Yep, mine’s from “The State.” Wish I was that witty, but maybe if I keep quoting it without attribution…hmmmmm. Currently I like the one that **Oldscratch** is using. “In the basement, ankle deep in water. I’m begging them. Don’t do this.” I know I probably screwed that one up nine ways to Sunday, but if you see one of his posts with a sig, check it out. ---

#1 Something about running a jigsaw in a butt hole. #2 Something about stealing Lucifer’s shoes coat and hat. ---

I like stuffnb’s sig: * * * No, I haven’t heard about it for you see, Ive been on Mars, In a Cave, with my fingers in my ears “His men would follow him anywhere, mainly out of morbid curiosity” * * * First time I saw it and each time I see it now, I burst out laughing because I can so totally relate to them because I’ve been trying to get off of this planet for quite some time now, and I imagine I’d follow someone out of morbid curiosity, particularly if it’d get me a space trip. 😃 I’m fixin’ to tear up this other sig, and unfortunately I can’t remember whose it is, but it goes something to the effect: I must leave this planet for at least few hours, minutes . . . today. There’s another one about kneeling and kissing the sky or something like that. Oh, hell, I can’t remember anything. Suffice it to say that if only I could remember, I’d share the many sigs I’ve seen that I like. [celestina putters off to go tinker with her spaceship] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by celestina \* > **There’s another one about kneeling and kissing the sky or something like that.** “If you want to kiss the sky you’d better learn how to kneel.” **Cartooniverse** ’s, I believe. Wouldn’t you know it, though - for the life of me, I can’t think of what song it’s from. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Broken Doll_ > **I happen to like mine alot, it’s a haiku from Wayne’s World - How Do Girls Pee? They never showed us in health class. Splash.** I used to have a _Wayne’s World_ haiku as my sig. Garth: It’s like we’re looking down on Wayne’s basement, only that’s not Wayne’s basement. Isn’t that weird? Wayne: Garth, I think that was a haiku! Just for fun, I’m putting mine in. Once, **Nacho4Sara** said this great line about “boobs being so much more than big balls of fun.” I asked her if I could have it for a sig, but she never replied. Sigh… ---

I do write down sigs that are especially funny or clever myself. My current add-on one is just a song that has been going through my head lately. But thanks anyhow! BTW, in response to an earlier post here - **Neuro-Trash Grrl** does still read the Board, occasionally. She’s just chosen not to post. ---

Okay, I’m gonna be egotistical and say that I like the quote in mine. A wee bit of wisdom. I’m also gonna take a moment to gloat about making it onto Zenster’s list with my old “Never Divide by Zero” quote, from my math teacher. My personal favorite is one whose owner I can’t remember at the moment. It just says “Hey, what’s this little box for?” Cracks me up every time. ---

> [@](#): > > **(waxteeth)** #1 Something about running a jigsaw in a butt hole. **The Tim** , as I recall, uses this one, taken from [my infamous telemarketer rant](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=51270). Brings a tear to my eye every time I see it, too, let me tell you. I like my own sig, because it causes a fair number of people to check out my incredibly witty and erudite film-review website, without a perusal of which one’s life is simply not complete. 😉 ---

I like **chique** ’s. “Inside me there’s a thin person screaming to get out…but I keep her sedated with chocolate.” I also like **Wolverine** ’s, with his very vicious one line Wolverine. And of course, I rather like mine(I wouldn’t use it if I didn’t like it). ---

I like mine. I’d nominate it for “Longest Used” and “Least likely to be understood, much less liked.” 🙂 ---

I like **racinchikki** ’s, because it’s a quote from me 😃 Unfortunately, she doesn’t use it enough–I can’t find a post with it to copy from.
