I've been collecting 'Sig' lines and various EPIC statements

[Ratty]

Some day I'll make a giant poster for the M&G or I'll put them all on small signs in the JOTS. Right now I'm just collecting by-lines and famous quotes from anyone on Eplaya. The most likely use would be for nametags at the Wednesday night get together. If you have anything to add, send it. I don't really care if you make it up or the person actually posted it. (How could that possibly matter). So $ue me. I'll quote some socking asshat as saying something that he wasn't bright enough to think of. Sorry about the improper sentence structure. You post it attributed to ______. I'll save it and I'll use it. It's all in good fun, right?

I started saving these last year when I was planning a panel outside Center Camp. My idea was to promote Eplaya through an art piece on the back-side of the cafe. It was daunting. They wanted an 8' by 8' area filled with my talent. I think my painting talent could fill a 2 square inch pallet. I folded like a cheap card table.

That's terrific Ratty! Feel free to lift my sig-line. I have been doing this shit for 13 years and still feel the burn.
Maybe there's an ointment for this.

Uh, Robbi… you don't appear to have a sig line lol.

Oh wait, that's 'cuz Ratty lifted it!

[unjonharley]

just now upgraded mine..

[tamarakay]

I think its a great idea ratty. You should do it. Paint that s.o.b!

[VultureChow]

Goddammit, now I feel compelled to upgrade to something I didn't steal from Warren Zevon.

[theCryptofishist]

I think my all time favorite of the sig lines I've had is "Ooops, I Squid it Again!"

[ygmir]

can't really thin, of anything I've said as noteworthy.
Dougly had a good sig about a barbarian having to act more civilized or risk getting his head cracked...........or something like that.

[C187]

Am I the only one that thinks collecting 'Sig' lines sounds dirty?

[gaminwench]

You think everything is dirty ...

[GreyCoyote]

You think everything is dirty ...

Totally siggable.

[Ratty]

Thanks guys. It's not just sig lines. It's quotes too.

Canoe...I've been so stiff there I'd have been happy to have been knocked down in the heat and run over by a heard of fat bikes.

Capt. Goddammit...Burning Man isn't cheap. It's also not a necessity.

Jackass...Well I'm all tapped out on "help", back to being cynical, critical, shit talking and being generally disruptive for the balance of the day.

Dragonpilot...I don't give a fuck that you don't give a shit that I don't give a fuck.

Dwayne Gerken...Just be yourself. All the good personalities are taken.


I find a lot of things worth saving. Whether it's humor, anger or exhaustion we say things that would never leave our lips in defaultia.

[Jackass]

I feel somewhat honored, as it's not everyday that I have something to say that is even remotely noteworthy. I'll keep my eyes out for the EPIC statements when I use the "blue room", this should be great!~

this was one i saw today on line but seemed appropriate...

It's older than that, I fear.

ooops! Thanks Fishy

aw well, FG comes up with a ton of great stuff anyhow

[BeeWeeDee]

Ratty:

Don't be so modest as to leave your own contributions out

[trilobyte]

Like Ygmir, I can't think of anything I've said that's noteworthy either. A couple of my favorite sayings...

In my mind, this one is the ePlaya motto. I'm not sure who said it first, but I heard it from Bay Bridge Sue Lassen Forge and/or AntiM
Those who plan...burn

And this one from AntiM always makes me smile, and sums up ePlaya's wilderness years
ePlaya - it's like DPW on a bender!

[AntiM]

Those who plan.... not mine originally.

I like "Fuck it, let's just go camping". Not sure who that one began with.

[Ugly Dougly]

As soon as you see somebody with a great sig line, the asshat changes it!
Welcome to the world of ephemeral art. Stay hydrated.

[trilobyte]

Ooh, and don't forget the quintessential...

Next year was better!

[Captain Goddammit]

"Screw you hippies!"

Thanks for the laugh Figgy

SOME of the quotes I've collected. Don't dismay if your quote isn't here. If your quote is attributed to the wrong person, who cares. As long as it makes us laugh, think, anti-think. If you have a good one post it.

Great collection!

[ygmir]

and think if you went back into the archives.....dang I've seen so many, I can't remember any of them! Imagine the folks who've been here a lot longer!

some of the "fights" and "verbal jousting" here were EPIC!!

Several years ago Simon, Mozy, Badger/Iso, JPQ/E2k, Here and There, HeliTack, Blue, BBS, some of Simon's socks, Appollonarius Zeus, MonkeyPoo, I could go on and on..........when some of them would get wound up, it's was like living in Snarktopolis!! drinking Snarktinis, shaken, not stirred.


and, if you were (and I was) new, and the focus, it was withering at times.

[GreyCoyote]

OMG! I rated honorable mention. Not once but TWICE! Whoo hooo!

I'm off to prepare my acceptance speech...

Fear me. Hehehehe.

Ratty, you've got two of my favorites already there.

These are some of the Sigs I have used in the past, or ones I hope to use, once the idea of BBadger twerking out by the trash fence stops amusing the fuck out of me. This is not by any means a complete list, as evidenced by the fact that there is nothing written by Nipple, JKisha, or the guy with the Frog in his sig whose nickname I cannot pronounce.

This recollection from the 2011 Meet & Greet:

"Yep, I know I enjoyed watching you climb Yggy like he was an oak tree!" --Mojojita
"He IS an oak tree... thank goodness someone was sturdy!" -- Gaminwench


This recollection from the 2012 Meet & Greet:

I loved the arse print sheet as well - eplayans keeping it classy as per usual.

You just jogged my memory. Somewhere, there exists a print of my ass being made from that night as BBadger was recoiling in horror at the sight of my bare, hairy cheeks being spraypainted.

Who has it?

By the time it came my turn, there wasn't enough paint left in the can.... (Or my ass absorbs spray paint). So, I had to draw in the rest with a sharpie.

I chickened out on the arse prints, but I wrote a message.

One could also choose to view that as: my very generously relinquishing my portion of blue paint . . . that others might go on to do beautiful things.

Well aren't just a team player! I'm sure everyone after you is very appreciative that you spared the paint.

Maybe I got lucky though and since I got to draw my cheeks the way I Want them to look, not the way they do look.

And the megapost halfway down the page probably remains the funniest thing I ever said on ePlaya.

It was completely unhelpful.
