I was a bit torn about whether I should opt for the simple solution or write "Riders of The Marx" instead.

Indeed, Greenie and I are laughing at it at the moment.

I tip my hat to THE Ka for a quote from W.B. Yeats' Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry. Mr. Yeats has always been one of my favorite poets (particularly The Stolen Child), and I cherish the above-mentioned book.
Jack Madden! Jack Madden! Yours words came so bad in, the tune we felt glad in; - This castle you're had in, that your life we may sadden; Here's two humps for Jack Madden! Will that be one hump or two?

Lommy's sig looks like a "the Sims" -commercial.

Haha, thank you. I also considered using this:

Really, it's great to fun to read my first game (WWJI). Everybody's saying that I'm so quiet or hiding and that's even true - I remember that I missed whole Day1 and failed to vote on Day2 because I messed up the deadline... (Not to mention voting someone an experienced player recommended me to vote, suggesting Fea was the cobbler when the cobbler had already been lynched and being quite silly in other ways too - but I enjoyed it, obviously.) And I just noticed your sig, Rune: Quote:

You really where silent in that game. . .when I saw your sig I went back to WWJI to find a of yours, it proved to be a very hard task. I had to look through 4 pages before even seing the smallest of post.

Doubt not, nor deplore, For the hump which you bore On your back is no more; Look down on the floor, And view it, Lushmore! (Thanks! I've been debating whether to use this sig for awhile, then I lost it about a year ago and remembered what it was a short while ago. Memory is amazing at times. I think I'll bring it back.) ~ Ka

I'd like to give a thanks to Legate for his current sig, seeing a bit of Wiesel's wisdom made me smile.
~ Thankful Ka

You're welcome I "discovered" him already some time ago, mainly after one of our lecturers devoted several hours to talking about him. And I must say now I would have had a hard time choosing, because I could have chosen lots of other possible quotes from him (and only about similar topic there would be a lot to choose from). Also, I had to make the quote short enough to fit the sig, yet at the same time conveying at least well enough the central message.

I can't remember exactly where I came across Wiesel, but I believe it was after reading Władysław Szpilman's memoir. I loved reading it so much, especially the diary samples attached. There are too many reasons why, but I believe it is just his perspective and how he didn't try to politize his work or music, and instead just simply wrote what he remembered. Anyways, its nice seeing your sig around, thanks again. ~ Ka

Well thank you, the song great, but I'm a bit confused what the song has to do with what I said. I demand an explanation!!

Not the song, the quote. The song has nothing to do with you.

One of the neat things about coming back after an absence is seeing new signatures.
I rather like Morthoron's current offering. Quote:

A clever play on words, Gollum the Great. I love the song of Durin's Folk, probably the best in all the books!
Signature: No names were laid on stream or stone When Gollum woke and gamed alone.

Agreed. Although, this alteration makes me picture Gollum sat alone playing chess against himself.

You guys like it? (Well, so do I!)
I rewrote that whole song once, and it was pretty well received by my audience, save I didn't feature Gollum. I enjoy altering Tolkien's amazing poems.

Not sure if many people around here get it, but Nilp's signature just made me freeze (all right, it made me also laugh, but that's another thing).

No worries. I don't get anything from it. Such a thing can be said anytime and not be true... and then, I would have expected that happening anyway, only I don't know when, so as long as you don't give away that information, no problem.

I spent the last semester of school studying WWII. Many coming months of my life will be pretty heavily involved with research and papers regarding WWII and Nazi Germany. And yet it took Groin Redbeard's signature to remind me yesterday was D-Day.

Well, I love Nilp's sig in general, but I was looking over the WW Day and actually paid attention to everyone's for once (I was bored). Not only is it awesome by itself, but the "random" (heh, random my eye) bolded letters made it even better. Maybe I'm just a dork, but anything with subtext/code/any other form of snazzification is okay by me. Kudos, Nilp dear!
