Do you know whose Whose %$&*@ sig lines these are?
Kos is considering getting rid of all of our sig lines. I hope he doesn't. They have many uses, among which is a venue for new users to differentiate themselves right off the bat. Toying around with my sig line was one of the things I first enjoyed as a new user.
Note: to anyone thinking of joining DKOS as a new user, once you sign up you get to choose a sig line. It can be something that defines you, something that strikes you as amusing, or can be linked to an action you're working on.
I enjoy reading sig lines and then mentally noting later whether the user's comments are in synch with the sig line. I'm not sure how many other kossacks do that. In fact, I'm not sure how many even pay attention to sig lines, but I know some of youse do. In any case, we still have them
for now. So put on your whiz kid cap and let's see how good you are at identifying them.
Don't tell me what you believe, show me what you do and I will tell you what you believe.
Everyone knows that one. It must be the most well-known one on the site next to the one Kos has, " ."
The one below may not be quite as well known, but it has a couple of dead give-aways in it. If you look closely you'll see coffee stains and telltale signs of spinning on it....
Follow * New Day * for Kossack event info :: Native American Netroots
No clues are offered on the remainder chosen from across the site, except to say that they belong to users who at least post enough for me to be familiar with their sig lines. Amma hoping that everyone will recognize at least one....
1. "Throwing a knuckleball for a strike is like throwing a butterfly with hiccups across the street into your neighbor's mailbox." -- Willie Stargell
2. Justic is a commodity.
3. Regulate banks, not vaginas
4. Maya Angelou: "Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest."
5, No longer Hoping for Change. Now Praying for a Miracle.
6. nosotros no somos estúpidos
7. look for my eSci diary series Thursday evening.
8. "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." Arundhati Roy
9. -1.63/ -1.49 "Speaking truth to power" (with snark of course)!
10. The cold passion for truth hunts in no pack. -Robinson Jeffers
11. shake well
12. I don't mind if you're straight. Just don't flaunt it in public.
13. Calling other DKos members "weenies" is a personal insult and therefore against site rules.
14. Not Your Average American
15. Daily Kos an oasis of truth. Truth that leads to action.
16. "If you're going through hell - keep going!" -- Winston Churchill
17. "We didn't set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing and to reflect on how our actions affect other people's hearts." - Pema Chodron
18. I sing praises in the church of nonsense, but in my heart I'm still an atheist, demanding sense of all things.
19. Il s'agit d'une ligne de signature imaginaire
The last two below are really unfair cheats on my part, but I couldn't resist (
Please note that Meteor Blades is NO LONGER the moderator).
20. Meh
21. Despite his abject failure to be perfect, Meteor Blades appears to be doing an outstanding job as moderator.
Give it a shot. See if you can match one or more of #1-21 above to a username.
