I change my signature fairy often but currently it is "The National Association of National Associations is proud to present the 4th Annual Australian Ninja Convention.", which is simply some nonsense I made up.
Anyone else care to explain their signature?

Its taken from a letter Edgar Allen Poe wrote called a A Terrible Evil which he wrote to Philadelphia newspaper Spirit of the Times in 1846.
You say —”Can you hint to me what was the terrible evil” which caused the irregularities so profoundly lamented?” Yes; I can do more than hint. This “evil” was the greatest which can befall a man. Six years ago, a wife, whom I loved as no man ever loved before, ruptured a blood-vessel in singing. Her life was despaired of. I took leave of her forever & underwent all the agonies of her death. She recovered partially and I again hoped. At the end of a year the vessel broke again — I went through precisely the same scene. Again in about a year afterward. Then again — again — again & even once again at varying intervals. Each time I felt all the agonies of her death — and at each accession of the disorder I loved her more dearly & clung to her life with more desperate pertinacity. But I am constitutionally sensitive — nervous in a very unusual degree. I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. During these fits of absolute unconsciousness I drank, God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink rather than the drink to the insanity. I had indeed, nearly abandoned all hope of a permanent cure when I found one in the death of my wife. This I can & do endure as becomes a man — it was the horrible never-ending oscillation between hope & despair which I could not longer have endured without the total loss of reason. In the death of what was my life, then, I receive a new but — oh God! how melancholy an existence.
There had been 2 letters before that one. One from Poe to the newspaper and one from the newspaper to Poe.

A song my niece was singing when I shot a video of her playing with her Cinderella and Elsa dolls. I hate Frozen but my niece's version of the song is so much better.

My signature is a quote from Che Guevara criticising the style of sham democracy Americans love, that has created an oligarchy of the wealthy elite classes.
This contrasts with (for example) Cubas system where policies and politicians are drawn from all parts of society. That this looks quite different to what Americans think is the epitome of democracy causes them to scoff at Cubas system as nothing but a communist dictatorship.

"Nobody loves a fat man except his grocer and his tailor." Comes from THE NARROW MARGIN, spoken by a fat man who is causing a passenger to be stuck in a hallway.

Robin Trower's title song off his 2nd album, and usually his big number in concert.
There is a Bridge of Sighs near Chinatown in Manhattan

Goes back quite a few years.
A friend of mine who played on the ball team would call me 'fat' and 'fatty' on occasion.
One night after a game, he was gathering wood for the bonfire. He wasn't wearing a shirt at the time. So, I pipe up, and say:
LOOK AT THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE FAT! ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
Sadly, he passed away a few years ago. #cancersucks #screwcancer
