Signatures - Bryston Award

James Tanner · « **on:** 3 Mar 2010, 01:39 pm »

Hi Folks,

I read a post this morning from sfraser and noticed the signature he uses:

Signature: Indecision.....may, or may not be my problem.

I don't know if it is just my mood this morning or not but I broke out laughing

Anyway I really think some of these signatures are superb and I was thinking maybe we should have people post there signature in this thread and vote on the signature we all think is best and that person wins a Bryston gift - Chair or T-Shirt or coffee mug maybe?

It's not mine, but I am partial to BobM's signature "A gentleman is best defined as someone who knows how to play the accordion ... and doesn't."

Cracks me up every time I read it

Point of fact: I have been a baker for 30 years.

"Which type are you?"

This is geek speak. I speak this 10 language too.

i do think signatures should be locked for the time of the "contest". it is fairly easy to hop online and find a killer quote. which, in my opinion, would not make it all that funny anymore, it would just be some line only posted to win...
i had mine for a long time, i also use it elsewhere.

What about previous signatures? Before my present sig I had
"The beatings will continue until morale improves"
and before that
"You never know where you're going till you get there"
or
"No matter where you go, there you are"
I can't remember which.
I change them as the mood strikes.

I think as long as you have used them they qualify.

That was the end of a post when I was asking James about some top secret new product.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day and will plagerize it for my new signature -

Proud Parent of an Inmate of the Month at the County Jail

For the record, I have no children that I know of (Every watch Maury?).
I also disqualify the new signature from the contest.

Glad you liked it James, but i really can't take credit for it. I poached it out of a Jimmy Buffett song. Like you, i laughed out loud when I 1st heard it.

I think my favourite is "The problem with learning from experience, is that sometimes the final exam comes before the 1st lesson--Keith Richards"
or
"Just because you are paranoid does not mean everyone is not out to get you"

Currently my Signature on my work email is taken from a Internet Task force "Request for Comment" as follows (would be a great slogan for Bryston too!)

A friend of mine's e-mail signature -

"I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals. I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants."
