Signature Thread
 

What's your sig? What's it mean, whats the significance, why did you pick it?

Mine at the moment, along with my title and location (I like to keep them themed), is from I Don't Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats. I picked it cause I felt that it was time for a change, and I was listening to the Rats (though actually, the song I was listening to was Someone's Lookin' At You, but I figured more people would recognise I Don't Like Mondays).

On the left is an alien-related rebus pun. On the right is a periodically updated quote from the Bob the Angry Flower webcomic. I'm not affiliated in any way other than being a fan.

I picked it because it keeps me remembering just how he thinks of us and his office.
But, lately, his behavior does that just fine.

Um. Mine are just cause I like French. My sig is the french equivalent of 'Great minds think alike' and my title is 'Voice of Truth'- mostly 'cause I'm pretentious like that. Actually, I just like saying voix de vérité.

Frank Zappa, A Token of My Extreme, from the album Joe's Garage. These are words to live by. He explains it better than I could:

Mine is a quote from a book that I think everybody should read.

It's actually quite scary to find out how our financial system works.

This particular statement was so very much me that I've kept it for several years.

I am also promoting a friend's pet project.

It's taped to the wall in our department, I walk past it everyday and it's sort of turning into a professional motto

Underneath, I usually put some pro-liberty or antiwar/anti-statist propaganda.

Stephen Colbert is my hero. It's in the opening credits for his show. I'm one of them-there 'heroes' he's always lauding.

I don't have a signature because I don't feel that strongly about any one thing to have it appear on all my posts. Also, I tend to skip over everyone else's signatures, so I'm not sure they get read anyway.

this is why i have no tattoos

tricky thing about this thread is that sigs change. your explanation gets all fucked up when you change it. mine at present is out of 10 years gone by led zeppelin, but by the time you read this, it's just as likely to be some made up tripe that made me chuckle. anyone remember my horribly annoying signature that was like 14 inches tall and all different fonts and colors? sometimes i like to make a statement.

On the left is part of my job - a vertometer is what I use to find the power of lenses. The bottom, as LJ says, changes. RIght now it's

"Grab can, lift arm, stack can, turn around"

From Joe Jackson's Instant Mash

My favorite, and I'll go back to it, I'm sure, is "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent".

Dark matter does not exist.

User Signature: Be just and fear not.

I agree with lumberjim on this one, except I came to a different conclusion. This is *so* true, that I may get a tattoo. Words to live by. I have wolf to thank for revealing them to me, and she in turn, graciously credits the orginal author, the guy who writes the copy for the church billboard in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I thank you again, wolf. :)

The User Title, under the Member Name, is a gift from lumberjim. I'll probably change it someday. I don't often change either of them. In fact each of these is only the first change from their original text from when I joined the cellar.

LJ gets the credit for my user title at the moment and I rarely change it, except when he bestows a new one!

Sig "Living on the edge ... of civilisation" is where I am both geographically and mentally, thanks, and I like it. I'm pondering changing it to "Living it up on the edge of civilisation" .... whaddaya think? Later readers will know whether I changed it or not ... ;)
