really funny, special or important. It is a special little way to identify yourself. I have yet to find one, but I want to wait until I find a good one.
Try coolsig.com
They have tons of sigs for every occasion.
Smileys? Well, you are welcome, Bill honey, but I am a bit confused about the smiley thing. I am somewhat computer illerate, and have never figured out how to activate the dreaded smileys. Maybe you would like to teach me?
I am, however, an expert hugger giver. So consider yourself hugged to the max. Even if you are a cold and distant man who lives in a cave. Who collects rainwater to drink and peers suspicially at wandering hikers.
Hey-if this is you, poor baby, I promise to bring you a nice box lunch.

(If I had a clue, I’d post one of those smiley faces that indicate that I am kidding. Unfortunately, this is beyond my ability. I’m cute, but I guess I am a dimbulbwhenitcomestomycomputer.
Cheers!

Speaking of cold and distant men, hon, one of them–me–tried to reply to your last e-mail, but something is wrong with our system. If you haven’t gotten an e-mail from me, you will probably get it when our system goes back on line.
Grace, Medea’s Child, and Tatertot if you read this–I also replied to your last e-mails, and I believe they probably went out before my system went down. I think only Scotti’s got caught. If you reply (or have replied), I’ll get it when our system goes back on line.
Sorry for the hijack, but this IS related to my sig.

You have no idea how painful this is for me, but here we go:
All you have to do is throw in text like this:

or
They’ll automatically turn into cute faces.
For a full list of the choices, do this: when you’re making a post, click where it says “Smilies are On” near the top of the screen under the Straight Dope banner. That’ll give you a list of all the possibilities.
But for gods sake, don’t tell anybody I told you this. And please don’t use them in my threads.
I’m back off to the cave.
Scotti, my dear.
Remember, never bite the hand that feeds you.
If anyone, ANYONE, asks you how you learned to make smileys, tell them “Chief Scott” told you how.
I got the email. I don’t understand it. What is felching and why are you wanting to do that?
I’m so evil. We need a smiley for that.
"What, with my tongue in your tail?
Nay, come again…I am a gentleman"
–The Taming of the (heh) Shrew, Act 2, Scene i
Grace, you had way to many bellinis at lunch! Let me point out two similar, but very different words, so you can avoid a really embarrassing situation down the line:
F-E-L-L-A-T-I-O *** “FELLATIO” ***
F-E-L-C-H-I-N-G *** “FELCHING” ***
You wanted to be the life of the party at the Houston get together, right? I told you that you’d need to brush up on your FELLATIO skills, so the guys would be in awe of you, and say to each other:
“Would she give you so much of her lips
As of her tongue she oft bestows on me,
You’ll have enough.”
–Othello, Act 2, Scene i
and that they might also say you had:
“A cherry lip, a bonny eye, a passing pleasing tongue”
–Richard III, Act 1, Scene i
But if it was FELCHING you wanted, forget it!
Now stop this nonsense at once, Grace.
“Come, give us a taste of your quality”
–Hamlet, Act 2, Scene ii
I made mine up as a percieved response to my postings. It summerizes one of the tenents of my life rather very well.
Ok…I have the perfect sig for you:
“Sending this at the speed of Boo Boo.”
I rock
Okay. I liked the ones about Boo Boo. But, how’s this for a sig?
"Goodbye Cruel World"
The moon may kiss the stars,
The stars may kiss the bright blue shy.
The dew drops may kiss the grass,
But you my friend may kiss my ass. :)
Farewell...Honestly I think it is a little long. It is kinda annoying when people have really long signatures. You just don’t read them. But it is kinda cute.
