What colour would you suggest? Red doesn't seem quite right to me; I'm going for a firey colour, so orange seemed the best bet.

slightly aboveaverage man · 09-01-2004, 09:21 AM

I do believe that red would be better suited, and then put in bold.

Thaumaturge · 09-01-2004, 09:34 AM

Thanks; I tried it out, but I still don't think that the reds on offer are quite right. It's not perfect, but I think that I'll stick with dark orange for now. I did take your suggestion on the bold, though.

Oh, and sorry, I almost forgot to rate your sig: 8/10 - Unless I'm missing some context, that's heavy stuff! Very nice.

Mephisto · 09-01-2004, 09:57 AM

wow 10/10, thanks alot, I didn't expect to get near that much. I'd say this gets 9/10, short, simple, effective and somthing I'm known to say regulary.

Edit: Yes they are all Terry Pratchet quotes, although I can't remember which book each one came from.

Rincewind later calls Twoflower something that, literally translated, means something like "He who stands in a bowl of water during a thunderstorm, wears a copper nosering and screams that the face of the lightning goddess Ruohaura looks like a misshapen alorahua root." Not sure about the names.

... I can't help it. The scarier that I neither have to look it up nor even think about it.

EDIT: ... and Mephisto's obviously gets 10/10.

Thanks, Mephisto.

Ah, I knew that it was something like that.

I don't know, I think that it's pretty cool.

slightly aboveaverage man · 09-01-2004, 10:15 AM

Mephisto: I give yours a 9.875/10

Excellent, But it has to be "laugh out loud" for me to give it a full 10/10

Meister:... are you even trying?

4/10 for the current sig, but I'll be looking forward to your next one.

Shiny Bunny Captain Socha · 09-01-2004, 10:33 AM

The Princess Bride! One of my favorite movies.

8/10...There were funnier quotes than that

slightly aboveaverage man · 09-01-2004, 10:45 AM

Actually, I was going for it because it was cool.

If I was going for funny, I would use one of Fezzik's lines.
Vencini: "No more rhyming! I mean it!"
Fezzik: "Anybody want a peanut?!"
Vencini: "AAARRG!"

And 7.5/10 on your quote, cause the word "Spork" is funny.
