    First bit is a quote from a day that a scumbag followed me and RAphael and a few friends around town threatening to beat us up for being "krusties" he actually expected us to stand and wait for his friend to come hold his dog so he could beat us up....

    Second bit is the name of my band.

    Third bit : Read Airetam_Storm's sig.

    What is LUBNIP?

    Ninja edit: I'm guessing it's a private forum, but for what exactly?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,942 ✭✭✭missingtime


    Mine's from The X-Files.

    Mulder has a gun in the Cigarette Smoking Man's face and he says it to Mulder. Just thought it was a really funny,condescending thing to say to someone who has a gun pointed at you.

    Gimli, from Lord of the rings.

    "Gimli wept openly.
    - I have looked the last upon that which was fairest, he said to Legolas his companion. Henceforward I will call nothing fair unless it be her gift.
    He put his hand to his breast.
    - Tell me, Legolas, why did I come on this Quest? Little did I know where the chief peril lay! Truly Elrond spoke, saying that we could not foresee what we might meet upon our road. Torment in the dark was the danger that I feared, and it did not hold me back. But I would not have come had I known the danger of light and joy. Now I have taken my worst wound in this parting, even if I were to go this night straight to the Dark Lord. Alas for Gimli son of Glóin!"

    My sig is original (the pic isn't) It basically says what it does on the tin. I have changed it only once and that was to support Kerry during the All-Ireland final run-up in 04 i didn't bother this year as i hadn't time to go messing around with it. I have had this since shortly after i joined in 02.

    didn't realise you could do that, thank god!
    does everyone realise that it looks really sad to have a sig quote?
    If they are words to live by, live by them, but keep them to yourself ffs.

    especially people who couldn't pick so put in 3 or 4? why??

    Above of course meant in the nicest possible way...

    P.S Harry Chapin did more for world hunger than Bob Geldof & Boner
    Combined!

    Btw John Locke and Jack is a pratt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,105 ✭✭✭larryone


    Alot of people see my signature, and think of a film called 25th hour. It's actually from a song that was released well before that movie by Therapy? on their album shamless entitled "This one's for you"
    Therapy? do similar manipulation of words like that in other songs too... "You always left me wanting, now I want you to leave" is from one of the tracks on an earlier album.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish
