Brett Bixler had the same quote in his sig for a while.

Mine's a bit too recent to need explaining. A while ago I had various Switchfoot lyrics.

One is a quote from Kel (pretty obvious), I just happened to like the quote. And the other one, well if you don't know what it is, then there is probably a reason for it.

Gee, maybe Brett can shed some light on the quote's provenance. That would be great; I've been wondering about it for about ten years now. It seems to be a sort of minimally-successful meme, though, propagating around the internet at a very low incidence rate, so he may well be no better informed than I am. But here's hoping; Brett's been seen here not too long ago.

The whole thing is really random. The english sentence was because I could. So were the ones in my friend's and my language. "Matsa yoi avreleta vay. Pas stolah kulamé." means "Join the Drak Side. We have cookies." and "Bé, daru, sa kai kasé." means "Eat, drink, and be merry."(as several of the members here who pay attention to random posts know.

What lead you to the signature you chose?
The first is a quote I brought back from Family Camp for TM.

The second is a quote of the fouding father of the denomination whose doctrine I most agree with and became a member of.

Edit: ...and I chose the top just to bug TM and the bottom to remind myself how I want to live.

Dikiyoba doesn't have a signature, strictly speaking. And trying to explain why Dikiyoba does things is often hard even for Dikiyoba because Dikiyoba very rarely knows why, let alone anyone else.

Wasn't Brett's quote "All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream"?

I'm sure I saw that around somewhere. It's from a poem by Poe.

My signature forever has my identifacation, so whatever my moniker may be, you know it was me, ben4808, who posted.

The other links are to forums that are basically spammer central and that I have fallen behind on. Deathly behind. But anyway.

I just put humerous quotes by other members that describe me in my signature. I used to have a quote by Alorael about the origin of my name, but decided that it made my signature too long when combined with Ephesos's quote and the plug for my Avernum quest list.

My signature is just random stuff that I change whenever I feel like it. There's no real reason for it, and I often forget which one I have.

My signature? My signature is a poem describing a dragon character I made up 7 years ago, making her much older than G1. I was pulling a comparison between a fire-breathing Drayk and a lighting-shooting Dragon with black and gold scales.

Of course, I failed to mention that dear old Tesability is a dragon that lives on the Internet and that I like to pretend I'm her. One day, I'll break the "No-image in sig" rule to show you guys, but until then...

...I wish there was images allowed, because I have this Slitherakai banner I made...

--------------------
Who am I?
I'm a dragon, not a drayk.
Drayks can't fly, but I can.
I fight with lightning, not fire.
Who am I?
I'm Tesability Black, the Black Thunder Dragon!

It's perfectly okay to post images within a post, you know, even though you can't do it in your sig. Heck, that's what the img tag is for.

And if the image is too big for the page, you can always make a link to it instead.

My sig used to be just various plugs/quotes, but I've shortened it now to just a link to Polaris and "I'll put a Spring in your step", something that a friend always says.

Mu sig used to be horribly large (19 lines of insanity), but now I've only shortened it to 2 or 3 lines of insanity. Er, I mean 2 or 3 normal lines. NORMAL.

There was a link to a random title generator here a while ago. Type in your name, and it gives you a title. That was my first one. Above it is a bit of wisdom I conjure from time to time. Obey it.

I also remember someone saying that quoting oneself is a sure sign of coming senility.

why my signature? Dunno really, it just sort of happened when G3 arose and the tech forum went nuts. A lot of Gatesian problems were there and I was trying to be clever. Despite failing, it became second nature to include some sort of sponsorship message, especially in light of the CoC prohibition of advertising. Having reached the milestone of 1001 posts I abandon it completely, a process begun well over 100 posts ago. It's just too much work to come up with something new for every spam, and I applaud Alorael for his ability to make it happen.

That'd be mine, just after I joined. Which I think you copied back then, some time around Summer 2003. :P
