 What does your signature mean? I'd love to know what your signature means and or where it comes from. For instance, I've noticed m browns' new signature is "Honey, taste my TAB, I think it's a coke!", I'm thinking there must be a funny story behind that phrase, is there? Also many of you have posted your signatures in languages other than English. Unforunately I can't read anything other than English and would love to know what your words are and what they mean. Would you care to share?

 Waving her hands in the air, in an attempt to fly, a young woman drinks her fast food drink and FREAKS OUT...... "HONEY, TASTE MY TAB, I THINK IT'S A COKE!!!!!!!"  Yes, she does in the end eat the Big Mac, Fries and Apple Pie. But the calories saved by that tab..... makes you think huh............. My old signature just popped into my head but I feel I must evolve.

 Dear W.DeBord: What a wonderful idea for a thread! I have two. The first one is in French and it means "The Earth is Alive". It is my way for expressing my deep respect and appreciation which I hold for our environment. The second one is an old Italian expression which describes everything that is worthy in Life. "Like new olive oil and old wine".

 Why can't I have one? Mine just says Cafe Visitor! Is it a case of being activ before you can have one. My Hub-UK card carries the legend: ". . . where food matters" |

 I finally decided on one: "Las cosas claras y el chocolate espeso." It translates to: Ideas should be clear and chocolate thick. (Spanish proverb) I seem to have a theme going here.... Last edited by nancya; 10-11-2001 at 09:59 PM. |

| David, I think what you're asking is how to actually change it in the new system? Near the top of the page, look for a button which reads "user CP" click that, then go into "Edit Profile." Then look for "Custom User Text" and just type in what you'd like people to see. (I can't think of anything clever, so I'm just going to stay "Junior Member" until I graduate  )Last edited by CJ; 10-11-2001 at 07:26 PM. |

| I 'd love to know about your signatures also! Mine "Fluctuat, nec mergitur" means "Tossed by the waves but never sink" It's the motto of the city of Paris. When I met my husband he told me that I remind him of this motto! It was the sweetest compliment I have ever received! After 1 1/2 years of marriage I hope that he still thinks the same and I do not remind him the motto of the city of Venice..."Spine nell cuore" " A Thorn in the Heart"  As for the deipnosophist, it's the title of the book of Athenaeus who was a bon viveur and a lover of true food. A Deipnosophist is somebody who takes part in a philosophical dinner. The atmosphere of his work is unique! I could only compare him with the "Alexandria Quartet" of Lawrence Durrell. He must have read Athenaeus!!

| My signature translates into: "Rise! O my baking agents!" From http://www.whirlwind-design.com/madbaker/marks.html I thought it would be appropriate since I love baking bread... CJ: I'm a Senior Member and I can't think of anything clever either!! Welcome to the «club of the uninspired!»

| I stole my custom user text from the same place I stole my avatar. Not very original but I've been told I bear a striking resemblance
