Best Signatures.

Mi_chief_fan · 02-22-2001, 04:15 PM

Continuing the totally useless offseason threads, let's have a vote for the best signatures, and everyone explain the motivation(except for the obvious ones) behind them.

Mine was just a funny response to a question that feminist attorney Gloria Allred posed to Bill Maher, 'Tell me one good thing drugs have accounted for?' The rest is history.

My favorite has to be DiscoJones' Travolta, with Cannibal& his many great sig's getting special recognition.

Your thoughts?

MrBlond · 02-22-2001, 04:40 PM

I think Gaz's endings are pretty clever. When I first started posting on the other board I always ended my post like his until someone posted a thread entitled "Quite copying off of Gaz's signature."

Can't say I have a favorite, since there are several notable sigs on the board.

Personally, I change my own sig about every 2 or 3 days, almost always something humorous (IMO) although I do put in a pic or other things occasionally.

And because of the political sensitivity of board members, since I'm a middle-of-the-road kind of guy, I'm careful to alternate between democrats and republicans in my sigs. Equal opportunity humor is the best policy. (i.e. last 3 sigs were a Rep. senator, Ted Kennedy and now Nancy Reagan - democrats get the next one...). ;)

I like mine...this is a very non-political response...this way I just look like a egomaniac instead of playing favorites...:)

Archie F. Swin · 02-22-2001, 06:18 PM

Gaz's has staying power, he had a sig when many did not. Its simple, when you see "xoxo~" you know who it is.

I have to admit though i dont know what "xoxo~" represents (except Gaz). . . ooohh, mystery

Luzap's are great cause they summarize the body of his post. The reason that is so great is because, when Luz gets that keyboard movin' it has the braking power of a coal train. Lets face it people . . . the man can really get wordy!

So, if I'm feelin lazy . . .I'll just read his sig :D

keg and bkkcoh's current sigs are pretty funny

hawaiianboy · 02-22-2001, 06:27 PM

Cannibal's is always good for shock value and a good laugh.

Personally, I think gaz employs a writer.... no Chief fan could possibly be that witty or clever.

Mine? I like mine because I know it pretty much annoys everyone but the Duck and myself....

Otter · 02-22-2001, 06:29 PM

I tend to borrow a Gaz-like signature every once in awhile myself. I'm not clever to come up with one every time although. If it bothers Gaz then hey, let me know and I'll cease and assist immediatly.

Remember - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Actually I nominate Otters of those presently on the board. I enjoy its lighthearted nature.

Cannibal get my vote for most creative/annoying

Sorry Raiderhader but I nominate yours as worst along with JQs because they take up so much bandwidth. The board is getting slower, and I thing we may have to someday banish animated Gif signatures.

Gaz, as always my respects as your witty signoff are classic, and what does xoxo~~ mean?

Hey!... I rarely use mine.
I only use it when someone annoys me.

xxoo = hugs and kisses, for my non Valentine getting friend.

HA!

Raiderhater · 02-22-2001, 08:28 PM

Logical,
I had no idea I was contributing to the slowing down of the board. As you can see I got rid of my sig. I'll just have to come up with something else.

As for Gaz's sig, xoxo means hugs and kisses. My grandparents sign our cards that way (although minus the witty saying).

raiderhader,

No big deal and don't get rid of it because of what I said. Our friends who take care of the board will let us know when it has gone over the top. You just might want to use it more selectively.

I knew that xoxo meant love and kisses, I am just praying that this is not Gaz's intent especially with the tail. That would be just plain creepy. I was hoping for more on the line of the football x's and o's with a hidden meaning for the tail.
