Mine is a quote from J. Wellington Wimpy of the Thimble Theater (AKA Popeye) comic strip. Wimpy had talked Popeye out of eating a potato, claiming that it looked like his uncle. It was just another of Wimpy’s scams, of course.
“Media’s” being the contraction of “Media is”.
To expand I might say, “I don’t believe the main stream media reports the news with a bias towards liberal political views.”
But that is just not pithy enough.
And what happened to my sig in Post 18?
Self explanitory, really
My name is a character from a book chosen at random from my book shelf the night I signed in.
The book is Steve Perry’s The Man Who Never Missed.
After I posted in this thread, I wound up in an off-board twickster about why I think the Simpsons is great art. I think I did pretty well for myself but she wasn’t convinced. So she said “Good post. Eloquent…”
(bolding mine)
You actually ended up in a twickster? :eek: ![]()
Mine comes from the thread about whether humans would make good pets for a race of Alien Overlords. I opined that we would not, because we would constantly be trying to kill them to win our freedom. Lemur866 replied to one of my posts with the line that became my sig, and which I consider to be one of the highest compliments I’ve been given on this board…
Mine’s from my near-perfect record of getting referred to as “she” at least once in almost every Mafia game I’ve ever played online.
Well, I’m dead. :smack: I was saying ‘ended up in a converation,’ of course. I don’t know if my sig displayed with that last post, but if not, it’s this:
Mine’s from Walt Whitman, and I think of it as the perfect CYA for any inconsistancies in my posts or opinions.
Jeez, then I go ahead and forget to add the damn sig.
Really gotta lay off the aluminum-based deodorants…
Mines from the excellent movie made from Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse Five”.
Really the best movie, IMHO, made from a Vonnegut novel.
:smack: I feel totally stupid (again.) I have read come to this thread several times and it is only now dawning on me what was *really *asked. My apologies.
Mine’s a paraphrase of a Famous Martian.
It’s from a song. If I ever have a dynastic house and am granted arms, it will be the motto.
I just changed mine this week when we added the titles. It seems self-explanatory to me.
There was a thread called What is time, anyway? or something like that. I must have been in Mad Poet mode, and I posted this. I don’t think it drew any comments, but I like it. It may have been the only time I was ever in Mad Poet mode. I don’t even know the cheat code for that.
I’m lazy, so that explains my sig: nothing
