I'm fickle with my signatures, but that doesn't mean I don't adore them all:

Quote:

I want your love. And I want your revenge. I want your love. I don't wanna be friends.

GaGa 4-eva.

ETA: You were a genius for starting this thread in the first place, Esty. So many good quotes. So many memories.

Why thank you!

Like any good graveyard, there's plenty of interesting reading to be had here.

Retired for now, but bound to be back sooner or later (it's just too good):

Quote:

Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men fight for what they meant under another name. - William Morris

Replaced for the moment by

Quote:

Come not between the sheep and his pasture! Or he will not slay thee in turn. He will bear thee away on his horns to the pens of lamentation, where the tufts of thy head shall be nibbled, chewed and ruminated on in all eternity.

which came to me this afternoon as I was reconstructing the fence that keeps our two rams from my wife's flower-bed. (I know, it's rather silly...)

Silly makes room for sillier. My last sig (see above) put through the Bad Translator (thanks to Eönwë):

Quote:

In 1942 stupid! Or maybe oil and dead zone.

Incredible, but true.

"The time has come," the Walrus said, "to retire this here sig..."

Quote:

"The time has come,” the Walrus said, “to talk of many things:
Of shoes – and ships – and sealing-wax – of cabbages – and kings –
And why the sea is boiling hot – and whether balrogs have wings"

However, since it was the quote that began this hallowed thread, it shall ever remain in honor until The End.

And who knows, I may take it up again some day.

Good-bye to the first extant poem in English.

Quote:

Earth took of earth, earth with woe,
Earth other earth to the earth added;
Earth laid earth in an earthen grave.
Then had earth of earth enough earth.

Hello to some lines, the provenance of which shall remain known to those who attended Oxonmoot.

Quote:

Wheelbarrows at five
Hearses at daybreak.

Changing my location. It's been a while since Adaron left. I hear storms...

hearing only the sigh and murmur of the waves on the shores of Middle-earth

And the quote goes with it:

...into the mist a small ship passed away, twinkling with lights.
