I did want to add one blurb: The road to infinity is paved with mite footprints but sealed with inflatable donuts.
Why the hell did you jump on Opal? All she said was:
That doesn’t sound like she has an
to me. I’m still not sure what you are talking about, although I now have a better guess. Maybe if you had responded to my first post asking if you meant sig lines, I could have given you an answer then.
If you want to add
to all of your posts, this is what you do. Go to the top of a page and click where it says “profile”. Enter your “blurb” into the box marked “signature”. Then, whenever you post something, click the box that says “show signature”. That’s all.
Oh, yes. Here is my sig:

It’s frightening how many crazies think that world is going to end in a few days. All of us smart people know that it’s not ending until next year.
Speaking of .sigs, I think mine is quite appropriate to the OP.

What did I do to earn your wrath, John?
Have I not always regarded you as my peer?
Show me the error of my ways, so that I do not repeat these felonies.
My heart is heavy. Is there no way I may return to your good graces?
Underneath my clothes I am completely naked.
Wrath? Wrath?
Okay, for the love of Christ, I don’t know what’s going on here. Boris B seems to be taking my jokes as serious statements, john john can’t seem to understand the statements I make, and then, finally, I try to pay WallyM7 the ultimate compliment of being the epitome of beautiful one-liners and zingers, and he gets all maudlin and wonders why I’m pissed at him.
Sigh. Maybe I oughtta break down and start using those goddamned smileys.

Holy Smokes, John.
I really thought you took a shot at me.
Who’d a thunk it was a compliment?
Well, shucks, thanks, guy.
I apologize.
If anyone says something wrong against you, Ill kill the son of a bitch. And there’s no jury that will convict.
Underneath my clothes I am completely naked.
Yay! Love in the pit!
Skel: What the hell? I asked a legitimate question! I had no idea what you were talking about in your original post, and everyone else was just making jokes, so I asked if anyone else knew what you meant. GET A GRIP. If you don’t like joking around, you won’t get along well here at all. I suggest you leave now.

“Meat flaps, yellow!” - DrainBead, naked co-ed Twister chat

Dear OpalCat: please dont be so sensitive. I think your’e a wonderful person. I didn’t know anything about the signature comments. Now I know. Thats all I was interested in. I thought some moderator was writing these things. So take a xanax or a welbutrin and relax. Your Ok in my book. As far as Uncle Beer is concerned, I retract my comment about him as well. The “sig” thing meant nothing to me then. Now both of you have a good holiday and a Happy New Year.!!!
Oh, but this is the PIT and we have to stomp on you until you crawl away in TEARS!!! Bwha ha ha!!! Oh fuck it! Merry Christmas everyone!
Best!

Get off your horse before you fall, kiddo.
You pull this out of your ass:
And then when I reply in a fairly mild way (this is the pit… perhaps you don’t know where you are, child?) you accuse me of being “too sensitive” as if it had somehow bothered me on an emotional level? Don’t flatter yourself. When I tell an idiot that they are an idiot, it doesn’t mean I’m hurt, it means they are an idiot. Got that, idiot?

Reading this whole thread makes me REALLY glad I lurked for a few weeks before registering!!
Skelton: I’m just a newbie, but my understanding is that questions like this should get posted in the ‘About this Message Board’ section. The tolerance level over there is pretty high. The Pit is for hardcore bitchin’!. Except, of course at Christmas, when everybody’s feeling the love.
renaissanceman: Yeah? Yeah? Well Christmas is over, suckah! I’m calling you out! You call yourself renaissance man, but I bet the only thing you’re REALLY good at is (insert crude, nasty comment here. Feel free to include hillbillies, animals, and members of his family. Also the Garden Weasil). 
OK, seriously, I salute you: You took the time to check out the board before bitching about it.
Gawd, why isn’t common sense common?
Happy holidays, y’all!
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Sealemon: I’d pick up the gauntlet but…(shaking head slowly)…I don’t think it’d be a fair fight.
You see, as renaissanceman, I have six centuries of human thought and reason to draw on. I can wrap you up in philosophical arguments. Tangle you in mental conundrums. Not to mention devilish instruments of physical torture.
But, as sealemon, what weapons do you have? Gonna throw that red rubber ball at me? Perhaps mock me with resonant braying, “Aaahhrrr, Aaahhrr, Aaahhrrr!”
Or maybe you’re gonna slap your front flippers at me derisively.
Boy, that would really sting.
So, my esteemed Pit comrade, I’m backin’ off and risking being called chicken.
'Cause if you got me in the water, you’d kick my ass!!
Happy Holidays
Aha! But you see, my fine friend, I’d also have
1.Sealing tape
2. My seal of disapproval
3. My sealing wax
4. My Ceiling
5. My “seal E” sense of humor…
6. And a shitload of Sea Lemons (just ask Drain Bead!).
- not to mention my assortment of typos and misspellings!
You, on the other hand…well, the last renaissanceman I had seen was at the Texas Renaissance Festival. don’t tell me you’re THAT guy, are you? The one with the fake sword? The one who wishes he could fake an English accent?
Man, I’m sorry. I had no idea.
P.S. Welcome to the board! < shakes your hand >
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Dear Skeleton,
If you are attempting to make an impression on the other posters by 1) starting a thread in the BBQ Pit; 2) trying to sneakily insult everyone by pretending you don’t know what the sig lines are and calling them ‘meaningless blurbs’; and 3) trying to flame the responders into submission, then I believe you have succeeded.
Although I’m not sure this is the impression you had in mind - everyone now thinks you are a stupid troll. Quick, post something witty and intelligent, before it’s too late!
If, OTOH, you really are dumb enough to not read the board and figure out what sig lines are, then ask a question in the BBQ Pit that should have been posted in About This Message Board, you may have created the correct impression.
Geez, get a life!
Carpe diem - Seize the day
Carpe noctem - Seize the night
Carpe cerevisi - Seize the beer
Coose or cooza: I am going to take your advise and say something intelligent: I think you would benefit by seeing a shrink for delusions of grandeur associated with a low self-esteem. The only thing of wit I can say is that you are 1/2 of one.
Yup, he’s a troll.

Oh, Lordy, he has Phaedritus!!!
Manda JO:
I was only bluffing Sealemon, honest! The name refers to a remark made by an old girlfriend about my range of interests. I don’t have the wit, inclination, the perspective or the toughness of hide to follow in those footsteps. Please don’t pigeonhole me so quickly!!
