Feel free to not stick to the sigs I mention! Feel free to discuss the topics in the sig.

What's with all the "I'm staunchly <religion>, be careful!" signatures? What value do people see in putting that in their sig?

Well, I just put my opinion in my sig, it saves me the typing time of putting it in my posts. ;)

I think the religios "I'm a catholic beware" sig things are silly. Some sigs are cool with neat links. I like reading the quotes in many. The worst are latin quotes of some obscure medevil pope.

I think the "Roman Catholic" ones are just a way for the relatively few Catholic posters here to have a sense of solidarity and fellowship. I think it's actually kind of interesting, but I expect it is aimed more at fellow Catholics than at other posters. The only sig I know which quotes medieval popes is Inqvisitor's, and I will just say that it is not his sig that is the issue. Mine mentions that I consider my religion interesting (the idea came from Lockesdonkey back in the days that I posted outside OT) and also quotes Jack Chick, the craziest fundamental Christian I have ever encountered.

What's the first line of your sig supposed to mean, Eran?

What's the first line of your sig supposed to mean, Eran?

It's from a tract (http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp) by the aforementioned Chick, which explains the spiritual dangers of Dungeons and Dragons. You see, this young woman (Debbie) had gotten involved in D&D, which naturally led to her recruitment by a coven of witches, who taught her all sorts of black magic, even going so far as to address her by the name of her character, Elfstar. But when our intrepid Christian hero told her about Jesus, she freaked and wanted out, telling him that she wanted to go back to being Debbie.

Jack Chick is so ridiculous that I felt I had to honor (or dishonor) him in some way in my sig.

Average person in OT: "Bush is a war criminal, he killed just for OIL! He set up 9/11 as a means to justify invasion! Bush is a moron! Bush is a mastermind who can set up conspiracies! Michael Moore tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth! FOX News is run by the US government and is a means to spread NeoCon agenda, while CNN is very unbiased! USA is a fascist state, they are agressors against benevolent countries like Iraq and Iran! Dick Cheney shot a man on purpose! Posting biased articles and adding an edgy little phrase like 'I wonder how neocons are going to counter THIS!' is a very effective means of argument! I believe in free speech, so long you're a liberal. Conservatives want to secure the borders cause they are RACIST!"I can only conclude that garric is so far-right that one could arguably call him fascist when he has this hateful a view of the "average" poster.

Warned for flaming. Eyrei.

BTW, damn you skadistic, your link in your sig bit me! :p

I dont believe that the "I'm a Catholic beware" are silly. I have seen other Catholics with that signature and it gives me a sense of unity and as Eran of Arcadia stated, a sense of solidarity and fellowship because there are a few Catholic posters in this thread are in the minority.

I admit that I do feel left out and lonely being in a minority in the forums that has an atheist/agnostic majority. I felt out of place after I rediscovered God and decided to return back into the Catholic Church.

Eran - I never got the Chick reference. I didn't know what it meant, because I assumed you didn't have gender-displacement issues.

Erik: in 25 words, can you explain how nihlism is contradictory?

Jack Chick is awesome. That's probably my favorite tract of his!

My general opinion on sigs... I'll quote myself:

They're like bumperstickers. No one but you cares that your kid is an honor student or that you're an atheist or a catholic crusader or that you're a whatever. Honestly, I think its an exercise in narcissim. In the US people have been socialized to think that everyone is important and special and that each of our individual feelings are so special and precious.

Guess what, there are 6 billion people on earth. Your sh*t ain't that hot.

So, why do I have one myself? Same reason my titles are always obscure... to amuse myself.

TBH, I think the forums would be improved if sigs were not on EVERY post by default.

I use it as advertizing space for threads i find interesting. It's also a handy way of finding those threads for me. I just post and look at my sig... ahem... :mischief:

BTW, damn you skadistic, your link in your sig bit me! :p

Yes yes it did. And you can be bitten once a day so feel free to click it again tomorrow and the next day and the next day..................

Erik: in 25 words, can you explain how nihlism is contradictory?Nihilism states that nothing is true. Liar's paradox! :lol:

Well, it doesn't strictly state that, but rather claims the negation of all truth and knowledge as I understand it.

Edit: And when combined with quantum fluctuations, it really makes discussions valueless. "The sun might disappear tomorrow!" (Never mind that the chance is 10^-(10^20)).

The sigs that read "poster is <religion here>" don't bother me at all, but the part "respond at your own risk" seems a bit deffensive to me.

I first noticed it "on" CivGeneral and I thought "he must be getting flamed a lot for being Roman Catholic". That didn't have to be true, but that's what I thought seeing this.

Personally, I thought that my sig might scare people.

I've seen sigs that were almost as long, but not from someone so new to CFC (welcome, by the way). The actual beliefs you espouse seem to me personally to be a bit odd, but who am I to judge? And not to be completely pedantic, but it's "Gandhi".

I have to give you props for that. :lol:

It does come off as rather angry. I am hoping Garric can illuminate us as to why it helps to be so aggressive.

Well, I have been mocked by Curt when I openly confessed that I am going to return to the Catholic Church.

@E_M: Any comments on nihilism?

@CG: Many of us have been mocked by Curt. Welcome to the club! It has a nail in it. ;) :lol:

My sig reminds myself & others that fortune does indeed favor the bold. :)

And Sidhe, if you post here, your PM box is full. ;)

by the way Tom, do you know alot about ecovillages? maybe you could start a thread about them.

I share most of your believes actually. :)

I just have a sig to make my posts look slightly less bare. "Kernow bys Vykken" is Cornish for "Cornwall for ever", and the CivIVor link is for my own benefit (searching takes so long...). 23333 is just a cool number. :p

To be honest I like sigs, they give you some kind of level on the poster and can be an interesting distraction during the lonely hours when America is offline...

Can someone summarise the "Eat Poop You Cat" issue I've read in at least one sig?

Erik: Since you used 28 words, I didn't read your statement. Kidding. I get what you're saying, you find conversing with a nihilist to be a waste of time.

Also, I neglected to say that I also update my "Karate Status:" everytime I get a new belt from a Karate Belt Promotion.

by the way Tom, do you know alot about ecovillages? maybe you could start a thread about them.

I share most of your believes actually. :)

I have done a fair amount of research, granted, some people share differences in how exactly ecovillages should run, and the size they should be. But yeah, I consider myself pretty familiar with the whole idea.

As for a thread, I will put some serious thought into that. As of now, I am doing homework, so I am a little busy, but I think I could start a thread later.

I hope it didn't give you any nightmares. And thanks for the welcome!

Not conversing with a nihilist, but rather arguing against nihilism. To my mind, it has nothing that can be refuted and no argument. It's a void. And I used 8 words. :p

i just like the sites in my sigYou might like it, it doesn't change the fact that your signature is too long !!

Max 5 lines on font 2; yours is 7 (including blank lines). Please shorten it.

I'm a jerk. I use my sig to advertise my things (CIVivor, Christianity, Wii, et cetera.) If you disagree with me, fine, I wish to argue with you. (As long as I have Moboss or CivGeneral ready to pull me out. ;) )

Tycoon: I don't get it. What are you threatening when you point out your religious views?

First line informs new posters that I am female. I got tired of having to tell people.

The second line is a really cute and optimistic quotation I came across once.

when i first started posting here, i put in really funny quotes from politicians in U.S. history, from a book i had. i ran out of the really funny ones, so i started doing something else i forget. hehe...then for a couple of months i had entries from America the Calendar, based on America the Book...those were pretty funny. now i have a bunch of links in their, hoping people will click. also, i don't know if anyone has noticed but that mark twain quote has been in my sig since the first day i registered. i think it's really worth having there. ;)

I put a new funny comment in everyday from my IM convos.

I also tried to post comments in many threads he posted in, but the mods weren't to happy about the threadjacking "mischief"

keyboard shortcuts: cool site.

I used to replace the keyboard stuff with "warning:poster is annoyed by people who put warnings in their sigs. Shut up already!"

My sig is just the Super Beaver Incorporated followed by a one-liner I found funny.

In addition I sometimes put other stuff in there when I feel like it.

This is strange, I was thinking of posting a thread of this just earlier today!

@Super Beaver

Well, after you get scared half to death once, you go down to 50% health, get scared half again and your down to 25%.

No matter how many times you get half scared to death you'll never reach death. You'll only come close. :crazyeye:

My signature is just saying thanks to Mistfit for my great avatar.:rockon: And the legendary idiot motto.:salute:

I love my quote. Maybe I should change it.

Just a quick question, how do you make text into a hyperlink?
Sorry for the double post.

text text (www.yourlinkhere.com)

@RameNoodle: Funny link. :)

My sig is a combination of quotes by me and Steven Brust, and of Civ 3 stuff I've made.

More or less Solid Advertising for various things on and arround the forum. Three of which are currently of questionable mortal status.

Hmm.

The first line of my sig is an inside joke that only people who know me and NESers will get.
The list of acronym links are links to NESes I participate in.
The link to the humourous post is the 'WW2 as a RTS' joke.
The final line is the NES I moderate.

So mostly stuff that other people don't care about. :p

I must confess that The Yankee's sig has always confused me a bit. I'd be much obliged for any enlightenment regarding it.

Thanks in advance! :)

-- My son is not a Communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a Communist...but he is not a porn star!

It's a reference from The Simpsons.

The second line is a really cute and optimistic quotation I came across once.

No offense, but it sounds like something straight off a cheezy church signboard.

In fact, I think my church used it once or twice...

It's a reference from The Simpsons.

Ah. Well, at least now I'll be able to sleep at night instead of pondering his sig. :)

Thanks much!

Well, advocating SSBB is good enough, is it not? ;)

I must say that my cleaning my signature and avatar feels...Nice.

Thank you. I tok Blackheart's recomendation to heart, and decided to show my support for Nintendo and the Super Smash Brothers series, a series that may rival Civilization.

I have no doubt in my mind that playing as Pit will be he coolest thing that I have ever done. :D

My sig, I dunno. I guess it just means that you need to have a purpose, be it in life or not.

My sig is basically civ stuff. Advertising for the Mutli-team Democracy games in [c3c] and [civ4]. I am also advertising the Inter-site Democracy Game sign up thread, where after signing up and putting up a pledge saying that you will be playing fair for our team. There is also a link to my personal forum over at civ3duelzone. Also I have a silly link there, please look at that one.

I just liked them:)

What's with all the "I'm staunchly <religion>, be careful!" signatures? What value do people see in putting that in their sig?

Unity is one thing. Some people (some religious people included) think Catholics are backwards people. I feel I must warn them that I in fact am one of them. What is the point in responding to a closed minded Catholic?

I'm also known by some for acting a bit overzealous, even though they know I am not actually overzealous. That ties in as well, too.

Let's see...
The first sentence is there to show ppl stupid limits in the civ3 editor.
The second is an advertisment for the Video Game quizz.
The third is a funny quote and an oportunity to use the newest added smiley. :)

The fourth sentence i added just now.
The "storm" is what <might> happen to me, soon... :(
Will it pass by or will it hit ? If it does, should i bow before it and live untill it comes again, what if it comes too soon ? Or shall i defy it and wage a war ? But if i would do this i will have to unearth my past ... "Where do you go when the earth becomes your enemy and there's something waiting in the air ?"

My sig is a quote from a conversation I had with a good friend on msn once.

This thread has encouaged me to put this in my sig:

I am a Non-Fundementalist Chistian. Many things in the Bible seem crazy to me, but nothing's more unbeliveable than hell! Does it make sense that a rightous a loving god would allow such a place to exist? I think not, that seems like an oxymoron to me! It was probably cooked up by missionaries thousands of years ago to scare athiests.

my sig is from The Blues Brothers, arguably the best movie ever made

Well, advocating SSBB is good enough, is it not? ;)

Nope :(

Abaddon, I think you may want to shrink your sig font a little, its gone haywire through lack of space even on my 1152X864 screen! :eek:

it's fine for me (1280x1024)

Do you use fixed width?

Don't think so, when I tried viewing it in 1280x1024 resolution the text all moved but the lines were still too big.

You've increased font size. Type Ctrl-Minus or hold Ctrl and scroll your mouse wheel, or set it somewhere in your preferences/options.

Being ninjaed is when one writes something, and either takes a pause before posting it or takes a long time writing it, and then when one submits the post, someone else has written the same thing in a shorter time or more concisely.

(22:55:06) Blank: bad monkey teacher, no teachy our child evolution!
(22:55:14) ErikMesoy: Well, that. And lawsuits.
(22:55:34) ErikMesoy: "Why are you making our child question our parenting?" is a favorite.

(22:58:05) ErikMesoy: Sometimes I want to wreak visceral extermination.
(22:58:18) Lina: I know how you feel, Erik.
(22:58:21) ErikMesoy: But I'm bound by my own morality, fighting a system that doesn't play by rules.
(22:58:47) Lina: At times I want to just pick up a gun and go into a gorey genocide of dumbarsery.
(22:58:47) ErikMesoy: Did you read the Lord of the Rings, where Gimli and Legolas speak of the coming of the Age of Men [and their own dwindling to nothing]?
(22:59:44) ErikMesoy: I feel like that. It's like I'm fighting a long defeat, and all I can do is to spend my life in that fight. Until the Shadow falls, I must preserve what I can.
(23:00:10) Lina: Meh.
(23:00:18) ErikMesoy: It's a world where the more conscious and intelligent people have fewer kids because they are the ones who realize that the planet can't support them...

(23:04:40) ErikMesoy: Do I sound emo?
(23:05:06) Outpost: I can be emo-er
(23:05:16) ErikMesoy: Whenever I feel emo, pessimism kicks in and says it's cynicism mixed with realism.
(23:05:49) EvilDarkLordi: Nah. You sound well-informed.

Ignorance, jadedness, prejudice and active evil are marching forwards, and if I try to fight back with heavy weaponry, I'm playing into their hands. So all I can do is to hold them off for as long as possible.

Don't take it too seriously, though. It popped up late in the evening after a stressful day, and right now it feels more like a reminder to be on my guard than a doom.

My new crafted siggy :)

Where did you get the Owl from?

I know that Silver Steak ripped it from El Goonish Shive (http://www.google.no/search?q=read+or+the+owl+will+eat+you&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial). Did you get it from him, or someone else?

Edit in response to below: Ah yes, IglooDude is known to read El Goonish Shive.

Someone suggested it as the new title for the folding thread... IglooDude i think... but i await being corrected.

My sig is firstly one of my favourite quotes from Blackadder. It's an amusing reminder of the level of British arrogance about the time of WWI.

Second is an editted* line from my favourite Simpsons Character. I often get called Lionel Hutz by my friends due to my line of work and since I don't mind I perpetuate the nickname :)

* Couldn't fit the whole quote in, stupid line rules, grumble

You can have 7 lines of size 1 text in your siggy, and I see 5 plus a blank line. :)

indeed, get to in man an fit it all in :)

You can have 7 lines of size 1 text in your siggy, and I see 5 plus a blank line. :)
I know but the quote takes up another two lines unfortunately. Plus, I like the blank line :)

My new one is some graffiti I found on a toilet door. The original read:

"God is dead" - Nietzsche
"Nietzsche is dead" - God

then added underneath:

"They're both dead" - Jack Bauer

I had the most awesomest sig ever!

Most time I've been here, over 4 years, my sig was "Mentally insert the finest quote you can think off"; just recently, I changed it for the lyrics of Caetano Veloso's "soy loco por tí America", probably due to the quite a few times I had to challenge people who actually had the nerve of defending the dictatorships in South America as something good.

Regards :).

Edit: Oh, and a link to my drawing pages on the web as well, too. ;)

@ Turner: Way too long :nono:

Well, I was young and foolish then. And I don't recall a mod saying anything about it, either. (this was before my modship)

No Comment ;)

Well, mine's about one of my idols, Gandhi. I used to be a complete and total A-Hole, but then I realized that people started to hate my guts. Now, I treat people the way I'd want to be treated. I don't care what people do, I'm just pretty much laid-back.

Well this thread made me change my sig- i didnt like it being too full now its short and simple.

I've had the same sig, title, and avatar for three years, and I'm damn proud of it.

Actually, I've had some good thoughts for the title. I was thinking of doing a weekly thing but that seems like a lot of work. And I'm sure I'd run out.

EDIT: Interestingly enough, I have a wide array of away messages. I love away messages.

I just updated my sig to add a link to the Jack Chick tract I quote; that guy is such a clown that I felt I would like to share his "works" with everyone here at CFC.

My sig just points to the fact that we write the story of our lives, calling ourselves "humans", not really knowing what it means and nobody will ever experience the same what we each invidually do.

If you have lost a friend with who you have shared some special moments you know that there's nobody else to remember those moments when the other one is gone but you.

So our lives are just myths.
Some myths are remembered for longer time than others but after all everything vanishes just like dust is blowed away by the wind.

About the new stuff i added in my sig:
- one of the few movies that shows the good side of Romania :)
- and Stormrage's priceless quote. ;)

They look like song lyrics to me - and a google search gives me INXS?

On-topic, my sig is just shameful advertising to the places where my art is. The 'squeaks when poked' is a blurb from a toy packaging - the squeaky 'Spooky'

http://img417.imageshack.us/img417/6734/spookysqueezelarge1zq.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

The 'Still' (squeaks when poked) was added when someone (I can't remember who it was) commented that I probably should change the phrase when I changed my avatar. Same applies to my user title.

dude.. your avatars back!

Booo.

@Erik Mesoy: That doesn't sound like any version of Nihilism I've heard of. Who espouses that?

@Slozenger: Damn. I used to be the only one on the 'Net calling myself "The Last Conformist.


As for my sig, well, the first line is a quote I happen to like, and that I use in my sigs on almost all fora I post in, as well as on most of my email. The CivIII stuff should require no explanation, and the last line is some quote I find funny or thought-provoking - I change it fairly often.

The "Warning: Poster is a [religious identifier]" things I find ridiculous. You're a Catholic/Mormon/Pastafarian/Whatever - so what? If it's relevant it'll be obvious enough, and if it isn't, who cares? And why is it a warning - am I supposed to be afraid of you? Newsflash: This is an online forum, and you can't hurt me.

I wonder who started the "Warning: Poster is a (whatever)" thing in the first place ... :hmm:

@ TLC, i know its lacking eticet (sp?) but i thought they were seperate enough for me to steal your name.. :)

I need to check my sig length / ignore post

I have no problem with the "warning: poster is a Wiccan Scientologist". They are not so much bragging or showing of their intellectual strength as just showing solidarity or whatever with their fellow (in most cases) Catholics. I did sort of the same with my title, because it fits my current avatar; I am not bragging, just saying is all.

dude.. your avatars back!

Booo.

I LIKE this avatar.

I may alternate between the two as I see fit though ;)

What's in my sig?

Ah:
Triarii's Ship battle game. (Join, or you die!)
The Peaceful Valley Pony Commune country from the 2nd International Game by Lockesdonkey.
And a sage quote from my pal, Perfection. :)

It has now twice as many members, all the forums have many topics, there aren't any empty forum any more, we've got a global moderator (Theoden, from CFC) and we have a Succesion Game going on there!

That is not going to happen anytime soon. It is like you heretics are anti-Catholic or something. It is time for the stakes. :p

I feel I must warn those that think religious people or Catholics are uncivilized and backwards that they are dealing with such a person. I have already explained that earlier in the thread as well as a couple of other reasons (unity; 'in character' attribute*).

(*See first three sentences) ;)

Get it now?

I'm actually not happy about people using it or variants w/o actually understanding it. There is nothing I can do about that, though.

(22:58:47) ErikMesoy: Did you read the Lord of the Rings, where Gimli and Legolas speak of the coming of the Age of Men [and their own dwindling to nothing]?
Thanks a lot, Erik, it's been years since that depressing thought ran through my mind. :lol:

My signature varies-- sometimes I put links in it, other times something I find funny or poignant or important, usually quotations.

My sig is so great! My sig is so great! Everyone loves me because my sig is so great!

Mine is one of my favorite quotes (several of my favorite quotes are from Thoreau), a link to a mod I made, and and a token of thanks to Mistfit for making my avatar a transparent .gif. It used to be Frank's head on a white background. There's also a link to LiveScience.com, a website full of articles on science, technology, and history. The sig quote used to be my favorite Civ3 diplomacy line...

"The Aztecs salute you! Shall we trade together, or would you prefer to do battle until one of us is wiped off the face of the planet?"

It was up there for...well, since I registered here up until two months ago, actually. I decided it was time for a change of sorts.

I try not to change my sig too often. Too much work!

But I added the "FEAR MY SIGNATURE" becauze I developped a ending sentence in the CIVIVOR thread. I tought it would be funny! I call it my auto-fearing.

I change my custom user title more often!

The first line of my sig is about my favourite AFL team, and 1 of my favourite players.

Second line is a link to my reviews of all the C3C civs. So far i have done 7.

Third line is a link to that zombie page.

Fourth is a rarely updated track of my pc and ppd.

Fifth line shows the levels i can win Civ 4 and Civ 3 at.

Sixth is the Team MIA slogan (Civ 3 MTDG)

Seventh is a pointless warning.

The Butcher from Diablo. I just like the sound of his voice:D

I didn't see (m)any: "Warning the poster is a [any other religion except catholicism]."

:goodjob:

If you're gonna have seven lines azzaman, they really should all be size one.

My sig has in the moment three parts:
First the slogan of the World Cup 2006.
Second my favourite quotation of Nietzsche. A rather unknown notice from his estate, which is still topical - even 100 years after written.
Third a very bad translation of the second ;)

My Signature is very simple

A link to a website where your brains will be eaten by a zombie

And (at this time) a quote from Igloodude talking about a pedophile polictical party in the Netherlands

That's not a bash-fest invitation by the way :gripe:

yay! MegaTokyo (http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=1) fans!

I just keep a couple relevant or thoughtful quotes on my sig, changing them when I come across another one. And a link to our folding team, and a couple wasteful blank lines. :)

Typos, and I realize I had another word misspelled alos.

Edit: And of course, while I type about typos, I have a typo. Geez.

Nothing special here.. last couple of years I'm more around Sports Forum anyway. ;)

I added a new line in size 1 font in a color that hides on most forum styles.
"Conservative: Someone opposed to progress. Liberal: Someone supporting freedom, from libre. Ha ha ha."
It's a direct parody at the sig "There's no such thing as right and left anymore. There's only right and wrong."
I used to have a longer version of it reading "Conservative, adj. Wishing to prevent change, from Latin conservare." "Liberal, adj. Supportive of freedom. From Latin liber, meaning free."

Your sig changes quite a bit, I've notice, Erik. Do you change them so frequently on other forums?

That's a quote from Ronald Reagan's most famous speech, "A Time for Choosing (http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/reaganatimeforchoosing.htm)"...sometimes called "The" Speech.

@CC: But the original doesn't use "right or wrong" in the same overloaded (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overloading) way, it uses "up or down".

@E_M: Not really, since the other forum I live on doesn't have a length limit. Just a common courtesy not to use more than a screen height. So I can delete stuff as it gets old, rather than as I think of new stuff.

"How am I doing" tracks my chess rating. :)

I recently added a fun quote from Tycoon. :)

Mine is just part of my plea bargin........

once i was beating those stink zulus with my immortals and, from out of nowhere, right in the ancient eras, it was pretty sure the beggining of the game, that motherfu**ing ottomans came with about 10 sipahis and beat the hell of me and the zulu. i lost. and i laughed so hard i couldnt bare it. i dont know, but i like to think that it was some bug or something.

oh hell, noobies are hopeless. XD

Mine used to say

Warning: Above poster is a douchebag.

But then Padma changed it.
So I have a genuine mod action in my sig. :D

Other lines are awards from NES.

I have links to the ISDG and the two MTDGs going on here in my signature, hoping to get more people interested. I also have a link to the second Demogame Cage Match, with a link to my spoiler. I wish we could know how many "hits" each link gets.

Im getting a little sick of "warning, poster is a so and so".

Anyways, mine is the link for my blues band. We're kind of a big deal :)

My sig is alot of modding stuff, basicly. Also a link to my blog, the Hunger site and a quote. Nothing special.

I've always thought it might be an idea to write something totally outrageous as a sig and not conform to it in the slightest, sort of a totally throw people off guard stance, but it's too late now. For example: warning poster is strict worshiper of the sect of the dark Gods of Nijhal and will brook no opposition from false proselytising religous nuts, Catholic protestant or otherwise, kindly keep your religion to yourself, or we start doing wierd rituals to divine your location. You have been warned....;) :D

Mine atm is a random quote I found on the internet, I have no idea who Maya Angelou is, but I liked the sentiment.

I like my new sig. And my new title. I'm keeping the avatar though. That's how people recognize you.

Im getting a little sick of "warning, poster is a so and so".

lol, well you can guess what I think of it. :)

My sig is from a Bowie song

Loving the alien (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_the_Alien)

Dang, I did not know that part of my sig is tiering and annoying to other people. I just use it (as I said earlyer) as a form of solidarity with other Catholics since there are so few of us around this forum.

don't worry about it.

what's the Luke quote mean?

Mine atm is a random quote I found on the internet, I have no idea who Maya Angelou is, but I liked the sentiment.
It's the psuedonym of Marguerite Johnson, an American authoress.

Anyways, mine is the link for my blues band. We're kind of a big deal :)

Matt, how do you switch between drums and harmonica, that must be a little tricky..?

I'll have a listen once I set up some sound to this computer :)

Great and true quote about Johnny Cash
Links to my favorite threads.
Link to a Buffalo Beast article about the devil.

Good sig.

Okay, Cleric's new title has me laughing up a storm. You'd have to be used to his posting style to appreciate it

And Raisin Bran's "it's not a world war until france surrenders" is remarkably impolite, but hella funny.

I guess it wasn't a world war, then?

It's still funny ...

Yes it is :lol:

I saw that yesterday on TV just tought it would be funny .... guessed I was right.

I don't know who said that in the first place!

I also took off the Buck 65 song lyrics from my sig. :D

Matt, how do you switch between drums and harmonica, that must be a little tricky..?

I'll have a listen once I set up some sound to this computer :)

It is a little tricky, and as such, I'm not the regular harmonica player for my band (on our recording, I actually only play drums). I have a harness, similar to the one that Dylan (or anybody who plays harmonica and guitar) uses, and move a mic under my head. Its pretty tricky, because you have all 4 limbs doing something different, AND your mouth. I'm getting better at it.

For a few of the slower songs, I actually leave the drumset and come to the front of the stage, and we go to two harmonicas. Its somewhat of a novelty, but you can do some cool things with it (distort one harp, run the other through a different system, do harmonies, etc). The crowds love it.

I hope you like the music. I admit, the recording quality is not so good...mostly because of our current shoestring budget (we had to use a crappy electronic drumset, since we dont have acsess to drum mics...and the drums sometimes fade in and out)...but I hope our musicanship still shows. It might seem like a copout, but we're better live, until we raise enough money/meet people to make a better recordings, its all we got

The last of the four on your site - I'm Ready - is good! Swinging well, nice and loose, good stuff :)

Ever listen to Tony Joe White? Thought it's a different sound (swamp rock) you might enjoy his harmonica.

Eh, Just a few links about lifestyles/organizations I think are positive. ARA is a totally awesome organization I'm involved with in the northeast, but they're doing awesome work down in jackson mississippi trying to keep the last abortion clinic in the state open against army of god/operation rescue screwballs.

And the last is just a denial of the openly fascist sentiments croppin up in a lot of circles lately.

Can't people go into a hospital for an abortion?

The last of the four on your site - I'm Ready - is good! Swinging well, nice and loose, good stuff :)


Hey ... that IS good stuff!

In some places yes, where it's not an option clinics take the demand.
I think 89% of hospitals don't do abortions and 70-80% of med school students don't learn the process of doing an abortion. That's why ARA feels this clinic is worth fighting for. The army of god is right by saying that if they shut down this abortion clinic they will extremely, perhaps entirely erase abortions in mississippi.

Hey ... that IS good stuff!

Thanks! I'm glad you (and Ironduck) like it. :)
Hopefully, by the end of the summer, before I leave, we can get a more professional recording up there

I hope you bring your harmonica and keep playing, would be a shame not to.

I thought abortions were seen as a medical issue and as such a right for people? It strikes me as grotesque not to.

Edit - btw, of course they won't erase abortions, only visible abortions. Welcome to the shady world of the back room clinic.

I thought abortions were seen as a medical issue and as such a right for people? It strikes me as grotesque not to.
some people, myself included find it morally repugnant.
not much point in any argueing, nobody will give an inch on either side.
edit: seriouly, dont try to argue about this. its pointless and stressful.

Ironduck: how come you've never made a sig? Heck, you've never taken a user title!

(Though I've seen you switch avatars)

It is a medical issue.
But they're harrassing the clinic till it closes anyway.
Actually, they're just erasing abortions for the poor though.
Rich folks can afford to travel a couple of hours if necessary.

I kinda like my user title as is, no need to mess with it ;)

As for sigs, I've never had one. I just put one in my email the other day for the first time.. here it is:

Har du sett min villa
min Villa Villekulla-villa
vill å vill du veta
varför villan heter så?

What does it mean?

It is a medical issue.
But they're harrassing the clinic till it closes anyway.

This is quite topic-drifty - but I remember hearing about a bill which would make it illegal to transport minors out-of-state for getting abortions.

If people want to discuss this issue, please make a separate thread.

Ironduck: Lindgren?

Ironduck: Lindgren?

Touché - though I bet you googled it :p

Pyrite, it's from the Pippi Longstocking song..

Have you seen my villa
My villa-villekulla villa
Do oh do you wanna know
Why my villa is called so?

I didn't know what to put in my sig but I felt lonely without one so I just put that crap below... :blush:

mormegil; look up "quotes" on google. plenty to chose from.

www.coolsig.com has some good stuff. At least, they did. I haven't been there in a while.

I didn't know what to put in my sig but I felt lonely without one so I just put that crap below... :blush:

I think it's a brilliant sig. :goodjob:

It's short and unique. I say keep it that way. :)

Mine still kicks ass - now with new quotes :)

MobBoss: what's your opinion on the nonconformist quotation in your signature? I recall the conversation, but what message do you intend with portraying that part of the conversation?

Leatherneck: Doesn't your sig encourage people to (even more) think of the Hezbollah problem as a religious problem (i.e., encouraging Christian fanaticism?)
Edit: well, Google is alive with this quotation, though I couldn't find an actual source. I'm surprised he actually said something like this (if he did). That's pretty scarey.

Check out my first ever signature here - pretty happy with it :D

I think Sophie called a liberal "anyone who is to the left of you"

Trust you to finally put nudity in your quotation. What did you say to rile him up so?

Yeah, I told Sophie it was the best definition I've ever heard :)

I didn't say anything other than what I've said a bunch of times.. I don't see why we should legislate for what people should wear in public. If the majority decides then where do we draw the line? Should everyone wear burkas?

The human body is what it is. I will never understand people being offended by it, don't they have one of their own?

edit - oh and it was in the breastfeeding thread

I just had to use Gandhi quotes, they're good ones. There's some other stuff there to that's interesting, but it's mainly about Gandhi.

I think it was a most dispicable thing to say. That apparently when bad things happen, they should only happen to soldiers since they are responsible for everything bad that ever happens. As if soldiers are not people too, with families and wives and kids as well. Total crap.

The message I am sending with it, is that even people opposed to war will dehumanize their opponents in order to morally justify the things they say. In doing so, it makes them no better than the people they would oppose.

I am just thrilled TLC put a quote from me in his sig. Recognition!

And I have added a few lines to my sig recently, as well as a bunch of links. Now I am helping to spread the truth about the evil influence of Dungeons and Dragons!

My signature is spawned by my undying love for Senator Blutarsky, who is by all accounts a true politician.

My sig has a secret message!

I have all the important things mentioned in my sig.
and then there are also mentions about my graphics for civ3...

My sig has a secret message!

I know what it is too. :p

Black style sucks

mine is yet another great mike tyson quote!

what do you think of my signature

I cant remember mine

edit:Mine is a quote that a hobo says to you in an comodore 64 game called wasteland(my avatar is the games world map), you give him this thing called snake squeezins and he tells you to lean close so he can give you some advice. When I first read that line, becuase of the sorry state I was in in the game and in real life that one seems to have stuck with me for whatever reasons.

I recently changed mine; it's the words of Herbert Morrison commentating on the Hindenburg disaster.
An earlier sig of mine was Ah, Humanity!--the closing words of the Herman Melville short story Bartleby the Scrivener.

what do you think of my signature
It disobeys forum rules by being 6 lines long (lines with nothing still count)

Now that we got another gear in the egoistic drive...

Mine is just four quotations from Arthur Schopenhauer.
Some observations which I found to be clinically truhtful and brutally honest.

But why point out your opinion on the use of the word 'warning'?

MobBoss: Okay, the statement irritated you. Why drag it around? It's got to bug you every time you see it. As well, do you disagree that it's the soldier's job to risk their lives to save civilians?

My sig now only has a link to my mod. :smug: And a short "review".
