Those witty signature lines...

LOL, sorry Stompy, I felt it was getting a little awkward having folks refer to me as a stuffed bear (they're welcome to, if they like) when I was sometimes doing business here and acting as a knifemaker. Maybe I'll put it back though, forget this momentary lapse into "respectability"

So, Mr. Heat, or may I call you Dry?, of all of the four pages you've collected, which are your favorites? Perhaps we could get Mike to come up with a prize for best tag line?

My favorite blade design is the MT Vector. (Obligatory knife reference so Spark doesnt move this thread out of the good forum).
Good idea Gollnick!
My favorite signature is fracmeisters:
Dances with lemmings
It says so much. Especially when Im in traffic or listening to the State of the Union Show.
------------------
It's Clint,
Clint Onsucks,
it's an old German name.

I like Drew's old tag line, but a signature that is a question seems a little unfocused for someone with such strong opinions. And it does beg an answer.
I always thought a bear wouldn't need a pocket because he always carries his knives.
And if you are crazy, you should seek help istead of spreading bile whenever you have the chance.

Just because I talk to myself doesn't mean I'm crazy. What's wrong with getting a second opinion?
"You learn something new every day!"
"They say I'm in need of some radical discipline"
What? Another knife? Don't you have enough of those things already?
How many does one person need?
And just what are you going to do with this one that you can't do with the others?
What is the purpose of all these knives anyhow??
YES, it is sharp; just keep your fingers out of the way!
We are the pilgrims masters; we shall go, always, a little farther.
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Humans raising livestock have managed, over the centuries, to reprogram some wolves into herding dogs or guard dogs, but all lions are unreconstructed predators, and it's a good thing that the kitty on my lap is a lot smaller than I am!
I have a real problem rolling over and playing victim.

There are those that are lions, willing to fight the wolves to protect the sheep. Unfortunately, the sheep will always see the lions as a threat and exclude them, even while they invite wolves into their midst. Lions must become accustomed to loneliness and exclusion from the sheep, and never fail in their duties. Thank goodness that there's often other lions around . . .
Remember--pointy end AWAY from you!

You don't need a parachute to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. You need it only if you want to jump out twice.
That's my two cents. Hey! How come you're giving me change?
Paranoia is only smart thinking

I did NOT escape from the institution! They gave me a day pass!
Do not mistake the edge of a rut for the horizon
When someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown.
BUT,...it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm
and smack them upside the head.
