    Mine is based on the line from Trek 4. And I wanted to flesh it out a bit, so I added a Buckaroo Banzai reference and a joke from Futurama. They seemed to fit the same nature as the first. Mind blowingly obvious things to say...

    One of my favorite lines from my favorite Star Trek film.

    I love astronomy and had wanted to be a theoretical physicist in my previous life. I'm fascinated with our attempts to resolve the mysteries of the universe.

    I love dogs... and while not locking my S.O. in trunk, I did lock her in a closet to prove that point. She got pissed, the dog was happy and dancing and jumping around.

    Of course, I would argue that it is because the dog doesn't understand that YOU are the one responsible for the confinement that it hated so much, and your significant other is!

    This is why I'm always a little suspicious of guys that really really like dogs.

    My signature is now a line from a song; "Sing for Absolution" by Muse. It's a lyric that has a special meaning for me. Before I got back together with my (first ex-) boyfriend, I was having dreams of him every night. This particular verse made me think of him every time I heard it... and I listened a lot.

    Actually, “coin coin” in French sounds more like a duck than “quack quack.” Those French certainly know their ducks.

    My signature, as most of us geeks will recognize, is the final line of Raymond Massey’s speech at the end of Things to Come (1936). I still share H.G. Wells’ faith in science and technology to create a better future for humanity, and believe that our ultimate destiny is to colonize “the planets about us, and at last out across immensity to the stars.”

    There’s the problem in a nutshell — going to war when we’re not sure what the friggin’ question is.

    Please don't put me in that lump.

    I'm not in the lump. Not my lump. I got a different lump.

    Bad lump :(

    And it was only about 30 seconds for her, and about 4-5 minutes for the dog. She didn't understand what my signature was saying, so I said come here, I'll show you. Opened the closet and told her to look in it, when she did I pushed her in and held the door. Then after I let her, and she calmed down I put the dog in and demonstrated how he would be happy to see me.

    Even though she did get the point she still stayed mad for a while, until I offered her a treat which she laughed her ass off at even though she didn't want to.

    If only someone, anyone, here had the power, nay, the mere ability to begin new threads--threads with subjects of their own choosing...

    Ah, but this is all crazy talk. Rambling on and on goes the Q, on and on rambling about nothing.

    We can never be graced by such a glorious thread. That ability is beyond the grasp of even our best person for leaning way over and reaching out for things that are hard to reach without having to get on a chair or walk across the room or something like that.

    Pity.

    A shamless ad for my blog-cum-webcomic which I started when bored!

    Mine's a two part-er. The first is literally "off the wall" of most TGI Friday's. Saw it printed on their wallpaper and liked it. Don't know who it's originally attributed to. The second is WFT!?! as done by the military, the US Air Force in particular, via my step-son, a currently deployed Staff Sgt.
