Author Topic: Member Signature's Explained... Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-17-2003 07:05 AM                  With apologies in advance to those quoted. Just thoughts on some of the sigs I see on here... "Better Projection Pays!" Pays who? Certainly NOT the projectionist! "Experience is inversly proportional to the amount of the equipment ruined!" Actually I have found that "Experience is DIRECTLY proportional to the amount of equipment ruined." "...Which means that all men are homosexuals!" Yeah, sure. Now where is that turnip truck you just fell off of? "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker" Maybe, but "Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker, but sex wont rot your teeth." "Shouting is the effort of a limited mind to express itself." Or when dealing with fu*king stupid people! "Forget you guys. I am going to build my own theme park with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the theme park." Now that sounds like a plan. "UGLINESS, n. A gift of the gods to certain women, entailing virtue without humility." How sexist! That also applies to guys! "Place ice in Shaker pour in dry vermouth, Shake, Pour out vermouth. Pour in Gin. Shake. Pour into Martini Glass add three cocktail onions. Welcome to Heaven." Now, who can argue with THAT!? "Film is made of silver, video is made of rust" Sounds like a motto from some "other" website. etc... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-17-2003 09:35 AM                        Fank use Fill, Eye's vant use to ka Ka K-no I a-a-a prec e ate, Da ki end woird's.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 08-17-2003 11:26 AM                     Yeah yeah yeah Phil... You're right, my ugliness quote also applies to you! Only in that Rambo get-up tho...  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-17-2003 12:29 PM                        I must be doing pretty good.

Phil, it pays the theatre owners... and they get that free from the projectionist! I think that's the way it's supposed to work.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-17-2003 05:50 PM                        My signature at another sight was "Signatures are Stupid". Really. I see some that are supposed to be witty and funny or whatnot. Who cares? Why do I want to read the same stupid one liner every time you post? Am I supposed to chuckle each time as well? One thing I like about vBulletin forum software is the option in the user control panel to turn off the viewing of other people's signature. That kicks ass. That way you only see the relevant text in the post. vBulletin is also cool because it places a little black dot next to the threads you have posted in. vBulletin is still even more cool because you can you can, for example, view the site at work and see the threads with new posts highlighted (similar to the red folders here). When you get home and access the forum from a different computer, only the threads that have been updated since you looked at it from work are highlighted. UBB relies on individual cookies in each browser to tell it when you last had access. So if you haven't been to Film-Tech in a month on a certain computer, it'll think ALL the threads are new, even though you've looked at the site every 10 seconds on a different computer. UBB leaves much to be desired. Get crackin' Daryl! Sorry I drifted so much from the topic.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-17-2003 07:30 PM                     Daryl, how many cases of nacho chips do you need for the job? By the way, it was Daryl who hacked in the smaller type size for signatures. I just skip over them personally.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-17-2003 09:00 PM                  Rach: That ain't my "Rambo" gear... That's what I wear to go to the grocery market. M-60 machine guns and M-79 gernade launchers and wearing bullets are necessary here. I live in Los Angeles ya know! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 08-17-2003 09:18 PM                        Rachel - you are not ugly. Beauty comes from within. We are all unique, like snowflakes.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-17-2003 10:56 PM                        "Find the beauty within"? That's insulting. If someone said that to me I'd ask "Why you callin' me ugly? You are telling me that I need to find beauty elsewhere since I don't have it externally." Snowflakes are boring until they all start piling up on eachother and create 4 feet of crazy snow! Phil, do you also have the cigarette in your mouth when you go to the store as well?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-17-2003 11:19 PM                  Joe, that's not a cig. It's the last one of my buck-teeth before I had it removed... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Steven Privett Expert Film Handler Posts: 208 From: Pasadena, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 08-30-2003 10:49 AM                    everyone go get a new forum signature. www.coolsig.com it has funny answering machine messages too: Hi! Dave's answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-30-2003 12:20 PM                        "Funny answering machine messages" are the quickest way to get me to slam the phone WITHOUT leaving a message.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-30-2003 02:35 PM                     quote: "Funny answering machine messages" are the quickest way to get me to slam the phone WITHOUT leaving a message. That as well as people who read verbatim the example outgoing announcement from the answering machine's manual. We all know how answering machines work now! We know to wait until after the beep to begin talking. Don't insult us.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-30-2003 07:25 PM                     I think answering machines are stupid unless they are announce-only. Caller ID is a much, much better solution.  |  IP: Logged
