Your Signature
those of you who add one to your incredibly witty, charming and insightful remarks--who, what, when, where and why? I can get the elvis ones most of the time, but others...well, they leave me wondering.
for instance, my own--found it on a job applicant's resume and it just resonated with my pizza obsession. damn the low carb life.

Like me, the "g" is silent.
honey, i do NOT envy you your time reading resumes.
they must be some of the scariest things to read.
my sig is a line from a song by one of our own board members.
it said to me 'wanna be your sig! make me your sig!' so i did.

I just came to think of this poem a friend of mine wrote and dedicated to me as a joke about me being some sort of protest singer when reading wehitandrun's lyrics and the replies in Tin Pan Alley. Also, being a singer in a band that not a lot of people listen to (with good reason) makes you feel that way sometimes. What I'm saying is, what WHAR does makes a lot more sense than the guy described below.
PS. This is my poor translation of his Swedish original. DS.

My sig is always changing, so is my ickle facey thing as well...just cos it keeps me amused...but I like to have weird obscure things and lyrics basically....so for example, a lyric from Massive Attack (Maggie this, Maggie that, Maggie means inflation), or a quote from the one and only Alan Partridge like the one now!
I am slowly beginning to realise that Im addicted to this site...cos I do most of my work on a comp with internet access...it keeps me from slipping into insanity, that and I love you all so much. Awwwww, pass the tissues...........and the Jaffa Cakes too while you're up.

Good to know it's infectious. Apparently Wogan objected to the ref to BBC2 as he's a strictly BBC1 man, which is very funny. He didn't object to the sarcastic ref to his deference and laughter.PlaythingOrPet wrote:Mine was inspired by Otis's infectious love of all things Franz Ferdinand. Oh, and the huge picture of Terry Wogan in the song's video.
I'm with Mug on liking song lyrics for sigs, but the current one, in honour of Bloomsday, is the closing words of the novel in question, so Noise isn't the only one with a quote from a literary classic right now.
LJ?

Well you'll know why I haven't rung ...lapinsjolis wrote:The Latin loosely means-'If you're not swinging don't bother ringing.'. The French maybe incorrect but means-'Don't speak, kiss me.' If anyone understood it they didn't heed my request.
...and I'm a happily married man. There are far more qualified men than me to heed your request though!

From the last verse on Tunnel Of Love, possibly my favourite Bruce Springsteen album. Here it is: http://www.brucespringsteen.net/songs/V ... esDay.html

Bamboo, Valentine's Day's on my Bruce Top 5, and as far as I know the only song from one of his official CD's that's never been played live. Go figure. I sent a cassette of me playing it to my girlfriend last Valentine's. The year before she got Steve Earle's namesake song. We live together now, so this time (Willie Nelson's) Valentine was played live. Any suggestions for next year?
Taz, I've been checking my disintegrating Bukowski paperbacks for that quote, and now I realize it's "Till The Money Runs Out." Shame that Tom didn't do the soundtrack for "Barfly."

It's an onamatapoeic rendering of the noise at the end of the music used on Countdown. And I thinks it's time to change it too. I used to use "Crying wont bring your dog back, unless your tears smell of dog food" which was a Simpsons thing and "The Key of S. Write that down in your copybook." which came from the brilliant Look Around You tv series.

King Hoarse, maybe you could write a good one and, as part of your Valentine's Day romancing (roses, going out on a gondola or whatever), perhaps play it only once each time it comes around. Or just keep playing it to her all day... drive her batty until lust takes over.King Hoarse wrote:Bamboo, Valentine's Day's on my Bruce Top 5

I use my signature to send subliminal messages to various board members. Except to Bambooneedle, as our transcontinental psychic waves make such heavy-handed techniques unnecessary.
Not really. Usually they are lines from songs (currently 'Azure') that are somewhat descriptive of my current state of mind, or from songs that are going through my head for whatever other reason. Sometimes they are lines from books or movies.
In my case, it's random and not remotely brilliant.

It's a radiation vibe I'm groovin' on
