Avatar: Dordary from Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram. This is actually made from a very cool 3D Japanese fanart of the Dordary standing in flames. It's a closeup of the mecha's head.

1: My custom text from SpaceBattles. It's from a old joke from another board I frequent, where the rumor has mutated to include Akane Tendo. I now carry the nickname "Akanepuff." :lol:

2: It's a classic Working Designs-style quote from the game Silhouette Mirage for the PSOne. It's a Treasure game, you know what to do.

3: My favorite quote from the Battletech animated series.

SIG CHRONOLOGY:

"God and the Mauser!" - Boer war cry

*********

"Sirs, perhaps there are those among you
who believe you are descended from a ape.
I suppose there may even be those among
you who believe that I am descended from
a ape. But I challenge the man to step
forward who believes that Robert E. Lee
is descended from a ape."

Said by Major General George Pickett in the movie GETTYSBURG

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

So now here we are in July 1943, engaged
in Operation Citadel -- the Kursk Offensive.

My comrades and I are on our way to the
Karachev area between Orel and Brjansk
to help make up the northern pincer. The
enemy is tough, but I will do my best to
live up to the Großdeutschland motto:

God, Honor, Fatherland!

My sig is a paraphrase of Yossarian first lament in Catch 22
I'm going to at : "Mindless violence is ok as long as our children don't hear profanity" from South Park the movie as soon as I can remember who said it
"They're trying to kill me"
"They're trying to kill everyone"
"And what difference does that make"

Shouldn't that apply to C.S. Strowbridge too?

My avatar comes from a drawing of mine. Its the main character in a fanfic that I am currently wrestling with.

My sig (which always changes pending on my inclination)is:

"I always had my suspicions that you were no mere mortal, but I never thought that you were actually a cat..."

From Trigun: Nicholas Wolfwood commenting on the disappeared Vash from... creep, can't remember the episode name... guess I'll have to watch the whole series again....

"Every man who had a statue put up of him was some kind of S.O.B. or another..."

Malcolm Renolds, the captian of Serenity on the Fox show Firefly
He was commenting to James about the small mud community that worshipped James

If you can't tell, then I think its time you took a long walk off a short pier while wearing very heavy chains

My avatar is an animated GIF with both the (very popular) Paul Kidby Librarian of Discworld fame, and the animated version of Silent Bob (who I kind of look like). Old avatars included the One Ring and the Eye of Sauron.

My sig, line by line:

"Rob "Uncle Roby" Dalton | http://daltonator.net | "Always in motion is the future." --Yoda"

Name (including future uncle status :) ), website plug, and one of my absolute favorite Star Wars quotes; I don't worry about the future. I worry about the present.

"[ BotM | ATJ | Erin go bragh | Snoochies boochies! | Today's Experiment...Failed ]"

In order, declaring my membership to both the Brotherhood of the Monkey and the Anti-Troll Jihad; Erin go Bragh means Ireland Forever (I'm part Irish), Snoochies Boochies is one of Jay's taglines (Jay from Jay and Silent Bob); the last appears at the end of each episode of Excel Saga, the most insane anime ever made.

"In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie..."

From Tolkien, of course.

I'm still looking for an Avatar (suggestions anyone?). As for my signature the first one is from the Nineth Chronicle of the Black Company: Soldiers Live, I beleive it's the last line in the book. Now the other sig I have no idea where it's originally from, nor can I remember where I found it exactly. It was either at some war website or in my e-mail.
Soldiers Live. And wonder why.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to
demonstrate.
It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the
flag."

My avatar is a Jon McGarry 3D art piece and my sig is two quotes lifted from this place. The first is obviously IXJac and the second was a little quote I had lord knows how long ago.
