Your favorite COTH poster's signature lines?

[spotted mustang]

I just read this one from TropicalStorm:

"In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. 1300 pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs - it's something you just can't get from a pet hamster."

hehe. Love it. I wanna put it on my office door, but I'd probably get in trouble for putting up suggestive material...(sorry TS :))

So...what are your favorites?

[pintopiaffe]

I don't know who they belong to... :no:

But I truly loff the Judas Collas one, something like "Sometimes she wished she was sleeping with a man instead of her dog, but at least she never felt like she was sleeping with the wrong dog... " :lol:

And I stole this one for my work siggy, (the boss HATES me) "If you can't set a good example, at least serve as a horrible warning."

[yaya]

I have the sig lines turned off, so I don't see any.

I prefer it that way. Too cluttered otherwise.

[Dirty Little Secret]

"it must be true- I read it on the internet"

[ArW-729]

I'm not too sure whose it is....

"you don't need the whole pig just to get a little sausage!"

Thats my favorite and it catches my eye everytime I see it!

[Big Day]

Not sure who has this one but it makes me smile every time...

"Where am I and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

[DMK]

Nope, not me, nosirree...

years ago someone had one that said something along the lines of "When I grow old I want to die i my sleep like Grandma, not screaming in terror like her passengers" or something like that.

[pony89]

I like the one that is something like "Always on the verge of brilliance or disaster."

[Applesauce]

Not sure who has this one but it makes me smile every time...

"Where am I and what am I doing in this handbasket?"


As soon as I read the topic this is the sig line that came to my mind too! LOL!! My personal favorite as well.

[FlashGordon]

I like the one that is something like "Always on the verge of brilliance or disaster."

I like that one too... I think it was THomas_1 who said it, and another COTHer has it in their sig line... great quote!!

DMK personally I'm a fan of your current sig line... I think I need to chant that to myself every morning.... ugh....

[DMK]

I like to think of my "location" as a statement of fact. My sig is just stuff I'd like to remember... :D

[mcm7780]

I like the one that says something about 2 horse people, 3 opinions. It's so true! :lol:

[pony grandma]

I also enjoyed these so much that I put them in a file! Very clever minded, and oh-so-true! :)


I'M NOT RICH!!!...I CAN'T EVEN PAY ATTENTION.

If you believe everything you read, better not read. -- Japanese Proverb

Just wish the horses and riders BOTH would get off drugs, the only thing to be SMOKING is the competition.

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. 1300 pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs - it's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.

"Was that a release or was that epilepsy? I couldn't tell..."

I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Then find someone whose life gave them vodka and have a party.

Take a shot of whatever and relax.

If you think your hairstyle is more important than your brain, you're probably right.

Awwww, mine is in the list! :)

Are you going to live your life standing in the back looking around? --J.W.


Ha... that's one of my favorite songs. It's a line from "A Praise Chorus," by Jimmy Eat World, often abbreviated JEW, but never JW, as far as I know. ;)

[Hey Nineteen]

My favorite, (other than DMK's handbasket line) goes something like: "If life hands you a lemon, make lemonade - then find someone who life gave vodka and have a party!" :D

[prudence]

"Men are easy. If they aren't horny, give them a ham sandwich."

Can't remember whose tag line that was, but I remember she was a kick in the pants.

[DMK]

I used the Texas line for years, but I LOVE the bacteria line and the lemonade line.

[TPC Ranch]

Someone has one that says something like - "A person is smart. People are dumb panicky animalsm and you know it."

And - "You can't leave! All the plants are gonna die"

[LD1129]

Oh I have been trying to find the one that said something along the lines of...

The man in charge of the free world was rendered unconscious by a pretzel.

Thats not it but close, if you know the real one I have been looking for it!

[zagafi]

My fave is "2 horse people, 3 opinions. That's just the way it is." I've oft quoted that at my barn...

[kari]

Coreene always has a great one....the latest one from the beauty pagent cracked me up.

[Phaxxton]

My favorite is the one quoting slc2 -- something about she'll respond later when she's less tired... and not drunk. :lol:

I can't recall the exact line offhand. :confused:

[Tazzie]

I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

The first time I heard this was watching my all time favorite comedian Mitch Hedberg. I don't know if he was the first to say it.

He had lots of very witty very funny things to say! Sadly he's not with us anymore. Reminds me that I need to order some of his stuff.

[Aggie4Bar]

Someone has one that says something like - "A person is smart. People are dumb panicky animalsm and you know it."Awww... Evidence people do read my posts (or at least my sig line). :D

The line is from Men in Black. Tommy Lee Jones' character said it.

[ReeseTheBeast]

I've always loved Gnalli's: "She may not have changed the stars from their courses, but she loved a good man, and she rode good horses…." It doesn't apply to me (well, at least the "good man" part doesn't :winkgrin:) but I've always loved the sig.

And here's a list of some of my other favorites, although I don't know who I got them from (yes, I actually do have a file that I've copied and pasted various favorite quotes into :lol:):

I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of stars makes me dream." --Vincent Van Gogh

"When life gives you lemons. . .say &%^# you lemons! And throw those lemons back in life's face so that it will be afraid of you and won't try that crap again!"

"In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people angry and has widely been considered as a bad move."

"Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak."

"Don't fall for a girl who fell for a horse just to be number two in her world..." ~EFO

(through horses to the stars)

"She was not to be wooed with any gifts but horses, and a woman who cares only for horses can be a tiresome creature to live with." - Catherine Gaskin

"This it be all wot we want in life, wenn peoples dey loff us." ~ Willem

"What contemptible scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch?"--W.C. Fields

"Once the horse moved man's physical body...from one place to another. Nowadays all it moves is a part or a whole of his bank account... [by] trying to keep owning and feeding it." William Faulkner

I don't want to be a *god*. I just want to bring fire to the people... and I want my cut."

[talkofthetown]

This one always makes me smile when I read it.

Equus Makeus Brokus

It's in MistyBlue's sig, I believe.

[BigHorseLittleHorse]

"In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people angry and has widely been considered as a bad move."

I love this one too! By the way, it's a Douglas Adams quote (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

[Westlaw]

Don't know whose this is, but I love

"Of course I can ride. I was riding when I fell off of my horse!"

[Equilibrium]

Don't know to whom it belongs, but my favorite is:

Nothing like drinking a beer and watching a man work!

I just laugh every time.

I saw this one today in the paper that made me laugh.

Family is like Fudge, mostly sweet with a few nuts scattered around!

Terri

[bosox]

This one always makes me smile when I read it.

Equus Makeus Brokus


I smile, laugh and cry when I read that one...as it is sooooo true.

[Bluey]

I have also seen some other neat ones to remember:

Don't alienate, educate.:yes:

Accidents happen in the best run universes.:(

If you don't pay the exorcist, will you be repossessed?:eek:

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.:lol:

[arabhorse2]

"Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak."

That one was mine Reese, until I found the most recent gem I'm sporting. I loff that, and will probably use it again at some time. :lol:

[JohnDeere]

"What contemptible scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch?"--W.C. Fields

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I used to work for someone like that...

[mielikko]

I liked the one that went something like, "If the world were a logical place, men would ride sidesaddle."

[Sentry Chick]

"When life gives you lemons. . .say &%^# you lemons! And throw those lemons back in life's face so that it will be afraid of you and won't try that crap again!"


I do like this one!!!! I feel like saying this often. :lol:

[Mngirl]

"The horse stopped with a jerk, and the jerk fell off".

[Event4Life]

"No hour is lost spent in the saddle" (or something close to that) - Winston Churchill

[Anyplace Farm]

Not sure who has this one but it makes me smile every time...

"Where am I and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
Augh!!! Me too! I love that one and I can't remember whose it is.

[Laurierace]

I can't remember who to give the proper credit to but my favorite signature that I have seen on COTH is "When life gives you lemons, stick them down your shirt to make your boobs look bigger."

Edited to add that at the moment I would be looking rather Dolly Partonish if I took this literally!

[Eq3nStar]

I love the one about mares being like neutrons!

[Pony Person]

If you don't pay the exorcist, will you be repossessed?:eek:

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.:lol:
:lol::lol:
I don't know who has this one but it's quite funny and I think it goes something like this:
"Nothing at all...Nothing at all! Stupid Flanders!"

[zannebar]

:lol::lol:
I don't know who has this one but it's quite funny and I think it goes something like this:

DMK personally I'm a fan of your current sig line... I think I need to chant that to myself every morning.... ugh....

When describing competing with Thoroughbreds I said you are always on the edge of brilliance or disaster.

And I was asked if it could be used as a signature line. There seems to be a few posters using my quotes :yes:

[RiddleMeThis]

Arab horse I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your sig!!!!


I'm such a bad cook, if I leave dental floss in the kitchen, the roaches hang themselves.

[TB or not TB?]

Must give a shout out to all the Firefly siggies out there.. you know who you are. ;)

[TropicalStorm]

I just read this one from TropicalStorm:

"In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. 1300 pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs - it's something you just can't get from a pet hamster."

hehe. Love it. I wanna put it on my office door, but I'd probably get in trouble for putting up suggestive material...(sorry TS :))

So...what are your favorites?


Not a problem ;) Although I had it in my cubicle for a while and got some pretty funny looks. That and "there's nothing like having 17hands between your legs" - not too many people got that one ;) so I kinda had to take it down...

[see u at x]

There are several that have already been mentioned that I love, but I think my most recent favorite was from Coreene and it was totally non horse related:

"An unrecognized historical moment occured when, during the brief time that Cheney was having heart surgery to replace his defibrilator, George W. Bush was president."

I also liked the one she had about George Clooney. :yes:

[spotted mustang]

That and "there's nothing like having 17hands between your legs" - not too many people got that one

I get it: that's 8 guys and a one-armed man. Dang. You're popular! (Or a professional?)
;)

[kellyb]

I like that one too... I think it was THomas_1 who said it, and another COTHer has it in their sig line... great quote!!


Yup, that's me!

Thomas originally said it in reference to people who drive TB's, but I thought it applied (pretty heavily) to my TB riding mare also. She's never just 'so-so'...she's literally either brilliant, or freakin' awful :lol:

[DMK]

I totally love Portia's current sig, but you have to be a Daily Show/Aasif Mandvi fan to get that one... ;)

"Now is not the time for negativity, Jon. Let's give glasses-wearing security kittens a chance to work."

[kellyb]

"When life gives you lemons. . .say &%^# you lemons! And throw those lemons back in life's face so that it will be afraid of you and won't try that crap again!"


I LOVEEEEE that one, I forget whose it is but I LOL'd at work when I read it :D

[kellyb]

I love the one about mares being like neutrons!

I like that too. I forget how it goes though??

[Equine Obsession]

The first time I heard this was watching my all time favorite comedian Mitch Hedberg. I don't know if he was the first to say it.

He had lots of very witty very funny things to say! Sadly he's not with us anymore. Reminds me that I need to order some of his stuff.

LOVE Mitch Hedburg's Stuff!

This one always makes me smile when I read it.

Equus Makeus Brokus

It's in MistyBlue's sig, I believe.

I've always loved that one.


**When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Then find someone whose life gave them vodka and have a party.

This one is my favorite right now:
" I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in the body. Then I realized who was telling me this."
~Emo Phillips

[GypsyQ]

Cool, I made the list. :) I need to change it to give Mr. Adams the credit.

I like these:

I'm such a bad cook, if I leave dental floss in the kitchen, the roaches hang themselves.

Silence is golden, and duct tape is silver.

Crazy is just another point of view.


Probably more later.

[shea'smom]

TB or not TB, I always notice your sig!
Coreene's last one about the beauty queen made me laugh out loud, a rare occurance!

[Sansena]

Twang

Twang

TOINK!!

Damned stupid wand. Now I'm gonna have to muck these stalls by hand!

[Innfilly]

My most recent favourite is:

"Gallop as if you were to die tomorrow, jump as if you were to live forever."

I don't remember who's sig, or who the quote was from, but its pretty inspiring. :D

[TropicalStorm]

I get it: that's 8 guys and a one-armed man. Dang. You're popular! (Or a professional?)
;)

One must be a lady about these things and not kiss and tell :P
Although let me tell you, I got more then one interested look from my male co-workers! ;)

[WNT]

TB or Not TB, you inspired my choice when I read your sig line. Yay Browncoats!

One of my favorites went along the lines of not wanting to die in pristine condition, but with a bar of chocolate in one hand, a martini in the other, skidding sideways to the curb in a snazzy sportscar saying "What a ride!". I can never remember it exactly, but I really like it.

And anthing from Douglas Adams or Calvin and Hobbes is A-OK in my book!

[Risk-Averse Rider]

"This it be all wot we want in life, wenn peoples dey loff us." ~ WillemThis one always used to make me all verklempt.

Apparently, it still does. :sadsmile:

[Chief2]

This is the funniest thread I've seen all night, and I've also been up on youtube! Great creative minds and fabulous lines!
Two favorites: Always on the verge of brilliance or disaster (Thomas1)
and, When life gives you lemons, stick 'em down your shirt and make boobs!
Priceless! Thanks for the laugh tonight, folks! :)

[LessonLearned]

Glad to know I could be of service! :D


I LOVEEEEE that one, I forget whose it is but I LOL'd at work when I read it :D

[criss]

Sansena, that's Barnfairy's sig. I know this because I thought the line was so funny, and I looked at the poster's name, and went "Ohhh, right, that actually makes total sense." :)

[LLDM]

Most of my favs have already been mentioned. But there is the one that goes something like:

"He hoped and prayed that there was no God, but then he thought about it, and after that he merely hoped."

I has to be a Douglas Adams line. ;)

SCFarm

[carp]

I haven't seen this siggy lately, but I always got a chuckle from "You couldn't get a clue during the clue mating season in a field full of horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the clue mating dance."

I was pretty surprised to come across this quote: "Don't fall for a girl who fell for a horse just to be number two in her world..." ~EFO Seeing the quote on CoTH brought together two parts of my life which normally don't intersect at all: horses and indy bands. It's from the song, "Horse," by a group is called Eddie From Ohio, which actually comes from Virginia. The album is "This is Me."A few years ago the guy who wrote it, Mike Clem, was hitting up his concert audiences for donations to his local therapeutic riding program. One of his kids has some developmental issues and was getting a lot of benefit from the program.

[LSM1212]

I just read this one from TropicalStorm:

"In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. 1300 pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs - it's something you just can't get from a pet hamster."

hehe. Love it. I wanna put it on my office door, but I'd probably get in trouble for putting up suggestive material...(sorry TS :))

So...what are your favorites?

I have to agree. This is my all time favorite.

But I do like this one too:

I like the one that says something about 2 horse people, 3 opinions. It's so true! :lol:

And I believe "findeight" is the poster who has this in her siggy.

[Dressage Art]

LOVE this thread - since I have hundreds of products based on quotes, proverbs and sayings... but always looking for the new ones.

Let's see... my personal favorites from what I already have in my store are:

***********************

"I train horses - to eat carrots" - came up with that one from my personal experience ;)

"Horses are scared of 2 things: 1) Things that move 2) Things that don't" - old cowboy saying.

"Tell a gelding, Ask a stallion, Discuss it with a mare" - old Arabic proverb

"Well behaved horses rarely make it to Grand Prix" - a take on the saying "Well behaved women rarely make a history"

"Mares Rule, Stallions drool" - a take on the cats rule, and dogs drool

"The hardest thing about learning to ride is the ground"

"Mares are from Venus, Stallions are from Mars, Geldings are from heaven"

"Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses" - Elizabeth Taylor.

"Every horse is a self portrait of the rider. Autograph your work with excellence. "

"One Man's Wrong Lead Is Another Man's Counter Canter.”

Whatever you are, be a good one!

Instant rider - just add a horse

Danger! Bucking hazard!

How do you catch a loose horse? Make a noise like a carrot - this one is from somebody from COTH (love it!!!)

******************

Now, I am off to creating a new product inspired by this thread: a pic of a huge draft horse with a saying: "there's nothing like having 17hands between your legs" :D

[Texarkana]

I was pretty surprised to come across this quote: "Don't fall for a girl who fell for a horse just to be number two in her world..." ~EFO Seeing the quote on CoTH brought together two parts of my life which normally don't intersect at all: horses and indy bands. It's from the song, "Horse," by a group is called Eddie From Ohio, which actually comes from Virginia.

One of his kids has some developmental issues and was getting a lot of benefit from the program.

Hey, I just looked at this thread and who knew my little sig line was on here. :lol:

In my world, horses and indy bands intersect all the time! I'm glad someone else knows the song, as it should be the theme song for the significant others of probably 99% of the posters here.

It's a shame about Mike Clem's kid... I hadn't heard that.

Not a sig line, and it's already been discussed... but I love DMK's location. Love it. Wish I had thought of using it first!

[Mrsmph]

"This it be all wot we want in life, wenn peoples dey loff us." ~ Willem

My favorite too!!!

[Stacie]

"Tell a gelding, Ask a stallion, Discuss it with a mare" - old Arabic proverb


I'd always heard that as

"Tell a gelding, Ask a mare, Discuss it with a stallion"

Maybe that's the difference between the Middle East and the West :lol:

[Dressage Art]

I'd always heard that as

"Tell a gelding, Ask a mare, Discuss it with a stallion"

Or may be they just have lots of experience with Arabian horses? ;)

Stupid sexy Flanders. ;)

Whoops! I love The Simpsons!:yes:

[Sannois]

whos this is but its something like.. The gene pool could use some clorine! :D

[lstevenson]

My favorite, (other than DMK's handbasket line) goes something like: "If life hands you a lemon, make lemonade - then find someone who life gave vodka and have a party!" :D



Isn't this from Ron White, the comedian?

[SaturdayNightLive]

Aw, I'm all excited that my sig line got mentioned!

[BarnBrat]

Haven't seen this one in awhile but it's always been one of my favorites:

"If I wanted to hear the pitter patter of little feet I'd put shoes on my cat"

[Dressage Art]

I like:

"I would rather be posting on my horse" that's Velvet's sig line.

[Ware Whip!]

"The only way you can change a man, is if hes wearing diapers"

W W!

[OnThinIce]

First of all, I'm honored my sig was quoted :D and I love reading the funny ones, but these are the ones I've saved...

Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

My treasures do not cling together nor glitter... They gleam in the sun, and neigh in the night.

A good rider can hear his horse speak to him. A great rider can hear his horse whisper.

When a horse greets you with a nicker and regards you with a large and liquid eye, the question of where you want to be and what you want to do has been answered.

This it be all wot we want in life, wenn peoples dey loff us. ~ Willem

(That Willem...now I'm all verklempt. :sadsmile:)

[~Freedom~]

One of my favorites went along the lines of not wanting to die in pristine condition, but with a bar of chocolate in one hand, a martini in the other, skidding sideways to the curb in a snazzy sportscar saying "What a ride!". I can never remember it exactly, but I really like it.



That one was mine but I have changed my siggy now. COTH has changed my outlook.

Here is the original.

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave intending to arrive safely in an attractive, well preserved body, rather to skid in sideways with chocolate in one hand and martini in the other.

[MEP]

I also agree that Coreene's frequent changes of sig line are always pretty darn amusing.

I like Caffeinated's:

"It takes a whole lot of testosterone to wear a beret and not look fruity"

When I saw those cool USET portraits of top riders & horses, there was Steffen Peters wearing a beret, and all I could think of was that sig line.

[CarolinaGirl]

"When life gives you lemons. . .say &%^# you lemons! And throw those lemons back in life's face so that it will be afraid of you and won't try that crap again!"
I LOVEEEEE that one, I forget whose it is but I LOL'd at work when I read it :D

I do believe that is Lessonlearned's siggy line.

I have no clue who it was, and I think they're healed so I can't find it but it went something like this: Now typing one handed as of (insert date), but MAN it was good ride! That always made me smile lol.

[BumbleBee]

"I have no clue who it was, and I think they're healed so I can't find it but it went something like this: Now typing one handed as of (insert date), but MAN it was good ride! That always made me smile lol.

I do believe that was BuddyRoo

[BuddyRoo]

Yep...'twas me.....now that I have both hands back, I figured I better pull it. :D

[Poll Evil]

I don't remember whose it was...but something like:

I can only guess I'm paying off karma at an excellerated rate.

[CentreEquestre]

-If at first you don't succeed, the cast comes off in 4-6 weeks-

[BeastieSlave]

Dyslexics of the world - Untie! (or something like that) cracks me up every time :lol:

[Giddy-up]

That one was mine but I have changed my siggy now. COTH has changed my outlook.

Here is the original.

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave intending to arrive safely in an attractive, well preserved body, rather to skid in sideways with chocolate in one hand and martini in the other.

I had something like that too--got it from the bottom of a friend's forwarded email...maybe a Maxine cartoon??

[sk_pacer]

Awwwwww, Beastie, thanks for the mention. Unfortunately, that is how I read things sometimes...on the other hand it DOES make some posts far more interesting than they really are.

[BeastieSlave]

Awwwwww, Beastie, thanks for the mention. Unfortunately, that is how I read things sometimes...on the other hand it DOES make some posts far more interesting than they really are.

I don't think I'm dyslexic, but I misread a lot of thread titles! There are many, many threads that I would never have bothered to open if I didn't think they were 'unusual' (and discovered upon reading that I was entirely wrong) :lol:

[Mudroom]

from another board:

"not even common sense can stop us now!"

[Irishrose261]

I'm a fan of the one that says "an NPR mind in a Fox News world." :)

[Aggie4Bar]

"not even common sense can stop us now!"ROFL! You've no idea how tempting it is to print that one out to put on my office wall. :lol: :lol: :lol:

One of the project managers here - scarily enough, a P.E. - told me last year when I presented a working redesign for some faulty hydraulics, "But that's a solution. We don't need a solution. We need to analyze the problem!" :rolleyes: I swore to my boss that if I ever had to work on a project with that guy again, I'd quit on the spot. The lack of common sense - or any sense - is frustrating beyond words.

[TheJenners]

My favorite is the one quoting slc2 -- something about she'll respond later when she's less tired... and not drunk. :lol:

I can't recall the exact line offhand. :confused:

OMG that's mine! I made the list...hell, I made a list! Woot woot!!

My fav so far in this list is: "Men are easy. If they aren't horny, give them a ham sandwich." Ever so true; made me glad to throw my lot back in with the heterosexual crowd! :lol:

[IveGotRhythm]

My all-time favorite signature line was Saturday Night Live's but since she doesn't use it anymore it can't quote it exactly. Something like:

Somewhere between the rider you were and the rider you are now was a girl who fell in love with a horse and never looked back. Ride for her.

If anyone has this right, please correct me. It really was my all time favorite.

[Twiliath]

One of my fave's is Cherry's. It goes something like this: I'm in PA, where, if it makes sense, we just don't do it!

Since I now live in PA, I get it. Nothing makes sense here.

I like Caffeinated's:

"It takes a whole lot of testosterone to wear a beret and not look fruity"

When I saw those cool USET portraits of top riders & horses, there was Steffen Peters wearing a beret, and all I could think of was that sig line.

I'm not invisible! yay!

Actually, credit goes to my bestest friend, who said that after going on a date with a European professional soccer (er... football) player, who showed up wearing a beret.

Dyslexics of the world - Untie! (or something like that) cracks me up every time :lol:

I find myself saying this one quite frequently when I'm having a verbal dyslexia moment :lol:

The first time I heard this was watching my all time favorite comedian Mitch Hedberg. I don't know if he was the first to say it.

He had lots of very witty very funny things to say! Sadly he's not with us anymore. Reminds me that I need to order some of his stuff.

Do you know the Hedberg skit that refers to McDonald's and he says he is going to be a non conforming McDonald's owner? something like this: "we don't have burgers, but we got spaghetti......and blankets" and we're not associated with that clown either.."

Now every blooming time I ask my son if he wants spaghetti for dinner - he says "only with blankets"..

you just have to listen to him...he's very dry...and quite unusual..and has that different slant on things.

sorry for the thread drift..I hardly ever "meet" someone who knows about Mitch Hedberg.

lol...

[rhymeswithfizz]

Not sure who has this one but it makes me smile every time...

"Where am I and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

:D :D :D
thanks!

I will continue the hijack. My husband and I had tickets to see Mitch on April 1st. I am driving to work that morning listening to the comedy channel on XM radio and I heard them say that he had died. I was concerned for a minute then I remembered that it was April Fool's day and figured it was a prank. It wasn't until I got home that afternoon that I looked it up on the internet and found out it was true. I came VERY close to seeing his last show, but not close enough. Seriously, how does a comedian die on April Fool's day?

[rhymeswithfizz]

I stole this one from a COTH-er long ago and put it on my trailer tire cover:

"The wind of heaven is that which flows between a horse's ears"

[tenacity]

I think my favorite is something like:

"One woman's wrong lead is another woman's countercanter."

That's a classic - and so true!

My present circumstances also have made me think of the signature line that goes something like.. "stay me with chocolate, for I am sick of love."
Now I can't find it, but it's stuck in my head!

Wow. That just made me laugh for about 10 minutes...."only with blankets." whoooo....

I miss Mitch.

[Anyplace Farm]

:D :D :D
thanks!
I feel like this was someone else's signature before it was yours. The one I remember was something like, "Where am I and what the hell am I doing in this handbasket." Now that's gonna drive me crazy -- can't remember who it was.

Beats me - I stole it from a bumper sticker a while back and haven't bothered to change it since. :D

Wait, I actually went and checked some of my ancient posts... I've had that silly signature since 2001. Would that make me lazy or just consistent? :LOL:

Yeah, I think the other person had, "Where the hell am I and what am I doing in this handbasket?" Hence ye old 'hell in a handbasket'. Wonder who it was? It definitely is a good one and does make people's days so it's important you keep it alive, rhymeswithfizz! Since we can't seem to find the old poster, someone should carry the flag!

Definitely some good sigs on here. I find some very inspirational.

[DMK]

Anyplace - it's been my location since I joined this board. But never in my sig. (It used to be a bumper sticker on my car ... along with one that said "Why Be Normal" and was on ... upside down.) Uh, given our relative ancientness, BB-wise, that might be what you are remembering. ;)

ETA - with this new BB software, when you change your sig, it changes all your past posts, except that if you have posts from the old BB software, it adds the new sig after the old one. Makes it harder to remember some of the great past sigs.

I also love Mitch hedburg, he was hilarious.

"I don't have a girlfriend, but I do know a woman who would be really mad if she heard me say that". :lol:

Holy cow, how completely oblivious am I that I never noticed that!!! Love it!

[Gnalli]

I like Barn Fairy's- its something like
"toing,
toing,
TOINK* stupid wand, now I have to clean the stalls myself."

I love it. I just imagine an oversized Tinkerbell with muck boots on doing that.

[Mozart]

Yours is pretty darn good too, I might add.

Okay, you have all inspired me to add one too. Hopefully I have not accidentally pilfered someone else's.

[kookicat]

Must give a shout out to all the Firefly siggies out there.. you know who you are. ;)

Love yours!! :D :D Great show. :yes:

[findeight]

Thank you, thank you...can't remember where I lifted that but it's not original.

Previously I used a quote from WC Fields "Yes I am drunk and you're crazy. I'll wake up tomorrow sober. You'll be crazy for the rest of your life".

My favorite is Lordhelpus' "I want to die peacefully in my sleep just like grandpa. Not screaming like the others in the car he was driving".:lol:

Remember? Who said anything about remembering? :lol: In my state of mind, I don't remember JACK!

[DMK]

Well Jack is fairly forgettable, but what about Alex? :p

[petitefilly]

:D :D :D
thanks!

Hey--- Where is the handbasket and how do I get in too? LOL You make me laugh with this sig line too. I always picture the horse holding the basket handle with a big smile on his face. :)

[Anyplace Farm]

Alex....Alex....Alex.... so ringing a bell......hmmmm....

[Anyplace Farm]

Hey--- Where is the handbasket and how do I get in too? LOL You make me laugh with this sig line too. I always picture the horse holding the basket handle with a big smile on his face. :)
I always picture Toto peeking out from under a gingham cloth, in the basket with a, "We're not in Kansas anymore" expression on his face.

I think there's something wrong w/me. Either that or I have an overly active imagination.
