1. I got this from a reply from Shangri-laschild in a post in General Work Chat. I don't remember which one, but I thought it was amazing and decided to use it.
2. Is a hilarious quote from JuniorMintz in War Stories.
3. Is a quote a got from Christopher Judge from a youtube clip of a convention.
I'm a rabbid RetroMUD fan and constantly log on for hours and just idle or chit-chat versus going out farming (killing mobs for exp & eq). This particular day, I was idling and I read the post about the woman swearing someone stole her trunk.
So I started simply ranting in the chat channel on how I had zero faith in humanity.
I get a tell (sort of like a pm) from Justsomedude (that is his name) and we have a discussion that lead to such quote. It shut me up for a moment and realized... it fits.
This was my favorite quote from the movie Mommie Dearest (Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford). The second one is self-explanatory and that's from one of my favorite shows King of the Hill (Hank Hill).
My first one is obviously a quote from Stephen Colbert. Any fans of the show will know that he always opens with funny comments about the 3 major topics planned for the show, with a funny caption on the screen, like a news teaser. Then he says some random funny line, follwed by "This is the Colbert Report"... my quote was the random line from that show.
The second one is from George Carlin's bit on abortion. It's something I agree with, but I figured it's too much of a politically divisive issue to quote most of it on this board; but anyone who is familiar with the bit might recognize the line was in my George Carlin calendar from a few weeks ago. I like dogs.
#1 is one of my all-time favorite quotes from a great man who is no longer with us.
#2 is a line from a show I don't watch, but a good friend of mine does and passed it along to me. It fits.
#3 is a rotating song lyric - how often it rotates depends on how lazy I am, but it's usually something that's meaningful to me and may or may not be broadly amusing.
Okay, most of you have them, and after reading the threads about screen names and avatars, I began to wonder why some signatures were used.
So tell why you chose yours and were it comes from.
I'll start.
My frist one is a quote from my BFF and yes she really said it and yes it was directed to me. And yes I totally agree with her. (I fear for my future children)
The second is from a T-shirt I saw in a catalog. I really want to buy one because it is soooo me. I have dyslexia and am always mocking my own inability to spell. (A long time ago I learned how to hide that fact, so most people can't tell. Let's just say spell check is my friend.)
