In Memoriam - Quote Graveyard

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

It's time to give my siggy a well-deserved rest:

Iċ scēawode Þingas Þa ġē lēode noldon cunnan: hildescipu byrnende be eaxle Orionis; iċ wlāt sæ-bēacnas glitinian in deorcum Tanhauseres ġeat nēah. Eall Þāra sīða sīen ġē-losod in tīde, swylce swā tēaras in rīne. Tīd tō sweltan.

Nobody ever told me if they successfully translated it...it's the dying speech of Roy Batty from Blade Runner:

"I have seen things that you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion; I have seen C-beams glittering in the dark near Tanhauser's Gate. All of these moments will be lost, like tears in the rain. Time to die."

Well an unfamiliarity with that opus proved a handicap - the new one is a doddle though

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

This was a really special sig for me but it's time to move on. Farewell.

The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread is proud to sponsor dancing spawn of ungoliant

This space has been rented by Eomer of the Rohirrim, Esq.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

It was an honour, dancing spawn. And the whole signature style was so very inventive of you (even if you didn't originally have that intention ).

[Orominuialwen]

Here I lay to rest a signature that has served me well for several months:

"One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries." --A.A. Milne

It quite aptly describes the state of my room, as well as my mind!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

++Nilpaurion I'm-A-Werewolf-And-Proud-Of-It Felagund.

Originally by Anguirel.

. . . and . . .

++Nilpaurion "Kill Me Now" Felagund

Originally by Encaitare.

Good bye! I have to return the ++es to Werewolves--and reps.

(Although my precious lynch rate will remain in my sig.)

[HerenIstarion]

Time to lay to rest my previous"

they are no more twain, but one flesh

Not that I do not feel that way any more , but I'm in the habit of changing sigs in every two months of so, so it is the time to move on

My next one will be

Are you ghoulie or ghostie or wee student beastie?

Said by Peeves the Poltergeist to Harry Potter the Invisible. As my newly acquired Harry Potter VI is cradled by my bedside appreciated and caressed as I read through first 5 to get a better taste before I plunge in to savour the new one, it is time to have HP sig again. This particular one fits to BD as well, given our main theme, and amount of studens present, and seeing as they are invisible apart from their posts on my screen

[Dimturiel]

Here I am laying to rest my first signature, which represents a part of one of my favourite poem by Tolkien:
For still there are so many things
That I have never seen
In every wood, in every spring
There is a different green,

This stanza has always brought tears to my eyes. I give all my respect to the one that can put such thoughts into such beautiful and simple verses.

[Lhunardawen]

I lay to rest one of the most hurtful signatures I've ever had:

So, though it crushes me to say this, Lhunardawen is near the top of my list. -Eomer of the Rohirrim, Werewolf VII

At least we were both afflicted by his words.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Now I lay this sig to rest

And hope the next one is the best

And makes its way to the sig page

Where t'ward Mario, 'Mer will rage.

Покойтесь с миром, жареные голуби, ибо смерть Ваша по предписанию Всадника была не напрасна! Нет, дорогие птицы, коль дали Вы подпись мне, гордитесь!

Oh, and for anyone who wanted the actual translation (and it should be very close to perfect, since Heren helped me with the grammer)

Rest in peace, dear grilled doves, for your deaths by the decree of the Rider were not in vain. No, you have given me a new signature, and for that, dear birds, be proud.

[The Only Real Estel]

Having just discovered this thread I must ask forgiveness to a great deal of my favorite sigs for not giving them a proper burial. But I will rectify that for two here & now.

My very first Tol-In-Gaurhoth sig (at least that I can remember):

In Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves), you can count on...
Becoming a liar. I suspect that very few times will telling half-truths & avoiding direct questions keep you alive for long. (used once)

Though it may not have been completely accurate...

And possibly my favorite Tol-In-Gaurhoth sig:

In Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves), you can count on...
Throwing up. The BW takes pride in describing each death scene from the night before in great detail, almost as if you're there...& that's not necessarily good! (used once)

Enjoy your rest, I may bring you back.

[mark12_30]

When Bilbo was ninety-nine, he adopted Frodo as his heir, and brought him to live at Bag End...

A good quote, and one I may revisit.

[Bêthberry]

I lay to rest:

~Don't try to lay no boogie-woogie on the King of Rock and Roll.

RIP Long John Baldry~

I take up:

what does the arrow know
but the bowstring

[Elennar Starfire]

I've never been able to keep the goofy ones very long...I get impatient with them! So goodbye, my cheeky piper quote.

"If you can't play while wearing a thong, what kind of half-arsed piper are you?"

"That was CHEEKY, Brian. Very CHEEKY."

[ohtatyaro]

A lot of people are idiots at the age of fifteen
I'm fifteen. I'll grow outta it.

Is laid to rest, as it is no longer accurate

[Orominuialwen]

I now lay to rest my old signature:

"On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry "Oromin: she's quiet and creepy..." ~Fea, MM

I really love the quotation from Le Petit Prince and may return to it one day. (For those of you who don't speak French, it means "One doesn't see well except with the heart. The essentials are invisible to the eyes.")

The other part of my signature still cracks me up. Feanor said it about me when we were wolves together in WW5, and I loved it (and the similar things said about me in later games) that I used it in my avatar, which I do plan on retaining for a while.

My new signature is the first verse of a song that the cast sang in one of the tavern scenes in a production of Henry IV I recently went to. My friend made a most excellent Prince Hal.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

From the 8th to the 22th of August, 2005, dear Kath left the Downs temporarily as she went on vacation. During that time, I was distressed! How do I dispell the longing sighs that would come from coming across a post of hers? Being of an eminently weird disposition, I thought the solution would be to use some of her quotes as sigs.

Since she has since come back, I lay them to rest.

Hey Nilpaurion I just translated your little poem and it really does fit! Especially if you put in next to the picture of Saruman in bright pink robes . . . ~Kath

As to my suspicions, I would still like to hear . . . a bit more from Nilp as his only post claims he is here as his alter-ego, so we already know he's in two minds! ~Kath

Sorry I've been having trouble thinking of one. Next time I guess I'll make sure I have one to hand! You can take it Nilp. ~Kath

I think Nilp would be pale . . . as if he's spent a little too much time indoors on the computer, or fighting to see which personality is going to come out on top today. ~Kath

Now I know you're insane! And that picture in your last post Nilp, was that you as a kid because if so you were so cute! ~Kath

Nilp - voted for himself but since we know he is an innocent we'll just have to agree that he's insane. ~Kath

[The Saucepan Man]

I rather liked this one, as it kind of went with the idea of my current Wolfpan Man avatar:

He had saucepans and kettles hung all over him, he wore a saucepan for a hat, and he crashed two saucepans together as he danced!

'Do you think he's dangerous?' said Joe, in a whisper.

But I have been itching to use this one ever since Durelin uttered it and, now that Werewolf IIX is over, I can:

SaucepanMan says too much, and really has no idea what he's doing.
- Durelin, Werewolf IIX

Wise words of general application.

[Meneltarmacil]

Alright, I'm through with

Beware the Cows of Doom! MOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

for the moment, and have gotten a Werewolf one instead.

[Dimturiel]

I think the time has come for me to have a new signature so I have decided to lay this one to rest, although I think that I may have it again.
Banners flowing in the west,/ In the distance horns are blowing,/Tears of sadness, come to rest,/Tears of joy, start flowing.
It's the first stanza from a poem of mine called " Return of the king.".

[Elennar Starfire]

Dust of the galaxies take my hand
Lead me to my beloved's land...
Join my soul the Hunter in the sky

No longer applies. More appropriate quote now (don't ask, for I shan't explain).

[Glirdan]

Well, time for me to search for another sig from the WW game, so here I am to lay this one to rest.

Glirdan has got my suspicions up. He(?) talks a lot but does little more than agree with what others have posted and repeat the accusations and points that others have made. Might he be a beast trying to stay inconspicuous?

- Saucy, Werewolf IX

Buh bye quote from Saucy, who was first to accuse me!!

[The Perky Ent]

If practice makes perfect, and nobody is perfect, why practice?

Alas, that it must depart to Elvenhome. *sigh* Oh well...I still have it on a bumper sticker!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I had two sigs in my native language quite a while ago, and I forgot to put them here. Until now.

Napapangiti, hindi ko alam ang dahilan.

(I can't help but smile, but I do not know why.)

I just picked this line from some local song because it is in Filipino, and it was Linggo ng Wika (Filipino Week) then.

Kung every time sinasabi [>sasabihin] mo yung name ni Kath binibigyan mo 'ko ng piso, milyonaryo na 'ko ngayon. ~Abby

(If everytime you said Kath's name you gave me a peso [name of local currency], I'd be a millionaire now.)

Said by my sister Lhuny-tunes once while we were chatting about random stuff over chips. Right now she's the fourth . . .

Third.

What?

Right now she's the third, no longer the fourth, richest woman in the world.

WHAT?!

Enedwaith, after that I had a sig in Quenya, but I'm not laying it to rest, because I plan to use it agan.

[Glirdan]

Well, I'm laying this sig to rest in order to for me to find something to do with my WW occupation.

Glirdan is my main suspect. He has been pointing fingers a lot, especially to the quiet, inexperienced ones, and seems to want to be good friends with everybody, agreeing and nodding a lot, changing his mind randomly...

Cailín, WW IX

I'll miss you my dear quote. But I'm going on to big and better things.

[wilwarin538]

Wow just noticed what this thread is about. It might take me awhile to mention all of my past sigs. But I will mention my two favorites:

I'll go to your funeral if you go to mine.

and

I dream of a better tomorrow. Where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.

Though its very much possible that I will bring them back from the dead in the future.

[The Perky Ent]

Curse the 250 Character limit!

I traded my

There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who eat at deli's, and those you shouldnt' associate with

with

May the Schwartz be with you!

R.I.P. Fanatical love of deli's! Namarie

[Glirdan]

Yes, I'm giving up another sig. I'm replacing my

"Hurry up!! Everyone sit down!!! Gil, I SAID SIT!!! It's time for our lesson on werewolves...."

for

Coming to a village near you!! A new saga, a new village full of newbies!! WW Junior I!!!!! Viewer discretion is somewhat advised.

This is for... you guessed it.... Werewolf Junior!!!! As a sidenote for this, that saga (if it lasts long enough) will not be starting until WW X finishes.

[Mithalwen]

Farewell (for now to

Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen, Tot und Verzweiflung flammen um mich her!

I am sure it will return but I can never keep my sig long.....

[Glirdan]

I'm only getting rid of my newest addition to my sig:

Told you you'd be sorry if you lynched me!!!

As if people didn't believe me!!! Oh well.

[The Perky Ent]

[Glirdan]

Buh bye to another quote of mine:

Coming to a village near you!! A new saga, a new village full of newbies!! WW Junior I!!!!! Viewer discretion is somewhat advised.

But it's being replaced by something funner, and to do with the upcoming WWJ game.

WWJ I: A New Saga, A New Beginning...Or Is It??? DUH DUH DUH!!!!!!!

[Bêthberry]

Au revoir Baudelaire et Le Chat

Ils prennent en songeant les nobles attitudes
Des grands sphinx allongés au fond des solitudes,
Qui semblent s'endormir dans un rêve sans fin .

et bonjour Ursula K LeGuin

"Ten years ago, I went to the children's room of the library of such-and-such a city, and asked for The Hobbit; and the librarian told me, 'Oh, we keep that only in the adult collection; we don't feel that escapism is good for children." from Why Are Americans Afraid of Dragons?

I wonder how Tolkien felt rubbing shoulders with other books in the adult collection.

[Glirdan]

I know this is soon, but hey, I thought of something a little better.

WWJ I: A New Saga, A New Beginning...Or Is It??? DUH DUH DUH!!!!!!!

Rest in peace my sig. You're being replaced by something that has to do with WWJ(of course)

Welcome to Fwedawick. Population 15...for now.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Lynch rate: 67%

It was fun while it lasted, but it became an increasingly difficult game to play.

Your actual lynch rate should be 40%, right? If you include Adam's game and your last one, that is.

Well . . .

[Glirdan]

Welcome to Fwedawick. Population 13...for now.

Getting old. Going to be replaced by:

WWJ I Current Village Population: 12 Dead: Glirdan and Wayne

I find it practical because that way, those people who aren't following the game know who died in it. Of course I'm talking about WWJ.

[HerenIstarion]

Are you ghoulie or ghostie or wee student beastie?

laid to rest until better times

[Anguirel]

Alight, traitor knight, for if this mare's son hath failed me, wit thou well a king's son and a queen's son shall not fail thee.

~Sir Gawaine to Sir Launcelot, Le Morte D'Arthur~

Farewell, Sir Gawaine. You will return, but this hilarious statement displaced you-

Goodbye to my beloved drinking song:

We be soldiers three
Pardonnez-moi, je vous en prie
Lately come forth from the Low Country
With never a penny of money.

I am replacing it with something I have planned on doing for a long time.

[Bêthberry]

Some lines must be commemorated:

My new siggie, courtesy of the phantom's latest Werewolf game:
