Mine is something of an Animaniacs reference and is often true. I also use it on every board I post on, just for continuity’s sake.

Hmm, mine have ranged from obscure to just ‘cheers’. The current one down below is because I find Lionel Ritchies ‘Hello’ video hilarious.

I may change it back to ‘man, I _hate_ the Beatles’ though. Which should tell you everything you need to know.

I wish the sig box was still automatically clicked.

Anyway, mine’s a quote from a strange little comice, I Feel Sick, written by one Jhonene Vasquez. I love the way he uses language - just by rearranging words, he can make a sentence funny.

When I changed my sig to this one, I almost put up “Babies: They’re chewable!” (another IFS quote), but I decided against it.
