Thread: What made you choose your sig?

    Default What made you choose your sig?

    What made you choose your signature? If you don't have one then why don't you? Perhaps you can't choose?

    I chose my after playing CoD. There I've seen this great quotation and just had to use it as a sig?

    I believe it`s a quote from a russian rocket-scientist, who is taliking about the fate of humanity; if it`s gonna survive it has to leave the cradle sooner or later(I prefer sooner). And since I am into astronomy, I liked it very much.
    As a side note I grabbed it from ESAs latest space vision, Aurora.

    The pic in my sig is from a great BI mod, btw.

    My sig was influenced by my main character, by having a conversation with one of my fellow writers with the word Asinis which means ass and Asinius and the close relationship between them and with me getting kick out of the group a month ago.
    My name is Asinius Commodus, son of the Eagle.

    I like Japanese swords and interiors, and thus I liked this animated .gif. I also liked the way the .gif coordinates with my avatar picture. It's also one of the only animated .gifs I have that's small enough (in KB) to use here.

    Listing my "official" S:TW and M:TW foyer names--with clan prefixes--is essentially a *bow* to my fellow clannies.

    I change my text at the bottom every once in a while. The current text is a haiku that I wrote.
    Be intent on loyalty
    While others aspire to perform meritorious services
    Concentrate on purity of intent
    While those around you are beset by egoism

    After playing Operation Flashpoint a lot, and dying a lot I was introduced to a bunch of quotes, my sig is my favorite of the bunch and I used it to replace an old and very obscure movie quote.

    I'd quite like to be a character from a Bruce Springsteen song.

    I probably need to buy a '69 Chevy first, though.

    My sig shows what music I'm currently listening on my computer, so you all can point and laugh at my music taste .

    It's kind of a slogan Akercocke, the English death metal band, uses. Not everyone gets it.

    The Thomas Jefferson one is because people have a tendency to believe what is written in the news without question.

    The Teddy Roosevelt is to show that its apporiate to question political leaders when thier actions do not serve the nation's best interests - in you opinion.

    You have heard the Zorba thing, so...

    The quote at the bottom is from the end of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the book). I find it to be appropriate for many circumstances (especially when people mock real life. I know it usually isn't serious- neither am I. )

    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Because. That is more important than the other sigs I used to have. And my ".OrgWars" sigs were too big.
