True, isn't it? I still got tired of it though.

Lol! I love that! I should think of one that only a few people will understand... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Currently, mine is but I think I'll change it in a while.

After having it for a long time, I have decided to replace my Seinfeld quote with a quote from another book I just finished reading. It sounds weird out of context, but that's what makes it funny! Anyways, here's my old quote:
Enjoy the new one!

Recently, I've left behind my much-beloved sig of seven months:

I didn't attribute it, because it's Tolkien, but it's from the Lay of the Children of Hurin and refers to the burial of Beleg. There ought to be a space in each of the lines (between "earth" and "on" and "woe" and "on"), but I can't figure out how to do it.

If anyone would like a translation of my current sig, please pm me.

Well, I finally ditched my original one. Here it is.
And good riddance! Too darn sweet and obvious fantasy work.

All the ones I have had so far will now be laid to rest. Well, actually I already killed my one of Orlando Bloom quotes and buried it here....toher than that, before I got the one I have now, I only had one. It was a funny quote from the Simpsons. I had it for about 2 days. [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] Now I have a piece from a rather depressing poem in Russian. It is LotR related, but you couldn't tell just from those two lines. It's a poem from the perspective of a goblin. I'm changing it tomorrow or the day after, because so few people understand it. I love the poem, but the whole thing won't fit in the sig. I had wanted to use a (Russian) poem from the perspective of Aragorn, which is also sad. Now I've decided- today, right now, I'm changing my sig to the Denethor line when Faramir is brought back. Usually, I like sigs that are either funny or sad. Can you tell? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

For a short while I am laying down: My new quote is I probably will be changing back sometime.

Well, I loved this quote, but I'm going to try out a new one for a while. I may change it back, but this is a great quote. Oh, and for anybody who missed it, Falante pelos Mortos is Portuguese for Speaker for the Dead, an Orson Scott Card reference.

RIP

Wonderful quote; cynically humorous and a perfect definition of the way many people think. RIP.

I got rid of my one quote a little while ago. I liked it though, it was my own quote! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Sad...goodbye! You'll be back soon. Anyway, I think it might be written on my binder...so, it gets a little credit!

I liked these lines from John Donne's "Death, Be Not Proud" very much, and I got several comments on it.

But I have been inspired anew - nothing like watching Henry V with your family the day before Easter! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, rest in peace, yadda yadda...

Too true. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

It is time for me to leave behind my brand newish quote
so that I may begin a 'Useless fact of the week' in my sig. This week's is Since that is my favorite useless fact, it probably will be the only posted in this topic. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Changed my sig again. Formerly:

CS Lewis, "The Great Divorce." I have an unhealthy affinity for his books. (Yet, then again, all of us have an unhealthy affinity to books... that's why we're here.)

Back in all her glory (?) after quitting all things Tolkien for Lent,

-'Vana

Even though it came from an absolutely great book, my sig quote has changed AGAIN. Here is my old one:
Hehe, it's funny, but unfortunately, it would make more sense if you had read the book, so therefore, READ THE BOOK!!!
Anyways, I changed my sig to the lyrics of a beautiful song we sang in choir. I chose that song because not only is it gorgeous, but we also got a superior ranking everytime we sang it at competition, so I guess I'm honoring it by putting it in my sig.

My current sig is but I'm changing it to- something today, so I thought I'd better bury it first.

~Menelien

Well, I changed my sig again, to something a little more showing of my current career path.

However, my old one I still hold to be completely true.

I am laying to rest my old sig:
R.I.P.

RIP to my Donne, I should have laid it to rest long ago...

well, mine was quite simple.. it used to be:

It comes in Pints???

Here is the sig I just stopped using about 7 minutes ago: ~Menelien

Burying a few more quotes, though they may be rebodied shortly [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

and RIP, friends.

I am currently pondering whether to lay to rest my "DO THE WAVE FOR BOROMIR THE DISCO KING!". Does anyone have an opinion on whether I should or not?

I am just now laying down this part of mine in preference of something new. RIP

I am changing my sig today, so RIP to the part I'm changing. It may be brought to life again later.

I change my sigs far too often, so my new one won't last either, but I am killing off I really liked it, but then I got something that I thought was more... Downish.

Edit: Spelling...

I suppose I have a few to bury:

"Jamais Errant": never wandering.

and "Un troubadour errant, dédaigné par tous." : a wandering troubadour, scorned by all.

and my first, always my favorite quote from LotR: "'Unless the king should come again?' said Gandalf. 'Well, my lord Steward, it is your task to keep some kingdom still against that event, which few now look to see. In that task you shall have all the aid that you are pleased to ask for. But I will say this: the rule of no realm is mine, neither of Gondor nor any other, great or small. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, those are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail of my task, though Gondor should perish, if anything passes through this night that can still grow fair or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I also am a steward. Did you not know?' And with that he turned and strode from the hall with Pippin running at his side." Quite lengthy, that was probably one of the reasons I changed it.

"I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, what if life was fair, and all the awful things that happened to us happened because we actually deserved them? Now I take comfort in the general unfairness and hostility of the universe." --Marcus

Far too lengthy, so I ditched it. Let's give Marcus Cole from Babylon 5 a hand, though, for such a great quote.

~*~Orual~*~

Bye bye to Ben Franklin:

I've traded it in for a line from one of my favorite songs by Matchbox Twenty. It's just so... me. Though, I really am crazy, as my friends tell me daily.

EDIT: "Matchbow"? Egad... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I hereby bury my current signature, as I've got all night to chose a new one, and that's what I'll be doing. Expect something from the Matrix... (Surprise surprise!) Rot in pieces, my dear [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Rest in peace, good friend.

Quite stupid, but...

I hearby lay to rest;
Now it comes to it, I don't feel like parting with it. After all, why not, why shouldn't I keep it?
I have a feeling it will return....

I've had too many! I should have been coming to this thread for months.

Let me see...there was one about Juan Pablo when he FINALLY won Grand Prix no.2, one about Mark Butcher's AMAZING First Test against Zimbabwe, Darius is gorgeous [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] , Orlando Bloom's greatest quotes, Paul McCartney 40 years ago, a quote from Yellow Submarine, various Wheel of Time quotes...far too many related to guys. And of course the classic (well to me anyway):
Oh and I hereby lay to rest
Not because I'm ashamed. I got bored!

I liked it, but it was time for a change. Soon will be time for another change, methinks [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

[Edit: And yet another, discarded signature. I found this one too lighthearted for someone as thoroughly dead as I [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

RIP my dear departed friend.]

My Matrix quotes are swiftly exchanging for... other Matrix quotes [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img], so I would like to bury the one I just hearlessly murdered: The rest of them have been left to live for now, but the gun quote has been "traded in" for a quote from the trailer for Matrix Revolutions.

~Menelien

Let's see...I'm not sure if I can remember the early signatures, but here are the ones I do:

This is my favorite passage in all of LotR. I believe that this shows that Gollum actually would have given up the ring. I'll always believe that, RiP.

Ahh, that was a classic in my eyes, rest (peacefully) in peace.

The next sig I had was something that came off the top of my head. I got rid of it after a while because it looked stupider and stupider each time I saw it. I'm sort of glad I can't remember it.

There's hilarious one from Grounds-keeper Willie, from The Simpsons, which is (in my opinion of course) the best show ever.

I might change mine again soon, but I'll let it live for a while. It deserves to.

I have recently laid to rest a section of mine-
(but I didn't stop)

RIP

I decided to finally dispose of
a sig I actually had for a long time. RIP...

Here's my old quote:

Dude look! I'm a wight now! Cool!

It's creepy and it's kooky, mysterious and spooky, there's just one thing to do-ee...the ring must be destroyed!

And, now I retire my lovely Slipknot siggy.

Why'm I so fascinated with / Bigger pictures, better things? / I don't care what you think, you'll never understand me!

Mmhmm. It's been replaced with the happier BNL song, Light Up My Room. But just for the Downs. ~_^ Other 'Knot songs pop up frequently on other boards.
