where do you guys get these great quotes? I'm not quite as scholarly as most of this crowd. I watch in awe of your debating skills.

Mine comes from reading a lot, which is where I imagine tons of us get them. I'm a huge A.C. Doyle fan...
The last part of mine is kind of an inside joke between me and SteveShaw, you might want to ask him about it :lol:

I got mine from a t-shirt. That is the level of my intellectual and reading skills. :)

I am much too serious and dignified to put some slogan in my signature. But if I did, I think it would be this Groucho Marx quote that I saw in someone else's signature: "Outside a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside a dog it's too dark to read."

You can click mine all you want too...won't do a damn bit o' good! :P Might be good therapy for chronic mouse clickers though, or for people with under developed index fingers.

Mine is from my favorite book. It also seemed appropriate for an online forum. :)

Well, my source is pretty clear. I just thought it was a wonderful turn of phrase.

THe other part of my sig really does derive from the fact that my computer at work has a dodgy keyboard. It leaves off letters from the top row unless you really pound 'em in.

I've been thinking about joining those latin nuts 'round here by adding "Virtus Junxit Mors Non Separabit" to mine.

I had in mind something I wanted to say. I knew one of the Romans would already have said it better. There are tons of websites for looking up this sort of thing.

Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.
