The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
Boots Ashes to ashes ...

OK. Time to lay my old sigs to rest here.

My first and most appropriate, to which I shall one day return:


Quote:
And inside they saw the strangest little man, dancing the strangest little dance! He had saucepans and kettles hung all over him, he wore a saucepan for a hat, and he crashed two saucepans together as he danced!
And then a series of quotes from modern English icons that I found amusing and surprisingly relevant:


Quote:
I think it was John Lennon who said: "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.", and that's how I feel. Although he also said: "I am the Walrus, I am the Eggman" so I don't know what to believe. ~ Tim Canterbury ~

Quote:
I'm not from these parts, I'm from a little place called England. We used to run the world before you. ~ Ricky Gervais ~

Quote:
We should thank our collective parents for bestowing on us the gift of rock. ~ Justin Hawkins ~
But for now, I am content with a highly relevant (to me) quote from a slightly older English icon.

I've finally decided on a new sig. Here was the last one:
Quote:
Frodo Lives!
"By Elbereth and Lúthien the Fair," said Frodo with a last effort, lifting up his sword. "You shall have neither the Ring nor me!"
RIP

It as said in a movie with Mr. Gollum himself. (Can't remember the name of the movie though)
RIP.

Narya Sig change!

First,

Quote:
I was thinking; are you thinking? If you think I think you're thinking, then I think you shouldn't think at all.
composed by yours truly.

Now,
Quote:
It's always times like this when I think of you/
And wonder if you ever think of me...
from A Thousand Miles by Nessa Carlton. A lovely, melancholic line with the word "think" twice.

Alas i leave my 2nd quote:
Quote:
Gil-galad ech vae vaegannen matha, Aith heleg nín i orch gostatha; Nin cíniel na nguruthos Hon ess nín istatha:
Aiglos
It's the inscription on Aiglos, Gil-Galad's weapon during the Last Alliance!

It's been a while since I've had this sig, but I thought I should put it here anyway. Sniff sniff! Goodbye, sweet sig! And may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!

Quote:
I read banned books.
So short, yet so revealing.

And my other favorite...

Quote:
You look strangely familiar... Have I threatened you before?
Oh Jack Sparrow, it is with a heavy heart that I abandon your psychotic pirate banter and replace you with nonsense!

And how can i forget...

I love poetry.

sniff sniff
