What's Got Into that Sig?

[Wild Gazebo]

Mine is a succinct commentary on postmodernist motivation pertaining to the disenfranchisement of innovative vernacular within the medium of electronic messaging. Specifically, I allude to the imbrication of cross-contextual medias referencing contemporary entertainment and its relevance (or irrelevance) to electronic discourse. Without ignoring the implications presented by modernist or historical idiosyncrasies; but, resisting the lure of the sentimental, I employ a minimalist approach to more accurately portray the elemental nature of my colloquial commentary.

My signature is there, so all this great work wasn't done for nothing. (BTW: check it out!)

Mine's from a movie no one ever saw. At least, the second line.

Really? I loved Pump Up the Volume.

My signature line is just what it claims to be, an excerpt from a Chinese Buddhist manuscript originating in the 5th or 6th century CE, describing Fusang, the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. I'm from Vancouver, British Columbia, one of the most Chinese places in North America, pretty geographically close to where Fusang is supposed to be. I've always considered BC to be a pretty lame name and so I hope that one day the province's name is changed to the one the Chinese Empire picked for it, instead of the one the British Empire picked for it.

Now that I live in Central Canada, the Fusang handle is all the more important for me as I grumble about Toronto's primitive Chinatown and intermittent shiitake mushroom shortages.

hmmm.
My sig is a quote from a character who is developing a healthy sense of paranoia about being underground.

Mine is a quote from the best RPG related webcomic there is, the awesome Order of the Stick by Rich Burlew, which savagely lampoons 3rd edition D&D while also being a very cool saga in itself, and demonstrating the authors clear love for the game he takes the mick out of. Also the Chimera's reaction of "Wait, what?" is pretty much my reaction as a DM every time my resident genius wizard Aeron (played by Phil in my group of 8 players) uses some obscure spell to do something horrible to my monsters. I'd never heard of Gedlee's Electric Loop or Horizorkuls Boom (at least I think that's how they are spelt!) before he cast them... I know them well enough now!!!

As for the link to my storyhour, heh, a little self promotion never hurt anyone, and I get more people to take a look and see what I put my group through every friday night.

Still I think I'll change my sig soon, getting a bit bored of this one now. So for reference at the time of posting, my sig was:

Vaarsuvius: Fireball!
Chimera: Arrrrgh!
Vaarsuvius: Lightning Bolt!
Chimera: Arrrrgh!
Vaarsuvius: Evan's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion!!!
Chimera: Wait, what? ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
Roy: Oof, that has GOT to be uncomfortable.

Read The Order of the Stick webcomic.

First is naturally a link to my website, while the second is a quote from Horror Express in which Peter Cushing makes known his displeasure at the suggestion he or Christopher Lee could be playing host to the alien monster.

Adds for my two favorite conservation websites/charities. I hope that I do have an effect on the number of people who visit them.

I have used the following on other boards:

Personally I think the vast majority of Prestige Classes combined with the veritable zoo of monsterous and half-monsterous PC races makes D&D into a heinously silly amalgam of a modern fantasy comic book and Pokemon on acid.

-Jubilex

So true.

It's an animated gif to link to my Clay Web Site, as made by the one and only wonderful (contact).

 

[AuroraGyps]

It's weird that you post this question just after I changed my sig. It needed changing badly. It's from a graphic novel I picked up from the library and it's by the same guy that co-created Gloomcookie. I just thought it was the perfect quote for me.

 

[Jeff Wilder]

Mine contains, encoded, the lesser known comedic work of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. I've thrown in a smattering of central African insect larvae recipes, as well ... you never know when a reader might get hungry for maggot tartar.
