We discussed avatars multiple times... but our signatures have received very little attention lately.

So - where did you get yours ? Why did you add it to every post ? And do you change it often ?

Mine is from the song "Kill a kitten" (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oOfb9XgYlk4) by Stephen Lynch. Because I like it ;)

Mine are both from posters, and they make me lol. I've found it's better to stick to quotes from other Generalites, because something has to be really good to compel me to change my sig, whereas if I put quotes from anywhere in it, I'd change it every hour.

I have a strong desire to quote The West Wing in it, but I resist, because it just gets out of hand.

The Burroughs quote was something I had been living by even before I read it.

The thing my nephew said just cracked me up.

The other one rotates whenever the mood hits, which is rare.

The last bit will have to go because someone thought it'd be a good idea to remake the movie with ^*%&*#($ Keanu Reeves. Lame. Even lamer, I'll probably see it.

The last line of CTOAN's signature was the first line of one of my essays as an undergrad (it was about Cold War culture).

As for my signature, the first bit is for - yes, shut up - the WA forum, a set of handy links.

The Goethe thing was my German teacher's maxim, and it's my favourite phrase.

The Ingersoll thingummy is a new addition, seeing as I've only recently discovered how much this guy rocks. If it wouldn't breach every known code of netiquette, I'd instead use his entire eulogy for Whitman.

The stars are pretty.

Oh yeah ....
my sig's pretty self explanatory.
I may just have to put that little ditty down about "SIGS ARE LIMITED TO EIGHT LINES!" for the obvious reason. :(

My sig option appears to be disabled - i was only going on memory about the Gort Klaatu thing, which, seriously, i saw on a cubicle wall in a movie. Perhaps one CToaN was working on! :)
Which one is that?

Like my MSN name, it changes on a whim.

My signature is part of my morning prayers, and one that I usually say a few times a day when I'm getting stressed or feel the need to control. As it starts with "God...." I changed it to reflect my personal faith.

If it was a movie I worked on you probably didn't see it...grumble...I could have worked on Milk, but nooooo...the offices were only down the street from my house...

Klaatu is the alien sent here to tell humans to cool it or we'd be wiped out. Gort was the giant killer robot sent to make sure we didn't kill Klaatu before he got around to the message. Gort, Klaatu barada nikto was the 'shut down' code for Gort when he goes all apeshit if Klaatu dies.

There, I ruined the movie for you. No one go see the remake.

It was quoted on the wall of a cubicle in some other movie. I've never seen the original "The Day The Earth Stood Still".
I have, paradoxically, watched Plan 9 From Outer Space, however.

I think mine is fairly self explanatory.

Not at all, explain!

My signature is like a Surgeon General's warning. *nod*

It's a secret message to the person who can break the code.

Mine tends to be random quotes or things I've thought up when a little inebriated...bits change quite regularly. There is no rhyme or reason to it, in truth.

My signature is always a song quote of some sort or other. The current one is from "Bad Habit" by The Dresden Dolls. Previously it was "Descending" by Lamb of God, and before that (I think) "Brutal Planet" by Alice Cooper.
I'm thinking about changing my signature, because the current quote is too bright and sparkly for my tastes. I just need to hear something a bit more nihilistic.

My signature currently contains a political compass and a quote I came up with after many people asking,

''Why would you want to join the army and die?''

I generally use the handle DragonAtma, but NSG insists that you use your nation name, soooo.....

MY formatting remains the same, but the quote changes.

I only realised yesterday when I formatted, that the default font of part of my signature was not a standard font thingo. Now I have to go and find something equally up to the task.

EDIT: looked at it again.. could be because I hadn't installed MS office yet. For you people out there, does "The SSA: Please leave your Sanity at the door" lok to be in the same font as This (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/time_lapse/logo.gif)?

No dude, I remember that it used to look like that awhile ago but not anymore.

Damn?

which office have you got installed? It seems that it comes with 07, but not 03 or XP.

ohwell, for all you weaklings out there without the right software, you now have the link for what it is meant to look like :)

Reckon I have XP mate.

Now is "07" Windows7? Or something else.

Office 07, Office 03 or Office XP. sorry.

Office 07, Office 03 or Office XP. sorry.

Nah that's alright mate, umm yeah I reckon I have Office XP.

Yes.

first part is something I read in one of those spam emails your mom sends but I figure it goes well with the forum :wink:

second part is a song by freezepop which I think will produce many smug looks

Mine is just a big, sexy link to my forum. But don't click it. You're not cool enough. Also, I have one quote that amuses me and 2 that I like. I used to have waaaay more, but now tinyurls are banned in sigs inexplicably.

My signature is like a Surgeon General's warning. *nod*

I've heard that the surgeon general's warning on packs of cigarettes actually make people want to smoke, since they've come to associate those things with smoking. I'm not sure how this related to you and your sig.

I have a line related to the UDCP and the NationStatesGeneral Parliament.
I have links to two websites and three other forums, all posted on primarily by NSGers.
And a quote, which changes when something strikes me as funny.
Yes, I must use a quote box. (Usually.)

Like my MSN name, it changes on a whim.

Co-incident? The quote "Reality has a well-known liberal bias." is my MSN name.:D

To late I already have.

My signature consists of quotes, my Gamertag and my declaration of nerd pride.

To late I already have.I see you, Guest.

My sgnature consists of quotes, my Gamertag and my declaration of nerd pride.

You forgot about your Xbox name.

Perhaps? I did borrow it from DI, who I think is one of the funniest people here on NSG net to me an LG.

I see you, Guest.

My hidden identity gone.

You forgot about your Xbox name.

See where it says ''Gamertag''?

See where it says ''Gamertag''?

No :$ oops :)

I have none, so I never add it to any of my posts, and it never changes. Also, sigs receive very little of my attention because I have them turned off =D

About the only sensible thing posted in this thread so far. ;)

My sig is Helvetian Gaulish for "Oh, dulcet blossom of the living world! Oh, my fatherland, oh, my Helvetia!"

I've considered using Dolls songs before, but never thought of something snappy and short enough. How about Jason Webley?


We've all begun to die, and don't know what to do.
Since it hurts to pray to God, when God is dying too.
Takes strength to laugh, when you start to drown.
And we dance while the sky crashes down.


or


and like that I'm up and flying
with the labyrinth behind me
but I go too high
the sun is melting through the wax
it burns it hurts I tumble to the earth
and as I fall I feel myself relax.


Present themselves as possibilities. (From "Dance while the sky crashes down" and "Icarus", respectively)

Edit: And just to brag, she did Bad Habit when I saw her live. Really awesome.

mine are just random quotes that interest me.

mine is praise for my work here on NSG over the years.


(i am most proud of both my sig and my avatar)

Mine's just a bunch of stuff in colours I decided I liked.

Google it, bitches.

Mine's a quote from Hamilay (who left a while ago now) that I think describes the NSG experience (mine, at least) most excellently.
I change my sig very rarely.

If it was a movie I worked on you probably didn't see it...grumble...I could have worked on Milk, but nooooo...the offices were only down the street from my house...

Klaatu is the alien sent here to tell humans to cool it or we'd be wiped out. Gort was the giant killer robot sent to make sure we didn't kill Klaatu before he got around to the message. Gort, Klaatu barada nikto was the 'shut down' code for Gort when he goes all apeshit if Klaatu dies.

There, I ruined the movie for you. No one go see the remake.

If you want to ruin it properly, imagine that "Klaatu barada nikto" actually means "Come here, you sexy hunk of metal." It makes that scene ever so much more amusing. :p

Google it, bitches.

I don't need to, you Duniverser.

"Long live the fighters" or something, right? Fremen saying.

Mine consists of simple truths that I have discovered form both my life and history. The first is a scientific law regarding the nature of screw ups, especially by those in authority.

The second is a mantra to live by whenever the Vegans accuse me of being a monster. Lions, wolves, sharks, eagles, and most other cool animals are either carnivorous or omnivorous, so why can't I be like them.

The last part shows what happens to me a lot. I'm clearly going to come out ahead, but some people just won't let up.

I don't need to, you Duniverser.

"Long live the fighters" or something, right? Fremen saying.
Extra rations, that man.

Always thought of it as a wonderful (fictional) saying, especially as the 'fighters' are not necessarily violent fighters, but those who struggle against injustice/for a cause. Probably the only advice of religious fundementalists I'll ever take to heart...

I knew that. and trust me. I wasn't planning on seeing the remake until after it hits the DVD shelves. ;)

Oh and "Klaatu barada nikto" was the magical phrase needed to be uttered to safely retreive the Necronomicon. :tongue:

Klaatu Barada Nikto is that general all-purpose phrase that can be used for anything.

Properly implemented, I'm sure that you could find another use for it that has yet to be documented.

I start chanting it when i am on the toilet while constipated, it always ends with positive results.
