Tubby Tobin, AKA Owen Lift, has the writer's block.

Looks like it's time for a new sig line. 

We know who the who is now.

Taking suggestions. I change my sig line periodically. Most of the time it will be something that I come up with, but a couple of times I've put stuff in there from other DUers. "Voting Blue No Matter Who" was in some other DUers sig line and I appropriated it.

How about "The night was humid"?

1. I'm sorry, my dear Tobin, I have zero ideas!

I've never changed mine. I saw it a long time ago in some book, and loved it.

 

Good luck!

Calpig, who always seems to be the first to spring out of her coffin and respond to Tubby, only makes a post saying that she can't think of anything.  If I had to suggest a new sig line for Calpig, it would be a spinoff of "The Telltale Heart":   "The Gaping Jaw"

2. You're the writer!!!

He's only PRETENDING to be a writer.  Again, think of Tubby Tobin as a real-life Owen Lift.

4. How about this Muhammad Ali quote

It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.


With one tiny modification, I would endorse this one.  Try this instead:

It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the peanut butter in your shoe.

5. "Skittles can't kick my ass."

You're welcome.

That's "You welcome."  Don't you guys pay any bit of attention?

6. I have this real dislike for ants.

Therefore I have sig lines turned off.

Therefore feel free to have whatever you want in your sig line, but sorry, I won't be able to appreciate it.

How about this one?

"I'm a dummie, therefore I'm an idiot, but I repeat myself".

I think that one would work, amiright?

Maybe a quote from an inspirational Beatles song? My recommendation would be Taxman:

Maybe the line, "Be thankful I don't take it all."
