Bêthberry · 07-03-2005, 07:54 AM

I suspect this is really not what The Squatter of Amon Rûdh had in mind when he started this thread, but the Doctor Who fan in me cannot resist this.

I gleefully nominate Hookbill the Goomba's signature with its Doctor Who take on the llama song.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-03-2005, 08:10 AM

Thanks Bêthberry. Glad to be noticed.

Gil-Galad · 07-03-2005, 10:00 AM

wow, with that song i now understand the entire show...

Saurreg · 07-05-2005, 05:01 AM

Gil has a great one.

Amanaduial the archer · 07-05-2005, 09:28 AM

Not sure that I agree, Hookbill - the Llama song is still utter genius, but still very, very cool

Esgallhugwen · 07-05-2005, 10:39 AM

Thanks Estel, I can't believe I got sick in RL than choked on a tree frog in the game, gah! I should go and read the rest of the thread when I have time.

I love your sig Gil-Galad, from redvs.blue, I love Caboose!

Gil-Galad · 07-05-2005, 03:37 PM

thanks Esgall... i played Caboose in my drama class...quite fun actually with the voice and everything

Kitanna · 07-08-2005, 10:34 AM

I like Gurthang's "I remember when..." signatures
"I remember when...
People did not have a 'graduation' from kindergarten."

I was totally unaware there was such a thing.

And I also like Mithalwen's
"If anyone catches me volunteering to organise anything ever again they have my permission to take me out and shoot me"

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-08-2005, 10:50 AM

Oh there's such a thing, Kitty... such a thing indeed. And you know what? The school I went to Kindergarten for did not have it. The school I came to in first grade... did. Quite depressing, really.

You know what I remember? When backpacks didn't have wheels. Because you carried them on your back.

Actually, I love your sig. Blazing Saddles is such a fantastically hilarious movie.

Why thank you.
And I too remember when backpacks didn't have wheels. It was a glorious time, then they were invented and the world turned into shambles.

Eomer's new siggy confuses me. Play with me bird? Is he asking a bird to play with him? Or is he saying "Play with my bird" in a piratey fashion? Does that translate into French?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-10-2005, 08:53 AM

It's very sweet and innocent. Childlike, yes?

I wonder if it can withstand potential Werewolf signatures, though.

Quite the opposite, considering "bird" is British slang for woman.

Yes, I know it doesn't translate into French. And don't care.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-11-2005, 07:05 AM

That's why I said it was innocent. I never use 'bird' to mean 'woman'. A horrible practice, I reckon. Anyway, en francais looks and sounds so much better.

I like foreign language signatures. I remember someone once had a signature in Russian which I used to stare at admiringly. I seem to remember one sig in Spanish. I cannot remember to whom they belonged, or have any idea as to what they meant. Mine is easy to decipher.

Here's a question: Does anyone try out a new signature and then change it immediately? That's what I was doing on Saturday. I couldn't find one that fitted, so I went a day without a sig until I thought of a new one.

Holbytlass' made me laugh:

The Only Real Estel · 07-13-2005, 11:38 AM

I like Gurthang's latest "I remember when..." sig:

Quote:

I remember when...
Fourteen-year-olds didn't have their own cell phones.

Gurthang · 07-13-2005, 12:43 PM

Thanks Estel.

It was actually somewhat inspired by your " In Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves), you can count on..." sig.

Personally I like davem's:

Kath · 07-13-2005, 03:37 PM

Wilwarin's siggie is great! I had copied it to put it on here but somehow it got lost

. Anyhoo it is very interesting, would it work for people Wilwa or would we end up rather mutated?

Esgallhugwen · 07-13-2005, 03:49 PM

Gurthang you remember when fourteen year olds didn't have cell phones, I remember when seven year olds didn't have cell phones. But I digress.

Fea I think your signature is great.

wilwarin538 · 07-13-2005, 03:50 PM

Thank you Kath!

I would think people would get tired of bouncy off a wall, and wouldnt make it throught the entire 5 sun's lifetimes.

Kath · 07-13-2005, 03:52 PM

Maybe they are insane elves - that should cover all the problems raised there!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-13-2005, 05:01 PM

Thanks, Eswen. It was the most family-friendly quote I could find from Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and that's saying something. That's possibly the oddest book I've ever read.

Gurthang · 07-14-2005, 11:44 AM

Quote:

This space for rent!

That's funny!

AbercrombieOfRohan · 07-14-2005, 01:57 PM

Gurthang got to it first, but I was also here to nominate Dancing Spawn's.

Why, thank you Gurthang and Abercrombie! It is the craze to quote other people in your sig but I didn't bother to look up a quote for me.

Would either of you be interested to rent that space? No?

Carnimírië · 07-16-2005, 07:24 AM

I saw your sig, Dancing Spawn, and had a word hallucination. I thought it said "This space for rant".

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-18-2005, 07:11 AM

You're going to have to offer a hell of a lot to be able to rent the space in spawn's sig. I think the next person will have to get the girl her very own desert island...

By the way, I've now featured in seven other signatures. I'm slowly hypnotizing you all, I see.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-18-2005, 09:26 AM

I've got to admit... I love Spawn's sig. And it's not just because Eomer put me up to it.

I'll have to think of something absurdly clever to bribe her with.

I believe it. If the phantom provides the best quote in everyday threads you provide them in wolfish ones. Imagine what you could say if you were ever given the chance of living for awhile.

elronds_daughter · 07-19-2005, 10:20 AM

Spawn's sig is a stroke of genius. <tosses a gold star in Spawn's direction> That enough to get me in there?

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 07-19-2005, 10:46 AM

Thanks, Fea and e_d.

Nice try, though

Encaitare's

It made me laugh.

I presume it's from the new film which isn't out in the land of Britons yet.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-20-2005, 10:53 AM

It is, and it'll make you laugh harder once you see Johny Depp say it to poor unsuspecting kids. *now where is that evil smilie?*
