In Memoriam - Quote Graveyard

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Please excuse this post, but I've finally got myself a siggie and I wanted to see it. It's not appeared in any of my old posts, so I'm hoping that it will appear on this one.

As this is my first, I have no old quote to consign to the graveyard. I can make one up, however:

"How extravagent you are, throwing away women like that. Who knows? Perhaps some day they might become scarce!" -- Louis Renault, from Casablanca

Fordim, it's nice that you have a signature now! You do share one problem with some other newer forum members, unfortunately, so this is a good opportunity for me to remind everyone of our guideline for signature length.

Please note that the new Downs policy is that all signatures must be three lines or less as they appear in your posts on the board.
( Barrow-Downs FAQ )

This is often a problem with poetry, since even a four-liner takes up more than three lines. That's why we ask members to find a way to keep their poem within that three-line maximum. Thanks!

Ironic, Esty- your signature's more than three lines too!

*ducks his head in newbie shame and runs off to fix it*

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Ironic, Esty- your signature's more than three lines too!

That depends on the display mode/resolution, Fingolfin - I set it up to show exactly three lines on my screen, but perhaps mine is larger than yours!

[Mariska Greenleaf]

There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun."

I'm leaving behind this wonderful quote from Pablo Picasso, and changed my sig to a more up to date quote.
RIP!

*gulp* Oh, and here I was thinking I had finally got away with it...

Ah, I see. I thought it was a bit weird, the way it was set up....

RotK Soundtrack: $15, Hobbit vest:$20, 3 opening-day tickets for RotK:$30, Fabric for Éowyn costume:$50, Starting an orc sing-along in the parking lot after the show: Priceless

RIP That sig served me well. from January, to now, late July. The prices are in some places invented, since my brother's Frodo vest came from a rummage sale, so the actual cost was less than $1 US (it was a bag sale), but that wouldn't be very believable. We did start singing a parody of Y.M.C.A. called U.R.U.K. at 11:30 pm in the theater parking lot after seeing RotK for the first time -- we got some funny looks for that!

Half of this is in some archaic, proto-demon cuneiform. And I don't like to be rude, but the other half, I think they just doodled. --Angelus

RIP. It was pretty funny while it lasted, but I enjoy my new Faith quote.
