If I might be permitted to take a brief proprietorial interest in this thread, would it be possible for everyone to explain why they like the signatures they've nominated? That's what I hoped for far back in the mists of time when I started this thread. Have a look at some of the earlier responses to see what was meant to happen in here.

since we started nicely asking...

Further to Squatter's request, I do nicely asks, and even do nicely begs:

Do quote signature you are posting praise of, please. Signatures tend to change, you see, and just mentioning 'I like Mr. X's sig' is not conducive enough to make me go and see Mr.X's profile for the sake of the signature only, given the chance that as likely as not the one I'll see there will not be the same as eulogized here.

My gratitude in advance

Sorry - The last sig was a Rupert Brooke misquote (never occured to associate him with Dorothy Parker before!!!! ) prompted by Valentine's day bitterness .. it is from a poem called "Song" which has taken a unfortunate though maybe not wholly inappropriate slant with modern connotations to a couple of the words in the full version. The bit I used was

"Oh! Love," they said, and "Love," they said,
"The gift of Love is this;
A crown of thorns about thy head,
And vinegar to thy kiss!"---

I like Lommy's:

Quote:
Where do I go? Follow the river. Where do I go? Follow the gulls. Where is the something, where is the someone, that tells me why do I live and die?
I thought I was the only person who enjoyed that movie enough to learn the words.


PS: Singing the words loudly to the soundtrack when hubby gets home gets you odd looks. Especially if he doesn't walk in to "Good morning, Starshine" or "Aquarius". Thank GOD my new apartment has thicker walls than the last one...

I really like this quote of Rune Son of Bjarne. As far as I know, it's from the best "role-playing"game ever: Munchkin!
Am I right, Rune?

I've listened too much to that CD lately... But the quote is Tolkienish, too. (Or maybe it's just the gulls...)
My neighbors don't probably want to hear Let the sunshine in ever again after me and my sister had listened to it whole evening at nearly maximum volume...

I always thought it was "follow the sun", not "the gulls". Gulls is of course much more Tolkieny.
Among my circle of acquaintance, my liking for 'Hair' is considered as eccentric as my liking for Tolkien. Nice to know there are some others with me in this Venn diagram subset....

Unless I'm much mistaken that sig's from the Grimm story "The Juniper Tree", I've been meaning to comment on it myself...

You are not mistaken, Shelob.

Tolkien liked it, too...

Quote:
The beauty and horror of The Juniper Tree (Von dem Machandelbloom), with its exquisite and tragic beginning, the abominable cannibal stew, the gruesome bones, the gay and vengeful bird-spirit coming out of a mist that rose from the tree, has remained with me since childhood; and yet always the chief flavour of that tale lingering in the memory was not beauty or horror, but distance and a great abyss of time, not measurable even by twe tusend Johr. Without the stew and the bones--which children are now too often spared in mollified versions of Grimm--that vision would largely have been lost.

I was a bit depressed by it, if it's the one I think it is. I'm a child of the nineties and I recognised zilch. In that moment I realised the deep psychological and cultural consequences caused by the fact that I spent my entire childhood reading without a decent light and slowly going blind, not raving to Oasis or some similar band of gentlemen...

I think you'd deserve an Oscar for best advertisement, if there was one.

Sure.

A darkened stage, spotlight on a podium. Dramatic fanfare of horns. Enter Celuien, dressed in a long green gown and black jacket from stage left.

Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to the First Annual Trollywood Pictures Association Awards Ceremony. Our first award in the Best Actor category has been awarded to The Saucepan Man for his brilliant performance in Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVIII. Next up is the Excellence in Advertising Award. The nominees are Hookbill the Goomba, for his work on Assigned to Mordor - The Movie; Anguirel, for recruitment of Warg fans to the Survivor audience; and Eomer of the Rohirrim, for innovation in transforming the City of Aberdeen into a giant billboard for the Barrow-Downs. All worthy nominees, but only one will take the big prize, the coveted golden Balrog. Who will it be? The envelope, please.

A wet frog hops across the stage, dripping envelope in its mouth. Celuien carefully removes the message. The frog hops away. Celuien opens the envelope.

And the winner is...Hookbill the Goomba! Congratulations!

Hookbill runs onstage and is handed his award, a small, shiny statue in the shape of a Winged Balrog...


There you go.

Hurrah! *runs onstage, trips, falls into a potted plant. Chokes on soil.*

I think the only message my signature sends is that I have far, FAR too much time on my hands.

On a side note, the first link is a clip form the opening sequence of Assigned to Mordor: The Movie.
