Who's got the best signature? - Page 25 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Encaitare · 07-20-2005, 01:00 PM

That movie is fantastic... must get the DVD once it comes out. Be sure to see it once it's in theaters by you, everyone. You'll love it. Not only because Depp is amazing, but because Christopher Lee is in it too.

wilwarin538 · 07-20-2005, 01:29 PM

Enca I just saw your sig! That is the funniest movie in the world. Johnny Depp is my hero!

Christopher Lee is good in it too.

Orominuialwen · 07-20-2005, 04:45 PM

I love Nuranar's sig. Lord Peter Wimsey is most definitely a source of excellent quatable material. Nuranar's old sig (also Lord Peter Wimsey) was very nice as well:

wilwarin538 · 07-20-2005, 07:35 PM

I like Formendacil's:

Quote:

This isn't curling, eh.

It doesn't make much sense, but its funny.

Or tell people the door is locked but they all have to try it anyway. Good quote.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 07-21-2005, 12:35 AM

I like Narfforc's sig. True, he doesn't have one, but it makes his posts look very classy.

Elennar Starfire · 07-21-2005, 12:42 PM

Yes, Wilwarin's is great.

And so is Durelin's.

You weren't too keen on my Maori sig though....

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-22-2005, 08:16 AM

Nilpaurion Felagund stole my signature!!!

With one tiny difference, but the point is... I just read a post and between seeing the sig and scrolling up to reread the post and seeing his name, I kept thinking "Wait... I don't remember writing this!".

He... he stole my sig.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-22-2005, 08:58 AM

I was keener when I didn't know what it meant, Mith. It's quite possible that Russian sig said 'All doves must be grilled' and then it wouldn't have been a favourite.

Quite a scope for a practical joke, really.

Edit to add: Fea's new sig is probably a fine example. I've no idea what it means but I'm sure it has nothing to do with the grilling of doves, and it looks quite lovely.

Did someone have a Chinese sig a while back? I thought I remembered that a couple of nights ago...could just be havering.

Mithalwen · 07-22-2005, 10:18 AM

You disrespect the Haka at your Peril .....

But try this ....

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-22-2005, 10:22 AM

See? It's a beautiful language. It could mean 'Murder all kittens with blunt axes' but it still looks nice.

That's not what it means, is it?

Mithalwen · 07-22-2005, 11:15 AM

Xue Hua is my chinese name just to confuse you .. and surely you can cope with the rest and no chatons hach'es

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-22-2005, 11:22 AM

That explains the rough translation of blah blah blah Xue Hua then.

Mithalwen · 07-22-2005, 11:27 AM

Ah but chinese names mean something ... and I hope Xue Hua means what I was told it means or I will have to fly across the world and kill someone.....

The rest anyone can read...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-22-2005, 11:41 AM

At least if anyone can read French. But who am I to talk, with my Russian sig.

Kath · 07-22-2005, 11:51 AM

It's an interesting sig Fea. Is it from something?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-22-2005, 11:54 AM

Nothing in particular, Kath. Just a random stroke of brilliance a few hours ago. Can you read it?

It... sort of... worked. Kind of. Not really though, since it didn't make a lick of sense.

As for mine... since I translated it online, I'm assuming that an online translator should work to put it back into English. Hehe. *guilty grin* Shh, don't tell what translation you get. Only one person so far knows.

Since it did not make sense it did not work. I assure you it makes sense.

Quote:

Pas de lieu Rhone que nous

Rhone is a river in France...

I have it as "Not us instead of the Rhone..."

Are you saying you would rather die than see the Rhone contaminated? Or something along those lines? Actually, I know that's wrong... different usage of "lieu..." Grrr... Where's my French Dictionary?

I know even less Latin than I do French. Should be interesting...

Quote:

Caesar adsum iam forte; Brutus aderat. Caesar sic in omnibus; Brutus sic in at

Caeser... something strong. Brutus... murdered him? Caesar... curses, I recognise the words, but don't understand them! Caesar is now widely known whereas Brutus isn't?

Um...

This is like some sort of Cryptic Clue.

Mithalwen · 07-22-2005, 01:57 PM

May I suggest a little worship at the shrine of E de Bono?

wilwarin538 · 07-22-2005, 02:09 PM

Pas de lieu Rhone que nous

I'm almost completely French and I don't even understand it. Lieu means 'where something comes from', so maybe it means, if I go by what TGWBS said it means 'The river Rhone doesn't come from anything but us????'

Amanaduial the archer · 07-22-2005, 04:32 PM

On a slightly different note...Wilwarin's made me smile - just so true

THE Ka · 07-22-2005, 09:21 PM

Okay, I'll see what I can get out of this...

Caesar adsum iam forte; Brutus aderat. Caesar sic in omnibus; Brutus sic in at =

Caesar to assist now by chance Brutus aderat. Caesar so upon omnibus Brutus so upon but

...And that's all.

Although:
Omnibus is:
A printed anthology of the works of one author or of writings on related subjects.

Aderat, I'm guessing is a surname.

Oh, well. On to different things, I gave my best.

~ Ka

Kath · 07-23-2005, 05:55 AM

I still can't get anything out of Mithalwen's so I have moved on to a siggy I can translate.

Quote:

Ich vergieße mein Blut für dich mein Herz für dich

This is Imladris's and is my new favourite.

the guy who be short · 07-23-2005, 06:48 AM

There seems to be a new foreign-language trend for siggys. I expect my new siggy will probably be something cynical about this.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-23-2005, 11:13 AM

Just had to respond to your . . . statement.

But clearly your image was the superior version. Mine was sloppily made. Did you perchance notice the odd periods?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-23-2005, 11:29 AM

Oh Nilp, I don't mind at all. I did notice the periods. You'll be happy to know that the only reason my "occult" was outlined was because I couldn't get my heart to line up otherwise. But I'm rather more fond of my new signature, so all is well.

Gil-Galad · 07-24-2005, 03:10 PM

First its Werewolf Sigs, now its foreign Languages, Whats next? Famous Gil-Galad Puns...actually that wouldn't be too bad

Firefoot · 07-24-2005, 03:46 PM

Quote:

"Caesar adsum iam forte; Brutus aderat. Caesar sic in omnibus; Brutus sic in at"

I'm getting "Caesar is now present by chance; Brutus was present. Thus Caesar [is] in everything; thus Brutus [is] in __."

Fea, is yours supposed to make logical sense? I think I've got the gist of it but it's very random...

I've been toying around with a Latin sig for a long time now (since Christmas or so), but I've not yet found anything I like. Maybe soon.

wilwarin538 · 07-24-2005, 03:55 PM

I laughed when I read Gurthang's:

Quote:

I'm scary, but only to people who are afraid of me.

I love that!

How about band camp quotes!

Gurthang · 07-24-2005, 06:46 PM

Thanks, wilwarin! I actually used that as a response to someone who called me scary; it was so fun!

I liked it so much I had to put it up here.

I like Elladan and Elrohir's:

Quote:

"I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had ever happened."
"So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All that we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

It's so inspiring.
