It's time we explain the signficance of our sig lines & pictures

[LynneSin]

I've been at DU for almost 3 years now and some of you folks have the most interesting and unusual sig line & pictures. And from time to time I'll sit there and scratch my head and wonder what the DU poster was thinking when they picked his/her sig line/picture.

So I'll start.

First I picked my Bloom County Cartoon Strip. There was another BC strip with just Opus taking the dandelion break. But when I found this I thought it was for all of us here at DU - we all need Dandelion breaks.

Then I included our website for the DE for Dean group.

So come on fess up - what's the meaning behind your sig line & pictures!!

[goobergunch]

1. My sig's rather long

Line 1: My political report (with linky) and proclamation of C-SPAN watchingness.

Line 2: The current Democratic delegate account, according to my computations.

Line 3: Yep, I'm still ABB.

Line 4: C-SPAN quick watch links for those interested.

[Kamika]

2. I'm just weird

But I try to have some famous pic of an (non stereotype) asian (american) girl since I'm one..I used to have Sato from star trek , but ppl thought it was me :p so I chose Amy to represent me here.


The sig lines.. don't ask

[louis-t]

7. amy's a good choice

[blondeatlast]

39. I remember Sato--she looked a bit cold; which I know you are decidedly

NOT!

:hi:

[LTR]

3. Me? I just post a funny or symbolic graphic

and change it from time to time.

It's usually either pro-Clark or anti-Bush.

This is my current one (grabbed it off Bartcop a few days ago):

[Wonk]

4. Good... good... I'm glad this happened...

[Mr. McD]

5. It means exactly what it says, no more no less.

[Paragon]

6. I kicked everyone's ass

;)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

8. Contrary to popular belief...

my sig line does not mean I'm a blue dog democrat.

I just think Blue's Clues is adorable :D

[JohnKleeb]

17. Who said you was a blue dog

Ok
here goes
Irish Flag= I am part Irish and yes proud of it, too bad they dont have avatars for the other one
DK= well hes my candiate
Kucinich for president, simply that
Those fuckers, well I wanted to act out my inner truman and you know I like to knock the GOP
that quote about comrades and shit, oh just something I did one night when I got bored, and yearning for a world without war.

[THUNDER HANDS]

9. mine represents the struggle against repressive tyranny and

The belief that all men possess the power to change the world.

Well, that and it represents my name.


:D

[SOteric]

10. Well heck, I just changed it a minute ago...

I had been sporting a Tlingit Orca drawing with the phrase "Go with the sky spirit, brother queet." Queet is the Tlingit word for orca. It was a final tribute to Keiko.

Today I'm sporting a scene and quote from Akira, an animated Japanese science fiction classic.

[DrWeird]

11. Should I bring back the Dr. Weird picture?

I haven't used it since we upgraded to DU2.

And there's always the one with the crazy yellow monkey holding shards of broken glass. I like that one cause it scares people.

[matcom]

12. My ASS

if it wasn't clear enough :D

:loveya:

[SoCalDem]

13. I just like the oddball or funny pictures or animations

The New DU format makes it hard though, since I like to change them weekly, and I liked the old DU's way of changing them... I could "re-visit" my old ones in the archives ...now they all change to whatever new one I find :(..

I always strive to keep them small, and that's a challenge too.. Sometimes after I downsize them, it's hard to understand them :(..

[mrfrapp]

14. Not yours, not mine, but ours

n/t

[IronLionZion]

15. helps explain my political ideology

as in I don't fit into any party so I'm an independent. It's not meant to be taken seriously. I have eclectic political views and support members of both major parties and Green too. Like the good mayor Michael Bloomberg who has supported Democratic and liberal causes while being Republican or the good General Wesley Clark who has supported Republican and conservative causes and is running as a Democrat.

If I ran for office I would just choose whichever party would likely win and pursue my progressive platform which will have liberal and conservative stances on different issues.

[proud patriot]

16. alright

Well I'm real proud of my poem so I'm showing it off ..

also just added the fascist link, go ahead click on it :D

[CShine]

18. Check this out.

I saw a link to this site on another board. I laughed my butt off all the way through it, and I couldn't resist swiping their GIF. The whole site is a damned riot.

[Kellanved]

19. OK

Mine, the Socialist's rose surrounded by Europe's stars, is the logo of the PES, the Parti Socialiste Européen or European Social Democratic Party.
It is the joint European Social Democratic party, members include the French Parti Socialist, the UK Labour, the German SPD, ...

[Superfly]

20. Mine deals with the Osaka Seafood Concern

Namely,the juxtaposition of knives and guts.

[Catch22Dem]

21. Pretty simple

Catch-22 affected me deeply. I read it once and thought it was hilarious. Then I read it again in college where the prof actually explained more of it in detail. I think it's the greatest.

The picture is of Alan Arkin and Art Garfunkel in the movie version of the book, and I think the quote I included is very appropriate.

[ronnykmarshall]

22. My two friend's website.

Both are artists (singer and photographer) and whatever support I can give them, I'll do it.

[Solly Mack]

23. Well, see...uh...you know, the doormouse?

Feed your head? Well..mine's sorta an offshoot to that...


Don't let your mouth overload your butt...so shshshshshshshshsh

[Emboldened Chimp]

24. A quote from "The Shining"

to go with my avatar and a picture of Trey Anastasio, though it's hard to tell because of the hat.

[Sentath]

25. Sig Lines!

Found mine on http://www.straightdope.com/">The Straight Dope

Can hardly believe that no one has said anything about it..

[Piperay]

26. I change mine from time to time

the one I have now I can't take credit for because I got it off of another board (not a political board). It's how I feel about arguing with RWingers and rethugs, who never seem to be informed enough to discuss the issues with intelligence.

[FarLeftRage]

27. The sig line

that I currently use, is a quote from Napoleon Bonaparte and it is his opinion of religion.

I use many different pictures and whichever one I use in a post is one that expresses the mood of the post or my mood.

[FloridaJudy]

28. No hidden agenda

My sig file means just what it says.

And my graphic is cheerfully ripped off from LordCo, the second most blasphemous site on the web (the first makes even a heathen like me gag)

[e-mail]

[DS1]

29. I really don't like Tom Kinkade

But by next week, I'll be onto something else :7

[GOPisEvil]

30. I like golf.

:shrug: What else can I say?

[populistmom]

31. Funny, I just changed mine

For awhile, I had pink roses and a quote because I love pink roses and I loved the quote. Before that, a quote, then I had my little FG "vigil" picture (I still have my own quiet internal vigil, but that's another story for another time).
My new quote goes along with my momliness, my career goals (I'm a nursing student who wants to be a lactation consultant (works with new mom to help with breastfeeding issues), and I believe it an important, yet often ignored, public health issue.
It'll change again though. Eventually.

[corporatewhore]

32. Dennis Kucinich is God so said Jello Biafra

while the dks were in cleavland been thikin about putting a pic of emma goldman and my favorite quote of hers "if i cant dance i dont want to be part of your revolution" in response to a fellow anarchist who asked her not to be goofy at a dance so it wouldnt reflect on the cause

[lpbk2713]

33. Mine just seems like a good caveat to me.

........... I know I wouldn't.

[Breezy du Nord]

34. Imagine is my all time favorite song

And when I was in elementary school the teachers always got on me about being a daydreamer.

[Pert_UK]

35. Just a Blackadder quote that seemed to fit your current Chimp....

rather too well!

P.

[Wonder_Cow]

36. I have no sig

so :P !

[Breezy du Nord]

37. Yes, but Opus is good

I used to steal all of my older brother's Bloom County books when i was younger. :P

[arwalden]

38. I Like Queer Duck because he's... well... QUEER. I like Samantha

because she's magical and had to live a semi-closeted life.
