Title: Mr. P's Signature Contest
Post by: Mr_Pleasington on December 04, 2002, 02:22:40 PM: Okay folks, I'm afraid my Space Ghost Quote has had it's time in the sun and is now ready to retire. Problem is, I can never decide on a good quote to use.

So post signature suggestions here and I'll pick the one I like best. It can be funny, thoughtful, or stuff about me. If you win you get ten million dollars and my thanks. Errrr...scratch the ten million dollars.

Pointless, yes, but it isn't called the Time Waster's Guide for nothing.

Post by: Slant on December 04, 2002, 03:41:29 PM: Ummmm... for starters, how about the famous line from The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly:

"If you're going to shoot, shoot! Don't talk!"

Or the old fantasy staple:

"We shall trample your bones and bask in the lamentations of your women."

Or if you are of a Simpsons bent:

"I'm just trying to get into Heaven, Marge. I'm not running for Jesus."

mr p, do what i do - simply put somethign extremely dodgy in it until you think of something new. last time i did that, i used "Hi-yah! *boom*" which i am sure worried the heck out of all the lurkers and guests :)

Post by: EUOL on December 07, 2002, 10:10:44 PM: Oh, let's see. That "Wizards are never late" quote from the Lord of The Rings is a great one. Every time Sir Ian says that one, it makes me crack up.

I was going to say something, but words fail me.

Post by: Mr_Pleasington on December 14, 2002, 03:15:30 AM: Well, a hearty thanks to Slant for the use of such a wonderful quote, but, I think its time to change back to a less explicit siganture.

Thanks to all who played!
