If Hatrack allowed sigs, what would be your stunning contribution?

I'm not lobbying to add signatures to our forum. Just curious that's all.

My sig on other forums is "It's ironic that it was because of children that I stayed home all these years. Now it is for the sake of the children that I'm traveling all over the world." ~Audrey Hepburn

I don't know if that'd be my sig here!

Unless it violates copyright stuff, I would have:

"I can't be contented with yesterdays glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing"

One of the best I've seen is on 'Sake. It's a shot of the guy and his robots from that show on SciFi (the name escapes me). The guy is pointing up saying "What a lame post!"

I give that one a "10" on the CrackUpscottneb-o-meter.

I'd have trouble choosing.

For fluff stuff, I'd favor this:

quote:
"It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man." -- Jack Handy
For serious posts, I'd favor this:

quote:
"A free and open society is an on-going conflict, interrupted periodically by compromises." -- Saul D. Alinsky
Or maybe I'd just go with this:

quote:
"That's the beauty of it...it doesn't DO anything!"

Over at mildlyamusing.com, I have a parody of Billy Joel's "The Entertainer" called "The Newsgroup Poster" that contains the following verse:

quote:
I am a newsgroup poster, whose .sig's a mile long
It's got an ASCII picture, a quote from my favorite song
It's got my email address, and my website's URL
My "handle," too, and my ICQ
A techie quote, and an inside joke
That I have with my friend Will.

Current sigs on other forums:

"History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men-Godzilla!" (Blue Oyster Cult)

You do reach the point where remembering does not overwhelm you as it did in the beginning. You survive to see the day when you can love and laugh and enjoy the sunshine without feeling you are betraying your child by doing so. You realize that on the contrary, you are living his unlived years for and with him. We heal, but we remember, and living with the memory is part of the healing" Rabbi Harold Kushner

I don't have one, but Alucard's reminded me of a cool moment from X-files.

quote:
Life is like a box of chocolates: a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefineable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an english toffee, but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappings.

Mine changes fairly often, usually a quote from the Internet or hatrackers/galactiqueros that made me giggle. Unless the hatracker/galactiquero in question decides to erase said quote, deleting any evidence that the quote was said.

My currently oldest one is:

mostly because I haven't come up with anything better that I feel like putting there. My current favorite is:

Being a HUGE X-Files fan, and holding a fond place in my rotten heart for TCSM, I weep at your quote.

Sadly, mine was not from there, specifically. But nevertheless, that was beautiful.

I went to a Girl Scout Camp. It was one of the older songs that I liked (along with Blowin' in the wind). They don't sing that kind of stuff there much, anymore. I went back as a councilor and had to help teach some of the older songs to the staff.
