My IRL signature used to be ABrenecki in cursive, but now looks like AB<squiggle>ee<squiggle>i .

My forum signature is also blatant advertising for the only PHP app I ever wrote to reach something resembling production use, and my last.fm charts, abbreviated to 3 items (2 on the last one) to keep things short.

I agree with LE4d wholeheartedly. And it's MY SPOT, leave it alone!
The stabbage contains a secret message.
There's not much to say, really. This thread seems to just be a preservation point for peoples' signatures...

by **Gelsamel** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 4:00 pm UTC

The possibility exists that I will discuss my signature.

by **Mighty Jalapeno** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 4:02 pm UTC

Seems pretty obvious... I reproduced. Here are the fruits of my forbidden passion. They're forbidden passion fruit.

MJ, can I have a donut bagel cookie burger too?

Edit: Donut is too a word Firefox.

by **pyrodude150** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 4:20 pm UTC

Is it acceptable to use the same quote as your sig that someone elses uses for their sig?

ex. User Kaiyas uses this as part of his siganture

clintonius wrote:This place is like mental masturbation

i found this quite clever, but, in the favor of originality, i was questioning the morality of using this as well, since he used it first

anyway, if anyone can inform me of the procedure regarding this situation, it would be appreciated

by **Cheese** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 6:00 pm UTC

It's not against any rules, but it's probably considered impolite to do that, especially if the other person's sig still contains that particular quote.
Don't worry about grabbing sig quotes too quickly; there's bound to be something else you find particularly amusing posted within a few days anyway. If all else fails, you can wait for someone to mention Narsil and penis in the same sentence, or get one of those meta-sigs that involves people talking about sigs.

Well, lately she gets confused when we get drive-thru, because she thinks ANY place that sells food sells ALL food. We went through Tim Hortons to get bagels for the kids, and she demanded a cookie. We said, no cookies, it's almost dinner. You can have a bagel with cream cheese...

Her: Bagel?
Us: It's like a cookie, with a hole in it.
Her: Tim Ho-tons! Donut!
Us: No donuts, too much sugar. You can have a bagel.
Her: Want burger!
Us: They don't have burgers here.
Her: That burger!
Us: (looking at picture) That's a breakfast bagel.
Her: Want bagel! And cookie!
Us: No cookies. Do you want a bagel with cream cheese?
Her: YES!!!!!!
*we get drive through, and pay*
Her: Where's my donut bagel cookie burger?
Son: She got a donut?
Us: No, she didn't.
Her: I got a donut!
Son: SHE GOT A DONUT! I WANT A DONUT!
Us: NO-ONE HAS A DONUT!

EDIT: Also, no-one on here had anything to say about my son's quote?

heehee. Mine is a quote from [one of] the most amazing comic books ever.

Rorschach says it in Watchmen on like.. one of the first couple of pages actually ^.^ amazing story. Movie comes out in March. I'm excited beyond belief *bounces*

by **Rinsaikeru** » Sat Sep 27, 2008 12:54 am UTC

Mine occured to me at about 5 am the night after I went to see Evil Dead the Musical. And I wrote it down. Or, I suppose typed it out is a clearer statement.

by **eristic** » Sat Sep 27, 2008 1:59 am UTC

Mine: Catching a fellow xkcd member in her slight naivety. One of the best sigs.

I would say it is pretty awesome. You have a budding Gordon Freeman on your hands.

SCIENCE!

That's one of my favorite sigs around here.

I've missed you. And your avatar and particularly fitting title. And your awesome sig-based haiku. :D

by **eristic** » Sat Sep 27, 2008 11:09 am UTC

Cheese!

Ya, life has kept be much busier than I can nearly handle. I haven't had nearly as much time to browse the forums as I'd like. I'll be posting regularly again soon enough :)

by **CVSoul** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 2:56 am UTC

My sig is simple now. A link to my blog, and a REVERSE RICKROLL which I myself invented, or at least came up with on my own. Only one person I know of has fallen for it so far.

by **Zak** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 3:00 am UTC

There isn't much that can't be improved by a good brow waggle.

by **pyrodude150** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 4:20 pm UTC

where might one find sigs like this guys

by **SecondTalon** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 4:25 pm UTC

this guy's. Possessive, not plural.

And here, if you must.
Most of them are clickable, if the person did it right.

by **Antimony-120** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 5:15 pm UTC

Definitely just used that achievement creator for my new sig. Lame, but I wanted a graphic.

by **bigglesworth** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 8:38 pm UTC

I just changed my sig, since i've left the mod I was involved in.

Since i'm in my first year, I think that makes me level one? I might put some skills up some time.

by **neelakantankk** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 9:02 pm UTC

The one I sign with is just my name.

The one that appears below my post... Heh heh.

by **michaelandjimi** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 7:38 am UTC

I got it off that Haistfu guy in the thread in Your Art and links. See here. I like it.

by **schumi_girl** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 7:52 am UTC

Mine used to be a Daria quote, with a line of lyrics from Howie Day.

Now it's three lines of dialogue from Buffy.

by **zachary** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 3:21 pm UTC

After a long stint celebrating bacon with my sig, I've decided to move onto a public service announcement warning about sasquash attacks. That's right. Not "sasquatch." Sasquash.

WATCH OUT.

Also, did you know pumpkins were a squash. Also a fruit for that matter.

by **Benfrenchman** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 4:00 pm UTC

Mine is a verse from one of the most achingly beautiful songs I know, and a brief explanation of my background and geographical situation put there in the vain hope that people in the ban thread would stop banning me for being confusing.

The song is "Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je taimerais" by Francis Cabrel. The translation of my sig is something like:

The world has so many regrets
So many promised things
One alone for whom I was made
I loved you, I love you, and I will love you.

you know, it's a true story.

by **Decker** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 2:24 am UTC

The line is from the last Volume of The Sandman. It always gets me. :cry:

You rang?

Spoiler:

My real signature has a legible large D and squiggles behind it.

The ones here are things that I found funny that I have read.

I Feel Alone. (v_v)

Because I do.

Crumpets = awesome

by **cerbie** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 7:12 am UTC

I had no sig.
I lol'd, at Falmarri's(sp) expense.
I sigged what made me lol.
It's deep; I know.

by **Gojoe** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 7:36 am UTC

I used to have a ballad MaJ wrote me... Now it is just a link to a youtube video of Jesse singing.

(And I know what was in Cheese's sig from when we swapped... Good times, good times.)

by **existential_elevator** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:06 am UTC

New sig alteration:

"In short, they privatize gains and socialize losses, an economic philosophy also known as Heads-I-win-tails-you-lose."

MS wrote:I'm wearing crossbow-resistant amulets and lesbian-retardant pants. Bring. It. On.

The first is a quote from ThePain on America's political philosophy at the moment.
The second is a reference to my alt-persona in Mother Superiors wonderful gmod comic, Worse than Life

Mine's something that Mega said once, for some reason. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but it can stay, I suppose.
