Who reads sigs?

Who, other than your obsessive self, bothers to actually type their signature one each and every post, instead of adding it to their automatic signature lines or just letting the default message board software identify them as the author?

Who reads sigs?

Who, other than your obsessive self, bothers to actually type their signature one each and every post, instead of adding it to their automatic signature lines or just letting the default message board software identify them as the author?

Because I don't use it on every post..... just every regular post.......

And you would think if anything gets burned into your head, it would be the signature lines since they are repeated on every post. I knew vettech's airdate without having to go back and look at the signature line this morning.....

[MarleysGh0st]

Yeah, you don't sign your innumerable MM posts. That doesn't change my point.

And you would think if anything gets burned into your head, it would be the signature lines since they are repeated on every post. I knew vettech's airdate without having to go back and look at the signature line this morning.....

Which is precisely why I tend to skip over the sigs. Someone may have a very nice or meaningful quotation there, but who needs to read it every time that person posts (particularly when the quotation may have absolutely no relationship to that particular post)?

Which just goes to show how differently our minds go about comprehending what's on the screen....

You can look at a post and block out the signature...... I can't. I don't really read it, but it's there and I see it. Because it's usually short and sweet compared to the post, sometimes I remember it better than what the actual content of the post is....

And it doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, if it isn't a short story, I'll end up reading it again.... and again..... and again.......

Short attention span theater.....

What? Please remember that the White Hot Glare is working 24/7 for you! Don't let it think you're ungrateful, you ingrate.

Oh, I'm grateful.

Even if I haven't yet tried out either the Hot Seat or the Hot Podium...

Honestly? I don't.

Yeah, yeah, I knew there'd be a few exceptions.

So why do you do it?

[MarleysGh0st]

It's funny how a simple transcript has turned into a discussion of our various Bored quirks since Kat joined us.

If this doesn't scare her away...

[kmk355]

so look for me in rural New England, but not for another 30 years.

Trust me, it's not what it's cracked up to be.

I grew up in a tiny New England town! Not on a farm, though, but there were a few down the street. I love New York City, and I expect to be here for my whole career, but I'd still sort of like to retire to an alpaca farm someday. Because when I'm 55, backbreaking labor is what I'll really want to do, right?

The farm has actually been an ongoing joke for a bunch of my friends. On rough days, we all joke about running away together and living on our farm in the middle of nowhere. I'm having alpacas, someone else wants chickens, a third friend is going to bring her tiny cocker spaniel to herd everything. . . .

Thanks -- I'm glad I was interesting to watch! I felt bad I didn't have a lot of fascinating stories :p

Sadly, all the money (all of it that's left after taxes, anyway!) is going straight to student loans. The alpaca farm is more of a retirement plan, so look for me in rural New England, but not for another 30 years.

Would you consider a llama farm instead? We have a lot of llama experts around here.

Haha, I did get this reference! No, alpacas are much nicer.

Congrats on you winnings Kat!

Thanks! I wish I could spend them on something more fun, but this will be better in the long run. The sad part is that after taxes, it'll be barely a drop in the bucket! My loans were apparently, uh, mismanaged.

I really can't wait to see the shows of a few other people! There were about 10 of us taping that day, and we all had to get there early in the morning, then spent the whole day locked up together with nothing to do but talk. Some of them were really great people -- I'm curious about how everyone did!

It doesn't look like they're going to start showing the rest until after the holidays, right? My day of taping actually began with Jill Brim, whose episode aired on December 15, and they've gone right in order since then.

Right, they're doing two weeks of repeats. New episodes should resume on January 3.

Same here, cows across the street and everything. Now I'm in a more suburban area, but I'm still freezing my butt off, so I'm a little grumpy. Come springtime* I'm much more charitable towards my home state.

*only about 5 months to go!

[tlynn78]

So why do you do it?

Hmm, don't know. I would say to annoy you, but til now I didn't know it did.

I do the same thing with my emails at work - I guess I probably started doing it so peeps would know I actually authored the email and not my assistant. Old habits die hard, I suppose.

Question 2 - ZZ Top 40
"Zip it on around while it's on the ground" is a lyric in a 1985 ZZ Top hit titled what?
A. Hammock B. Water Bed
C. Sleeping Bag D. Murphy Bed

ATA

A-1% B-3% C-91% D-5%

Answer and value

C. Sleeping Bag
Value: $1000
Bank: $11000

Seeing the reference to this Q in the other thread.....

I couldn't pick that lyric out of that song for anything, but Sleeping Bag was about the only post-Eliminator song of ZZ Top's that is worth a damn..... and it follows the ZZ Top tradition of kickass music videos....

And I just checked.... when I used Sleeping Bag in this year's LSWE (My Lyrically Speaking game I run here, not another weird show-related acronym), I did not use that lyric in my clue.....
