I own a small, easy to read book that is a fictional account of an abandoned Marine's walk through the desert years ago. Fictional, obviously, because his remains were found months later and who knows what the walk was like. I read it about every six months and it motivates me. Not the Marine dying part of it, of course, but such things as the Belleau Wood accounts and what-not. Just my own motivation.

I quit hanging out on a site one time because they wouldn't let me use a particular signature. What was it?

...and he raped her and killed her then he took her home, excitable boy they all said...

I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Just a line from a Warren Zevon tune that fit the username I was using at the time. I should have saved that for use at Ars, where they let you cuss and all.

This has to be one of the most interesting posts I have seen here in quite some time.
Ae mere pyare watan, ae mere bichde chaman
Tujh pe dil kurbaan.
lawaris - could you tell us (me?) what language this is?
I am not a linguist by any means, but this is totally unfamiliar to me.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is one of my favorite movies and that's one of my favorite quotes from the movie.

That and this thread made me realize that the only thing that was in my signature was a link to my rig page.

Mine now indicates that I will be on vacation starting tomorrow and will NOT be checking into AT.

There's more to life than AT *hears gasping all around him*

*checks what's currently in her sig*

Oh, I liked Vespasian's line, so it earns a temporary spot.
People constantly challenged me about my name and I got tired of the accusations so I put in the pics and the disclaimer.
gopunk made some awesome moves in a tough situation and I think he deserves the title.

I like that quote :). It's from "Dune" in case you don't.

I change my sig frequently the previous one was the "Cry havoc, and release the cows of war!" i used it because the image of "releasing the cows of war" was funny and it fit my avatar :). I also promoted Gopunk for Elite, because he deserves it.

Bwahaha... it's so true! I could fix computers all day long at my h.s... literally. I could fix the hardest problems they had from 7AM till 3PM... and, still, my home rig would go nuts if I so much as took the cover off.
