It's interesting to see the different siggies people used to have.

I changed mine quite a few times. I'm not sure I remember which ones I had. Some of them:

*Elen sila lumenn omentielvo

*Wise and fearless and fair

*дороги трудны но хуже без дорог

*It's the work that's never started as takes longest to finish

*Everyone falls sooner or later. It's where you land that makes the difference.

And my current sig, which I'm going to change soon: I am alive for two reasons. The first I won't mention, and the second - so that I could read Tolkien.

Hm. I feel that I missed a few. I changed it more often than that.:confused:

Bye bye old siggy!

G55, has Google Translate been drinking again, or does your old sig really mean "No copy of sorrow in store"?:D

Pffffffffff! :D That's what you get when you translate literally, and kind of using synonyms. It really means something like "Don't store your sorrows for later".

Не копи печали про запас
 

My translator says, "Don't save grief for an emergency." Makes sense to me. I always whip mine out in Traffic Courts, whenever I look in my wallet, and when I consider what my someday future mother-in-law will look like. :(

"про запас" actually means "for a back-up" or "for a case of emergency". However, it is more accurate in the overall meaning the way I translated it, I think...

*pulls hand away from keyboard: must...not...discuss...Russian...!!!...*

OK. Seriously. I'm probably boring y'all to death with my Russian. Why does it keep coming up in so many threads that I post in? I have to stop.

My past two sigs:
 

To avoid problems with Google Translate (which is probably drunk again :D), the latter one means She, though the former, is true/loyal/something-I-can't-translate Russian.

I think my new signature is very appropriate, considering that those Downers who are in school/Uni are going though the same pains as I (hetic studying and exams). It means, Hold on, people! Summer is comming soon! :p

A tradition in need of reviving
 

Here lies...

...which I stole from some Dragon Age DLC (I think...I actually don't remember).

I replace it with

Laying it to rest where I can find it again...
 

It has been a very long run (almost three years, if I am right), but my quote from Sigurd and Gudrun has been replaced.

A tradition in need of further reviving
 

I hereby do lay to rest:

A statement made by a friend of mine intending to be satirical...but is completely true in every way.

I replace it with this:

Isn't that a statement made by some...one? I remember reading it while searching up someone's famous quotes. Maybe it's morm's qoute's author. But then there are so many true quotes of that nature about the government that maybe it just sounds similar.

Why yes. It was a statement made by a friend of mine who currently lives in Kentucky. ;)

It probably just sounds similar, or maybe my friend was quoting somebody and I didn't realize it.

Its life was tragically short...
 

...but necessity compels.

Here lies

To be replaced by

Exit (after a long time, and still beloved) Dead Moon:
Enter Blyth Power:

The Return to the Past, and thanks to Pitchwife for reviving the thread again
 

In my excitement about the Ten Year Anniversary Werewolf game, I forgot to properly memorialize the greatest piece of music ever written.

Alas.

Now, however, the game is finished (for over a month now) and I think it fitting, since it had a brief time in the sun (and nearly a year to the day too), to revive...

Here lies...

Forever shall the fame of that game be sung!

A tradition in need of further, further reviving...
 

Here lies...

I have chosen something a little more uplifting this time...

Laying down this signature - the most long-lived signature so far:

To be replaced with this unearthed gem:

A tradition in need of further, further, further reviving...
 

Life changes have, alas, not permitted me to be too active on the Downs recently...or indeed this year when I look at my posting history. :o

However, today in my internet rummagings I came across in a very old blog a very Tolkienesque sounding phrase that I do hereby adopt as my new signature for a time:

Therefore, I do lay to rest what has been a rather long-standing signature of mine:

May it rest in peace.
