This is the thread to show off your signature and maybe provide a little backstory on it. Mine came to mind after I read a story about sex education being taught in high school using Oscar Meyer’s weiner. ---

This should be interesting. At some point in the past signatures, including my own, began to annoy me so I turned them off. So I will see all these posts _sans sig_ and on the basis of the OP it will be more interesting because I now wonder what the hell yours actually is. 🙂 ---

After a well done steak discussion the conversation drifted into the taste difference between black and white people, and so our friendly moderator’s response has now been captured for posterity. ---

This is a line from a book we read in our book club. It’s a novel somewhat based on a period in the life of Margaret Mead, the anthropologist. I highly recommend the book. ---

I’ve been Pitted for my signature before, but the current one is fairly harmless, I think. ---

I haven’t changed mine in a long time. In honor of this thread, I’ve re-instated one of my first sig lines. It comes, of course, from that science fiction time-travel trope, The Grandfather Paradox. I couldn’t resist a one-line sendup of it. I was delighted to find, when I first posted it, that someone thought I’d lifted it from some well-known science fiction writer. Nope. It’s all mine. ---
