Your signature; tell us about it!

[Lace Neil Singer]

I'm making a new thread cuz I searched the forum, and the only signature thread I could find was locked.

My signature at the moment is taken from Street Fighter 4 and is one of Vega's victory quotes. I picked it cuz it seemed very poetic, and anyway, Vega's my favourite character.

Incidentally, my title is also a Vega victory quote, but from an earlier game.

Tell me about yours! ^^ Some people have very interesting signatures and I'd love to hear the stories behind them.

A friend of mine had just reached level 80 in WoW and started running heroics (note: You get your best gear by doing heroics) using the Random Dungeon finder. She gets hooked in with these asshats that have been running heroics for some time and as such, their gear is amazing. They start berating her for her low (for them) damage, so much so she gets upset and leaves. Now, she HATES running heroics. She relayed this all to me one day and I said the text that became my signature.

I saw the original (and cruder) message on a t-shirt in a mail-order catalog...JohnsonSmith, I think. Nevertheless, I expurgated the message; however slightly.

[SengaKitty]

I got tired of people saying "But you're a woman, you can't do that!" or "I don't want to talk to you, you're just a woman, you can't know anything about that!" I saw the quote that is now my signature, and I now use it in a lot of places.

My current sig is a quote from Douglas Adams' "The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe", slightly altered due to the "maximum lenght" rule.

[Parrothead]

Mine is:
Obvious
A shameless plug
and a link to a game I do.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Part one: A saying I've used so long I don't think I could ever change it. It's either first or second in the sig.

Part two: Currently a link to a good song.

Mine are rather old...might consider changing them soon. However, they're both quotes from NCIS, which was my favorite show until this season. The combination of WTF-ness and the fact that I've been so crazy busy has meant that I haven't watched many recent episodes.

[HYHYBT]

Mine"s so old I don't remember the context, but it came from this site (the "did the Titanic sink" one, since being reminded of my signature's existence I feel the need to change it.)

The new one will probably be a quote from "The Magician's Nephew" once I find my copy to be sure it's right.

[RetailWorkhorse]

I'm a Beach Bum (since I am "jobless"). I like Bacon. Beach Bum demands Bacon.

And I traded my soul for a cookie over AIM with my brother-person and he patted my head for it.

Probably the most accurate saying that I've ever heard. I forgot where I first heard it.

People who you think are complete idiots do have their moments where they show you their intelligence.

On the other side, there are those people who think they know all and can make no mistake. Don't believe it for a second, folks, they show their stupidity in more ways than one. My personal favorite is the condescending CEO not knowing how to work my kiosk when it clearly said, "Press Screen to Begin."

[JoitheArtist]

Mine is from RecoveringKinkoid, during a conversation about people who hate Lush, yet still list themselves as fans in order to write morally superior tirades on the company Facebook page.

[Hobbs]

From the female lead in the Korean movie "Windstruck." The male lead asks her to apologize, and she answers with the below statement.

AnqeiicDemise used it in a posting, it describes how I've long felt about some people, asked to use it, AnqeiicDemise said yes.


Oh! that reminds me............

My first one is pretty self-explanatory - a quote from The Colbert Report from October 2007 (it was after his little opening bit, just before he says "This is The Colbert Report!"). I love it.

The second one I put up around New Years; I don't remember where I found it. I think it was posted on a comments board somewhere (possibly a Slate.com article). There are some things in my life I need to work on changing and it struck a chord with me. I made it my sig so I would see it daily.

(Before that I had part of a George Carlin quote: "Life is a series of dogs." Someday I will have another dog.)
