Status Line:Not enough posts for one yet
Signature:I just liked 'Good Shepard' and found it amusing how this was the first time someone was counting down, and was early
EDIT: Damn, my signatures gone. Maybe if I posted more I would have noticed.

TSN, when I first saw your Status Line, I thought it was from the Radiohead song "The Tourist", but the line from the song is "A 1000 feet per second"

Name: MIB. In almost every forum I visit, and every on-line game I play, I prefer to choose names that reflect me and my interests. MIB is obviously for my interest in the mysterious MIB phenomena. In other forums, I go by Cammodude, (Term used when refering to those guys who guard AREA 51 in those white jeep cherokees.)Agent-X, and Victor. (Again. Both names have to do with the Area51/UFO/Alien phenomena.) The only exception to this is my charactor on Everquest. For whatever reason, it wouldn't let me use the name Cammodude or MIB. My 2 prefered names.
Status line: Well it's true. I have been pissing at lease SOMEONE off since the day I was born.
Quote: What can I say? I love The Simpsons and Futurama. I'm thinking of switching to P.J. O'Rourke quotes though.

I'm Omega. I needed a callsign five or six years ago when I discovered the Wing Commander series. I was studying the Greek alphabet at the time, and Omega seemed appropriate.
My status line is a reference to a Vorlon saying from Babylon 5: "Understanding is a three-edged sword." It's a good quote for keeping people awake at night.
My .sig... well, I just ran into it, and I liked it. It's about time to change it, though.

Name: well, I needed something to use that was completely unrelated to the many other names I was known as (USS Coyote, The First One, Keyser Soze. . .). I picked it from the Douglas Adams Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy books - Vogon poetry is supposedly the second worst in the known Universe.
Status Line: I just quit my job for various reasons I won't go into here. Then my brother sent me a photo be email, real or altered, that showed a tramp holding a sign with these words. Seemed appropriate.
Signature: My webpage is, well, the web's premier guide to the weapons of Star Trek. OK, it's the only guide to the weapons of Star Trek. It's recently been expanded to feature the weapons of Enterprise, and this little pun just popped into my head.

OK, well since I don't want to start my English paper yet, I guess its my turn.
Originally my name was Stingray. I'm a Corvette nut, especially of the Stingray era between '63 and '82 (incidentally my AIM ID is Stingray6382). Eventually, I will own one of these cars. Stingray Corvettes were also the cars the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo astronauts got as windfalls of their hero status. I'm also an avid SCUBA diver and think the aquatic animal by that name is pretty friggin' cool too.
Since then, I've changed it to OnToMars, simply because I'm an advocate for humans to and agressive exploration of Mars and a member of The Mars Society. I might change it though to something else Mars related...
My status line is another reference to Mars, in that one of the largest misconceptions about sending humans to Mars is that we need years of research to find medicines to combat long term exposure to zero-g to and from the Red Planet. Instead, in a plan such as Mars Direct, one simply takes the habitat and burnt-out rocket's third stage and spins them around each other with a tether. This creates artificial gravity and eliminates the zero-g problem. As I would someday like to me a Mars astronaut, someday I will be 'spinning in a circle.'
My first signature was, "Nobody ever looks at a Japanese tourist." Which, when taken compeletly out of context, means nothing. But in the context of the movie Spanish Prisoner, is pant-pissingly funny. However, to explain it, it does kinda give away the ending of the movie, so I won't. Spanish Prisoner was written by one of my favorite playwrights (and director), David Mamet.
I had a quote there for a little while from "Malcolm in the Middle" which was a slight against musicals, as I'm into drama, but absolutely hate musicals.
And my current one is self-explanatory, I just thought it was funny.

Well the name Tec comes from two things, both are related. I did Tech Crew on the plays at the community college I first went to. And during one of the plays I was given the name TechBoy by one of the actresses. So I shortened it to Tec.
Status line: Comes from the fact that when I work on the plays I'm always back stage and out of sight.
Sig: This comes from a bumper sticker I got for my dad. I really liked it so I use it.

Name: Jay...the phonetic spelling of the first letter of my first name. I feel obscure...and well, so there you go.
Status line: Taken from the hypnotic writings of on Simon aka "Sol System".
Signature: I like the Simpsons. Like that's new or even news. I do however think that Monty Burns is a wonderful ironic sendup of most corporate types and as a result I have generally went for Mr. Burns quotes for quite some time now.

I really can't remember why I picked MaGiC. It has been my nick since the very first day I logged on to the net and got my first email address via my ISP. It has nothing to do with Magic the Gathering, although I have met several nice peole who thought it did. I suppose I use Magic, because it can be black or white, good or evil, but always outside most peoples perception of reality.
I am not allowed a status line, but it would probably be Pornstar - just for the conversation value you understand.
Sigs were going to be different film quotes, but I never got off Batman (which I love BTW)

Name: Taken from the name of a Bajoran Assassin in Deep Space Nine, the name of the ep is "Past Prologue".
Status Line: I recently changed my status line. This one is supposed to reflect a stealth assassin, now you see him and *poof* now you don't.
Sig: The one before this one had a funny dialogue regarding taking the rest of the week off on a Friday, taken from my present favourite show, Law and Order. The episode name is "Showtime".
This one I have now is taken from one of my favourite video games, Final Fantasy VI (III in the US). It happens just after a madman named Kefka harnesses the Ultimate Magic Power and turns a World of Balance into a World of Ruin. The city of Vector is transformed into Kefka's base of operations where he uses the "Light of Judgement" to destroy entire towns.
I kind of found this quote to be quite appropriate given the events of September, 11, 2001.

Name: Well my real name is four letters and I don't like to use it a lot. I'd like to see anyone with a name Nino Miguel Taruc Colorge-Graca anywher else... Anyway, I took Miguel, my late grandfather's name, and made it into Michael. Michael_T is in short then for Michael Taruc, the name I uses every year in the Aidswalk Los Angeles registration papers.
Status Line: The first one I did was when I was with my first boyfriend, then changed that after we seperated, and then there's the line when I was with my thrid boyfriend. Now I decided to just say the current one because it was either that or use the opening line from the US version of Queer As Folk.
Signature: I am changing it to the opening line of the US version of QAF since I still like it. The other ones were out of boy bands or something else that came into my mind.
