In Memoriam - Quote Graveyard

[Lush]

Andre Nickatina did the chorus on this song about everybody's favourite white powder:

"Doin my job Connected with the mob Got President Bush, Whitney, and Bob Many others all walks of life have one on ones with meevery night"

But thoughts of rich white boys' addictions have become tiresome, and anyway, all of two people on this forum are familiar with Andre and the subject matter, and I just felt odd using it after a while.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Continuing my tradition of Aragorn "hope" quotes to go with my nick, I lay this one to rest:

Alas! I can not foresee it, and how it may come to pass is hidden from me. Yet with your hope I will hope.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

"Oh me, oh my!" I heard me old wife cry. "Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die! Oh me, oh my!" I heard me old wife say, "I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay!"

Rot in pieces!

[Elennar Starfire]

I may be a nut, but I'm not cracked yet!

This is one of my favorite siggies so far. I probably will bring it back once I run out of new siggies. I just get restless, and tired of seeing the same thing every time I post.

My new siggy will probably soon be laid to rest as well, I just have to think of something better.

[Nuranar]

I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. ~Psalm 44:6-7

I still like that one. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The new one, from Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance, has been in my head for a while. Not to mention how well it corresponds with The Ambassador's Son. I'm thinking theme song here...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I've forgot most of my four previous sigs. Ever since I shifted to "Random non-LotR Quote," I kept a record of them. Unfortunately, it's not on my person, so I put the latest of my four previous sigs here.

"The Valar be my witness, I would rather have it so, rather a beautiful Queen to thwart me and flout me, than freedom to rule while the Lady Elestirnë falls down dim into her own twilight.

May you have the rest eternal you deserve here...

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Het is een meesterstuk der Engelsen geweest hun zondag dermate heilig en vervelend te maken, dat zij ongemerkt weer naar hun dagelijks werk verlangen.-Nietzsche.

I leave this one behind. I don't know if any of you understand what it says, but maybe that's for the best, with all you brittish people around here [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

[Aethelwine]

Oh, I now what it says Mariska! I really like it... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Well, I know I said that I would change my siggie back into the

There can be no triumph without loss, no victory without suffering, no freedom without sacrifice.

quote, but I really started to love my current siggie, so it's gonna stay for some time!

Navaer!

[vanwalossien]

Verden er syk - du er medisinen!

I love that one, but it doesn't really make sense to keep it any longer, as 'operasjon dagsverk' is over a long time ago... It means "The world is sick - you're the medicine" [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Elennar Starfire]

My late latest quote was short-lived indeed...RIP

No, I'm not crazy, why would you think that?
I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the voice in my head.

I do like it...it may be back someday.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

We now approach a freshly raised mound, with five crudely made wooden crosses planted, and in the middle was a giant rock, in which these words were engraved:

Here lies five signatures, expunged by the oddities of my mind, and its penchant for continuously collecting random quotations.

1) "A few days ago, I would have done anything to keep you alive. Now I just don't care." Arvin Sloane, Alias.

2) "A man stares humiliation in the face and he asks, 'Do I know you?'" Will Truman, Will and Grace.

3) "Then plump came the Atomic Bomb. At a blow, the balance which had now seemed set was rudely shaken...The three hundred divisions were shorn of much of their value." Sir Archibald Clark-Kerr, British Ambassador to the Soviet Union.

4) "Be careful what you shoot at. A lot of things here don't react too well to bullets." Captain Marko Ramius, The Hunt for Red October.

5) "In Sneffels yoculis craterem kendele bat umbra Scartaris Julii intra calendas descende, audas viator, et terrestre centrum attinges. Kodfeci." Arne Saknussemm, Journey to the Center of the Earth.

May they rest in peace...others will be joining them soon...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

We walk a little further. There, we see another mound. The madman! you might think. Five more fell here. Who shall stop him? The Valar have not avenged themselves. The mods and the admin in their barrows have let him go unpunished. Maybe a catchy line will make him rue his regular habit of randomly changing random quotations.

6) "If I had a thumbtack, I would have made a Scud missile." Lorelei Gilmore, Gilmore Girls.

7) "Fool that I am, that I did not tear out my heart the day I resolved to revenge myself." Edmond Dantes, The Count of Monte Cristo.

8) "Ma, quit scaring my friends with cake!" Tino Tonitini, The Weekenders.

9) "This is the greatest imposture since Genghis Khan! Who is responsible for producing all this rubbish?" Adolf Hitler, Fuhrer of the Third Reich.

10) "But I just like saying 'manure!'" Salem, Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

[Balin999]

I actually don't understand why you quote Hitler. Not really tasteful, but that's just my opinion.

[Rilwen Gamgee]

I had this siggy a while ago, but I just wanted to lay it to peaceful rest. Namarie!

"I'm not short, just vertically challenged."

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

...And if I bleed, I'll bleed, knowing you don't care. If I sleep just to dream of you and wake without you there, isn't something missing?

I've decided to replace these song lyrics for something more festive. [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

-Aylwen

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I actually don't understand why you quote Hitler.

I just collect random quotes. That's it. If I happened to offend anyone with a random quote of mine, please notify me immediately. We don't want to start World War Three with a silly quote.

Thanks, Balin999. Your opinion has been helpful.

[Balin999]

Well, it is your right to post what you want and I surely don't want to start any quarrel, but I think it's strange that you post a quote of Hitler. That's all I'm going to say about that quote. If you think that it is necessary to post it, I'm fine with that.

[Theron Bugtussle]

For I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to; the long explanations needed by the young are wearying. -Gandalf, The Two Towers

[Amarantha_Daisy]

I hearby lay to rest this quote:

My Tolkien senses are tingling!

For my new one by Sir Ian McKellen. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Orominuialwen]

I have finally waded my way to the end on this thread, so now I can post. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

This quote was quite short-lived, but I like it a lot, so it may come back eventually.

Those of us who fence are just like everybody else. No, I take that back. We are cooler.

That was from a girl in my fencing club. Great quote, even though she's a raving HP fan. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

An Igloo should be strong enough to withstand freezing hobbits and howling sons of Fëanor.

That was the result of a mad-lib where I decided to make every word LotR-related. I later changed it to

Mind the howling sons of Fëanor.

For quite a while, I also had

Naur dan Robert Jordan! (Fire take Robert Jordan!)

As you can see, I don't like The Wheel of Time. PM me if you really want to know why. I really like my current sig though, so it'll probably be around for quite a while. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"If you guys throw one more shoe or one more coin,
I'm just going to leave my guitar next to my amp and there's going to be massive feed back for an hour." ~ Kurt Cobain

R.I.P, both quote and quoter...

[Orominuialwen]

I apologize for posting again so soon, but here's my former avatar (I forgot to post it earlier [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] ) Isn't it cute? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I love pugs! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Elennar Starfire]

OK, I'm getting tired of hiding, so I must get rid of this sig:

O Denethor, o Denethor/Your fireworks are such a bore/All you have is burning kings/They don't even have golden rings/O Denethor, o Denethor/Your fireworks are such a bore **hides from Meela**

*sniff* RIP *sniff*

[Imladris]

I happen to like this siggy, but I found something better. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"The wierd of today are actually the pioneers of the norm of tomorrow." -- fellow student
The cool of today are the outcasts of tomorrow." -- teacher ~ The Charilie Browns of every society are forever.

[Elennar Starfire]

Time for a new quote, but with the same theme... RIP

When the Dead do walk, seek water's run,/for this the Dead will always shun./Swift river's best or broadest lake/to ward the Dead and haven make./If water fails thee, fire's thy friend,/if neither guards, it will be thy end.

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

Replacing this lovely siggy:

It was a single cello playing/ A forgotten Christmas song/ And even on that battlefield/ The song somehow belonged/ And as he flew away/ The angel did take note/ That where he found this music played/ One always could find hope

With another one of a similar theme.

EDIT: Now that the holidays have passed (though hopefully the spirit remains), I'm replacing this siggy:

So tell me Christmas/ Are we kind/ More this day than any other/ Or is it only in our mind/ And must it leave when you have gone away/ It's different now/ It's changed somehow/ And now you're here to stay

Happy Holidays,
Aylwen

As we walk towards the graveyard's gate, we notice that a crowd has gathered a little outside it. We push our way into the gathering, the stench of the decaying signatures greet us, their letters being eaten by plagiar maggots.

You hold your hand over your mouth, in an attempt to hold back vomiting. Then, as the feeling of nausea passed, your disgust turns
to resolve, and anger towards the perpetrator. But doubt assails you, realising the seeming invincibility of the...mass quoter? Can any mortal stop him?

11) "[The Soviets] finally realized...that ten thousand warheads was enough to fry all of America eight times over when three or four times was probably enough..." Dr. Jack Ryan, The Cardinal of the Kremlin.

12) "And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it." Melchizedek, The Alchemist.

13) "Call up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry. Don't know how lovely you are." Coldplay, The Scientist.

14) "You're wondering what a place like me is doing in a girl like this." Evelyn Carnahan, The Mummy

15) "If my father dies, kings will go to his funeral. If yours die, his friends will." Lex Luthor, Smallville.

Alas, alack, and all that...it is time for this siggy to meet its maker...

"As an Elvis fan, if they name the third movie Return of the King, I'm going to start my own petition.." ~ Lionel Hutz

Heheheh..I found it ages ago no one of those crummy "Calling this film The Two Towers is an insult to 9/11" petitions..sheesh...there is a difference between TWIN and TWO...check your dictionaries, children....

[Gorwingel]

Well this quote has been here for way too long...

So does that mean I can just stand here and look hot?

I got that quote from a girl in Cross Country, and now that Cross Country has been over for months, I think it is time for it to go away.

My new quote is from the issue of Vanity Fair with Viggo on the cover. I know it makes me look like a movie fangirl, but it is just that I really liked the quote [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

[Diamond18]

So long to my truncated JA quote. I haven't decided on something to replace it yet, but I got sick of having to look at it every time I wrote a less than proveribal post. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

"I have always seen a great similarity in the turn of our minds. We are each unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the éclat of a proverb." - Jane Austen

Hello, Switchfoot!

[Evisse the Blue]

My past sigs: RIP, my dearies!

"Whatever a man prays for he prays for a miracle. Every prayer reduces itself to this: 'great God grant that 2 and 2 be not four." Ivan Turgheniev

"What would the world be once bereft
Of wet and of wildnerness, let them be left,
Oh, let them be left, wildness and wet,
Long live the weeds and the wildnerness yet."

My Finding Nemo one (fitting, that [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ): "Yes I'm a natural Blue".

The Tolkien one (Smith of Wotton Major):
"For some the only glimpse
For some the awaking" - this wonderful line's time was unnaturally short

because I replaced it with an equally short-lived mad lib to ring in ROTK:
"Movie", said the fan, "ROTK movie! I have watched you to the last, You have never pleased me and always I have scowled you. if ever you came from the forges of Peter Jackson, go now and run with full hou$$$e." which actually happened, right?

I'll also lay to rest my Edward Lear bit of fluff:
"Our Sieve ain't big,
But we don't care a button, we don't care a fig,
In a Sieve we'll go to Sea."

for a different piece of fluff, of course, but this time by our dear Profesor - it seems he and I have this little thing in common: late to bed, late to rise *when possible* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

I've been switching around with sigs lately...I went for a few holiday ones, and after that I planned on keeping one for a while but I took my time. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Before his eyes/ The music dies/ But he will always hear me.

That was one I kept for a while, and it was actually quite fitting (Like the Finding Nemo one was for you, Evisse the Blue. I love that movie!) but I eventually stuck to this one:

You cannot choose your battlefield/ The Lord does that for you/
But you can plant a standard/ Where a standard never flew.

And I like it so much I think it will stay for a while. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

-Aylwen

[Orominuialwen]

Here I lay to rest my lovely Christmas sig. It's from my favorite carol.

"God rest ye merry gentlemen/Let nothing ye dismay;/Remember Christ our savior/Was born on Christmas day/To save us all from Satan's pow'r/When we had gone astray./Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy./Oh tidings of comfort and joy!"

Edit: Of course I forget about the sig I had befor that. *Sigh* I can be so silly sometimes.

"Davo sin, davo sin, lhusso i phith saelas, davo sin..." -The Beatles, translated by David Salo

It's the chorus of Let It Be in Sindarin, translated by the guy who did all the linguistic work for the LotR movies. RIP, one of my favorite sigs. Oh well, it was time for a change.

[Alatariel]

Well, I guess it's about time to change my sig. I will probably come back to it sometime in the future, but for now, rest well.

"Hello, My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

[Elennar Starfire]

RIP

Does the walker choose the path, or does the path choose the walker?

*sniffle*

[Tinker]

Here do I lay to rest a quote or two..or three..or more. May they rest well until they are called forth again.

"Trust a Brandybuck and a Took." You heard the hobbit, trust the Brandybuck and the Took. (added 2/4/04)

All Hail Denethor, LSoG AFKot?: Lord Steward of Gondor and Firey King of the Oooops can't say that word here. (added 1/11/04)

As well as the full version of these signatures:

Disease:Tolkienitis, HS (Hobbit Strain); Symptom #34: In the middle of a onversation, subject will pause, stare at speaker for a while and say with smiling seriousness: "You have nice manners for a thief and a liar." (1/11/04)

Disease:Tolkienitis, HS (Hobbit Strain); Symptom #34:Fears to go anywhere without pocket handkerchief and Second Breakfast (2/11/04)

Do you have the symptoms?

[Orual]

Well, this was quick.

I've switched Switchfoot for Brand New (yes, lame pun intended). I still like Switchfoot, but I discovered that I'm all truly-madly-deeply for this Brand New song. So adeus to my old sig:

We were meant to live for so much more/Have we lost ourselves?

And hello to Brand New.

[Rilwen Gamgee]

Fair rest my beloved siggies:

"Silly little stray pixels! Running away from me? I SHALL CATCH YOU!!!"
