The Official "Explain Your Sig" Thread

[potthole]

I'm putting this in TIAB because some of us here still have some Homestar related sigs...


So, here's your chance to tell everybody the lowdown dirt about your signature!  Tell us what it represents, how you chose it, all stuff like that!

[ACPigeon]

Well, mine's not Homestar-related, but I'll give it a go.

The little avatar-sized picture was drawn by Lyrical Wondermind. It's based off the Aphex Twin logo, my longtime musical obsession. I thought that was neat, so I stuck it in there. As for the "I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away." thing, it's just a quote from the notoriously (and hilariously) awful B-movie, Manos: The Hands of Fate.

[The Dark One™]

Mine's not either, but oh well.

The first big picture was found on google image search. I added the words with MS paint and resized it with imageshack. The userbar I found on the request board on the userbars.com forums and the quote is from Auron from Kingdom Hearts 2.

[Conner]

Mine is about design, and minimalism.

[HomeStarRunnerTron]

Alrighty! Here we go!

My banner was made by my long-gone friend on this forums, RockAndSkateAllDay/Sharp. Dunno where he went. He hasn't even been on his AIM for the longest of times. However, it sure is awesome, no? It has all 3 versions of me, at that time, including the Genius At Work/ADITLOS version (soon to get an redesign, along with the rest of my characters, once I get them JUUUST right.), the Real Life me, and the Pom Mails version of me.

Below it is a quote from one of my all-time favorite e-mail threads, "Chocomails", by my awesome fanfic writing friend, ChocolateMetal/Chocmet! It's just comedic gold, you guys. Check it out!

And of course, below that is a link to the awesome Sinister Spy... IN ALL HIS 3-D PYROTECHNIC GLORY! By another one of my awesome friends from the forums, Coach Z/Zac North. It's even part of my avatar folks! You can watch it spinnin' aaaalll day.

LAWL!

[Stephen Stills]

I was walking along this dark desert highway with the cool wind blowing the warm scent of Colitas high through the air, when suddenly, I managed to spy some kind of shimmering light up ahead in the distance. Since my head was heavy and my sight was growing dim, I thought it would be best to stop for the night. So I walked up to the doorway, and I rang the bell. I began to wonder if this was some otherworldly place, like Heaven... or maybe Hell. Suddenly a girl appeared with a candle, and motioned for me to enter. I stepped inside, but I could have sworn there were voices calling out from down the corridor. They were saying... something, but I couldn't tell what. I decided it would be best to leave right then, but not before grabbing this signature banner as a mark of my most excellent adventure.

[potthole]

Yeah, just to clarify... even if your sig isn't H*R related, feel free to participate in here.



As for my sig, the link is pretty self evident.  It's to my photography website.  'Nuff said.  The banner was made by former Mod Da_Cheat.  He was awesome with Flash, and put this together for me, consisting of my favorite character, the KOT.

[The Sneak]

Mine's pretty darn obvious.

[Mr. Teatime]

Mine was made by da_Burninator a while ago, and I just recently remembered how awesome it was and went to find it. It's of all four versions of "Mr. Teatime" that people use in their stories on this forum, all ready to fight eachother.

[stix]

I tripped over a cat and won a game.

[Goombazoid]

I don't know how I can top stinkoman's story...I made this for the MC crew one night when I was bored.

My normal sig of a Goomba crushing a mario is to show how I believe that the Goomba should win somethimes.

[Homestar Gunner]

I was walking along this dark desert highway with the cool wind blowing the warm scent of Colitas high through the air, when suddenly, I managed to spy some kind of shimmering light up ahead in the distance. Since my head was heavy and my sight was growing dim, I thought it would be best to stop for the night. So I walked up to the doorway, and I rang the bell. I began to wonder if this was some otherworldly place, like Heaven... or maybe Hell. Suddenly a girl appeared with a candle, and said "you’re moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air!" I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I can say this cab is rare, but I thought "Now forget it - Yo homes, to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8, and I yelled to the cabbie "Yo homes, smell ya later!" I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there - to sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air.

There. That's better.

As for me, my sig is about Truth and The Power of Golf.

[Homestarguy]

Mine? MSBASIC programming joke.

[Deputy Laser Action]

I decided it would be fun to form a group with the word "pie" in it. I had the sig made, and waited for members. Months later, Teatime asked to join and everybody decided, "Teatime is joining!!!!!!!111 ME t00!" Then the membership boomed. Actually, Teatime wasn't the first, but he was an early one.

Look for more information in the upcoming film adaptation by Uwe Boll(he was the only one I could afford).

[Gir]

Mine has a random userbar and when I joined first, because the one in my account is wrong because I deleted my old account.
