A wonderful illustration of the complexities of pronunciation in the English language, courtesy of a letter in my daily newspaper.

But now for something completely different ...

Brooke replaced Brooke....

so farewell then "Most individual and bewildering ghost" maybe I will be a bewildering ghost in my next death........ it was a hard call...


and while I am at it..I am ready for another change ....so I may as well add this now

"Frost, with a gesture, stays the waves that dance" ..

Farewell to thee, O plain-spoken sailor-man!

Super-points to whoever can identify the source for this next one. (It ain't gonna happen. ) :smokin:

Give me an Uber-point, for I have read thy blog. :cool:

I did love your old quote though. Nominated it for Best Sig myself!

Sophia

Aaahhhhhhhh!
 

Cheater! Tricksy! False!

;)

I should have added a proviso, Thou shalt keep thy mouth shut if thou readest mine blog.

I noticed that, I did. Thank you kindly, dear. Points on both counts! (Nothing stingy about me, no sir!)

Nuranar

P.S. It still wouldn't have happen without the blog! :p

I am laying this quote to rest-
I like that quote. Can't remember where I heard it, though. :p

While floating around the Downs lately I've noticed several members ushering in the Valentine's Day season with romantic/flowery love-related sigs, and I decided that I, too, would honor the day with my signature.

So, during the next few days, my signature will display some of my favorite quotes about love.

Yes, love is imagination isn't it.

I'm putting to rest my latest:
"You have the right to think whatever you want and I have the right to kill you for it."

It was shocking for the length of time I needed it to be. Plus it was a great tribute to my History Teacher. Thanks Mr. Rajotte, now I can answer more Jeopardy questions!

Fare thee well,
 

"Tasty is as tasty does"
---Mom
Ah, the wisdom of the elders...(Mom's not that old though...but she's way smarter than me).

My newest old and buried sig:

I pass my Monty Python quote for a newer, more personal one...

I will lay aside this quote...
...and replace it with another entertaining Valentine's Day/love quote.

For all that I liked my song lyrics, it is time to pay homage to my favorite cartoon.

So goodbye, and hello Dr. Orpheus.

Fea

I'm laying aside my current Arwen quote: for a temporary P.D.Q. Bach spree.

Prigioniera ho l’alma in pena,ma si bella è la catena, che non cerca liberà. Mesto, infermo, il cor sen’giace,ma il suo mal così gli piace,che bramar pace non sa.
Arrivederci, la catena is not so bella at the moment .....

Now that Valentine's Day is past, it is time to get back to a more phantomish siggy. I lay this one to rest...

was a short-lived sig of mind...so much hatred towards orcs... well i added a new one of course

I hereby lay to rest this curiously discussion-provoking statement made by Vincent Gilmore, solicitor, in Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White:

And now for another immortal morsel of wisdom, this time from the lips of that sober sage, Bertie Wooster. :eek:

I hearby lay to rest both sig and SA avvie:

Lovely song that. :)

I have denied this quote its death for too long...now at last I allow it to rest.

I will lay to rest this beautiful quote from a song by Joe Dassin:

"Si tu n'existais pas, / J'essaierais d'inventer l'amour,
Comme un peintre qui voit sous ses doigts / Naître les couleurs du jour. / Et qui n'en revient pas."

No longer needing to pay respects to the [un]dead, I bring back Dr. Orpheus. Although I must admit it's nice to know Crystal Heart's not dead.

Rest in pieces...
Every syllable rings true if you think of the media and all those terrible reality shows out there.

And now that my nice little bit of mischief went off without a hitch... here's another.

And so I lay to rest

my shortest lived quote that i think no one noticed that all

"My Karma ran over my Dogma"


well i hope my next one is more notcied

Seemingly unable to leave well enough alone, I, yet again, feel the need to change my signature. And so

is laid to rest, having earned the desired reaction. I shall now try for a wee bit of Monty Python-esque action.

It is time to bury my current sig-
Yes, it is time for a new sig.

But wait... did I say new? Not new- but rather an old sig who's revivification was requested by a couple of my good friends here on the Downs. ;)

Rip:
 

"nothing is lost, nothing whatever; memory accumulates treasures, stored-up secrets grow in darkness and dust, and one day a transient visitor at a lending library wants a book that has not once been asked for in twenty-two years."

By Vladimir Nabukov.

True and very beautifully said. :)

Rip
 

I intended to keep it for quite a long time; unfortunately, I found a witty quote I couldn't resist using as a sig. So there.

Fare thee well, Bertie old bean.
 

And now for a spot of Lord Peter...

Rip:
 

"The Paradox of Nightwish: It uses dark words but it makes them sound happy."

by ?
Heard (seen) on an IRC channel while ago. It would be silly if it weren't true. :D

EDIT: And because I hope everyone knows by now Enca made this wonderful avvie, I'll lay this bit to rest as well:

Thanks Encaitare, for the avatar :)

But much-loved siggies do, sometimes.

I lay this sig to rest... and to commemorate my past four years of torture...

You mean you're actually graduating from high school?

I have freaked Eomer long enough;)

Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Eomer of the Rohirrim.

So goodbye to Winston, if not the thought police ....

Farewell to my Song of Solomon signature... *sigh* I do like that one, and it will probably re-emerge.

And behold the new siggy, an Easter themed on, from a passage about the mysterious Woman with the Alabaster Jar, Mary Magdalene. I just like this particular line......and so it becomes my siggy.

i guess my last one is gone, even though only one person pmed me for good luck... :(
