Top Comments: These Should Be Sig Lines

Tue Oct 30, 2007 at 07:16:14 PM PDT

We have so many insightful and powerful diaries written here at Daily Kos.  Our diaries inform, inflame, impassion, and even entertain.  We Kossacks have strong voices and an even stronger will to be the change we wish to see in this country.

One of the richest, and perhaps most under-appreciated, areas of thought come in the form of comments attached to these diaries.

Here at Top Comments we strive to recognize and promote the talent of this community by highlighting outstanding comments found throughout the day by the diarist, and through nominations at made at topcomments at gmail dot com by your fellow Kossacks.  

These nominations are subjective, and certainly not complete (as no one can read the complete site on a daily basis!). But hopefully they will serve to shine a light where deserved, and to give the reader a good starting point in finding conversation on the site.

Please come in and make yourself at home!   Join us beneath the fold...

I. Fun With Sig Lines

So I was reading some comments a week or so ago, and I couldn't stop laughing about a few of the sig lines. I thought it would be fun to collect little snippets of comments that have amused me over the years and present them as possible sig lines. Here are a few that have cracked me up for one reason or another:

I'd never think of saying my online nemesis Kagro X made it to the front page due to his willingness to show his cleavage -- even though in his specific case it's true

I have done more for political campaigns then you could even imagine, and I'm only 25.

I think you should be banned, you hateful, hateful creature!

Markos doesn't crash gates[.] The gates see him coming and they crash themselves

The Nazgul and Lord Sauron darken our doors.  They seek to shut out the light of truth.

another Kos Kop descends

Passive aggressives agree with your approach

That's TR worthy? Things seem to be getting more fascistic around here by the day

I do not intend to let this rest.  My only question is whether I'll take legal action.

I was rabid!  Oh yes I was, from my black little nose to my wooly white tail!

So you can stop lying, and you will NOT be called a liar,  or you can learn to live with being called a liar if you are going to continue to lie.

you are dirty, trying a dirty knife fight when I've got the logical guns.

Who's the wanker? Heh.

I claim no credentials except being right.

I miss arguing about whether we should say 'Fuck' in diary titles.

Of course, there are several sig lines that people have actually used that totally crack me up:

From brownsox:

Joe Lieberman likes to be called an "Independent Democrat". I like being called a "sexual dynamo".

From Trapper John:

I have blogged. I have blogged hard

From Pager:

"...the Edwards folks do not endorse Brittany's crotch."

From SeattleLiberal:

Don't make me use my "special nerd powers" on you.

Let's hear your favorite sig line candidates in the comments!
