Best of 2006:Sig line

SPG brought up a good point. Both sig line and avatar are big enough to justify a split..


Best Sig line-Duke's "I 'd rather have my brains blown out in the wild than sit and wait in a slaughterhouse."

If there's a sub-category for "most annoying yet I still can't seem to take my eyes off of it" sig line, I nominate Bas. :P

I am not sure who said: "Never argue with an idiot because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with their experience"? But I would like to nominate them for the best signature line on peak oil dot com. Rarely have truer words been spoken! ; - )

Actually, I like MrBill's sig about the entitlement state. It succinctly points to the crux of our problem. We'll all be flailing to keep our 'entitlements' (for some, welfare/SSI checks; for others, good roads and cheap houses), and with the passing of that, so goes the middle class.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('emersonbiggins', 'A')ctually, I like MrBill's sig about the entitlement state. It succinctly points to the crux of our problem.

Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for it. I just paraphrased it from Frederic Bastiat's 1848 essay entitled Government, but it is applicable today as it was then. As you point out, more perhaps?

Government, by Frederic Bastiat

Or as Cube recently wrote: "Suburbia will die when governments can no longer afford to maintain freeways and not because people could no longer afford cars."

Also, well put. Cheers.

I'd like to nominate Holmes: "Crush the Cornucopians, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women".

Of a thousand burning bridges
Sifting through the ashes every day
What we thought would never end
Now is nothing more than a memory
The way things were before
I lost my way" - OCMS
