PrintSo listen here, pally. I've been watching these AN signatures for some time now and I think it's about time to tell it to me square before the hammer and saws show. Yeah, see. So light yer Lucky Strike, give the bartender a double sawbuck, Bruno, and spill it. Savvy? Now don't throw an Ing-Bing, just get to yappin'. What's the story behind your signature?

I had another picture for my sig
but people complained that it was too big.
So, I got a smaller image, and have stuck with this one.
It links to a translation project for a series of novels.
Hmmm... mine is kinda self-explanatory...
They all may be hurt but they are optimistic!
i love yours!
You see...
why it's funny is because everyone wanted to Fire Macha Now. I on the otherhand, had such hatred I wished time travel to go back a day and fire Macha so that when I came back, he would no longer chew his gum with his front teeth, with his hands in his jacket pocket while squinting.
It's a quote
from http://firejoemorgan.blogspot.com
The original article was describing some ideal situation for a baseball team, maybe a perfect player or something like that, and the author said, "It's baseball's version of a home run."
See, it's ironical-like.
Found it
Some dude pitching Ryan Howard for MVP on the basis of his work in the community:
Huh. I always thought that baseball's version of a home run is the motherfucking home run itself.
I used to work
at the paper that published that column. Some sensible people suggested that it not be published, but the not-so-sensible faction won out.
Remind me to thank them..
Well... I'm a sportswriter
Mine is
a quote from Homer Simpson that I found in something on MSN. Heres a link to the same list:

Mine is Pedro Cerrano from Major League...
"I say we give 'em all a nice big shit burger...!" (Lou Brown)
Cerrano asks, "Shitburger, Skip?"

I've been trying to figure that one out
for awhile now. I saw that movie a long time ago. Kinda funny that Cerrano was also in Mr. Baseball and does those Allstate commericals now.
Major league
The end still brings tears to my eyes. Every fuckin time I watch it.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJWYI...
Clutch
ever heard of them? they are sort of big now...
[[sigh]]
long hair. travis buck. <3.</p>
it's all you need. :)
I was forced to listen to Rex Hudler
since the A's feed wasn't available on MLB.TV.
Someone on the Angels had a bloop single, and Huddy had some brilliant analysis. Apparently he changes person mid-sentence, and ends up using a term that could be interpreted differently than he intended.
Apparently, "doink" means "bloop single", and not "have sex with".
I'm no Angel lover, but...
I f'n love Rex Hudler... I get so happy on the rare occasions I catch a broad/telecast with Hudler... I wish he was the #2 guy up here with Kourac... although I'm getting used to Cotroneo...

fortunately, you'r'e the only one
It's okay... I'm grandfathered in...
I loved Rex Hudler as a player with the Expos, who were my favorite NL team as a kid. Every year I rooted for an A's-Expos WS, even after Huddy was gone.
Hell, in 2004 I rooted for a miracle season from Montreal and an A's-Expos WS.

I change it often,
and don't remember what this one is about. I like things that make little or no sense (even to me) when seen out of context.
I actually just changed it again.
And I'd rather not talk about it... <sniff>
Mark Grudzielanek wants to thank MaEl
for the 2007 Gold Glove.
"They only gave me two errors because they couldn't give me more," was my favorite quote.
Grudzawho?
I'm thinking we should send out a kidnap party for Ian Kinsler, actually... :P~~~
Think mine is self explanatory
I got autographs from Blez last year at AN day. It's a bigger deal than you think, since I'm from South Dakota.

Last season
some writer pointed out that the A's were in first place despite their craptastic offense. To which Billy Beane responded: "We are a complete freak show."
Mine changes
about as frequently as Britney Spears wears underwear, which is apparently often!
Currenty, have been on a bit of a creative hiatus from my comic strip so I have been taking out my usual social commentary (also known as smart ass opinion) on my fellow AN'ers. Used to get kicked out of class almost daily for this stuff, but so far no one has asked me to leave AN so it will continue!
The latest signature comes from my love affair with baseball nicknames and real names. I am dying to trade for CoCo Crisp so we can have Coco Crisp, Milton Bradley and then I am hoping we get some kid named Fisher Price. Mike Sweeney (Mike's weany) has always made me snicker (because men don't giggle) and when I was a kid I had a Rusty Kuntz baseball card and used to stand up in class, hold the card up and ask the teacher if I could show everyone in class my Rusty Kuntz.
Mine is an actual quote
from the "3rd wheel" of the awesome vehicle of the A's mid-80's broadcast booth, Wayne Hagin (who I think is now doing the Cards).
Julio Franco -- then with the Indians -- came up to bat against one of the A's utterly forgettable righties (probably Codiroli or Mooneyham or someone like that) and Hagin went on and on during the whole AB about how Franco was batting right-handed, and speculating about why he wasn't hitting lefty as he usually would against a righty. Was he hurt? Did he feel he had a better chance to hit so-and-so's "stuff" (used in quotes because the A's pitchers generally didn't really have any back then) hitting righty?
Eventually, Hagin sort of went, "Oh, wait...Franco's not a switch-hitter." I imagined Lon (and Bill, if he wasn't off getting something to eat) getting a good laugh out of listening to Hagin's bizarre riff.
My signature for now...
is my favorite quote from one of my favorite philosophers... who happens to be one of the greatest pitchers of all time...
Usually I go back and forth between something from Satchel Paige and something from Bill Veeck...

i love it.
your sig is great and it's a great life philosophy. better than mine. work hard and play hard. more nuanced.
very nice,
in fact - fuckin' brilliant.
whatever happened to, "Nice Win Bitches!!!"? I miss that, though I know that wasn't your sig - but I think maybe it's not the appropriate time for that. I figure that's best saved for when we get into the stretch run of the season.
I dunno, Man. That's a Risky Business.

A couple years ago
we watched the Asphalt Jungle in one of my classes and the line stuck out. I think I was the only person in the classroom who laughed.
In honor of...the best that ever was
Found mine on a random quote generator.
Me: "Hey look! A former Athletic! That'll do."
I have no idea if he actually said that.

my friend used to be an A's clubhouse attendant
and he said Matt Keough licked himself a lot... I guess Keough eschewed showers and cleaned himself like a cat...

I've changed it many times
but the latest change came when I had a cutthemullett quote that mentioned his fear of a healthy Eric Gagne, but when Gagne first pitched against he A's (1st time ever, I imagine); I freaked out, deleted my sig, and had nothing for a while. My current sig reflects my concer with self-referentiality as an exhausted trope in the repertoire of postmodernity.
"My current sig reflects my concer with ... "
Presumably that would be a lemurconcer ?

Jason Kendall's HR last year
One of my favorite moments from the 2006 season. The A's dugout explodes and rushes out to greet him, the crowd goes nuts, AN goes into shock, Korach and Cotroneo cheer and Fosse lets his inner "homer" run rampant.
rookie hazing
This was from the 2005 rookie hazing when Dan Johnson was a bottle of mustard, Swish was a plug, blanton a socket, Flores a bottle of ketchup, Yabu a Geisha and Huston was Britany Spears-esque....
I've had a few sigs,
I can't clearly recall any of them though. My last one was from one of Blez's interviews with Billy, and was about him talking about Swisher.
Currently I'm using a quote from green star oakland, and I decided to use it b/c it happened to make me spit my drink out of my nose when I read it.
From a scary Twilight Zone episode...
...in which aliens come to Earth pretending to want to "serve Man," by giving our primitive species "magic tricks" based on superior technology. They later take us on space ship rides to their home planet, sort of like a trip to Disneyland. It is then that a translator discovers, too late, what the title of one of their books says....nevertheless, nobody pays attention and we go, cow-like, to be eaten.
i love that episode i've seen it 3 times!
I also heartily enjoy the episode with Will Shatner and the fortune telling diner!
my Signature reflects a lot of what i think more people should do, lets stop the hate and judgement before we talk to people, lets ask them questions and get to know them first before criticising them, they might turn out to be your new best friend, or a great networking buddy, or your soulmate!
I know I noted it on another thread as well
But I like the Vonnegut quote.
I too change mine often
This new one is just a simple reminder to vote; we should have more than one player representing us this year.
You can vote up to 25x.
My is from Graham Coxon
from Blur. (I am a Britpop lover.) He said that after the British tabloids caught him falling over in the street. He still had the cigarette in his mouth! I just like blending the two loves in my life, baseball and music.

I made a sweatshirt
that has "Baseball is life" across the front. The sweatshirt is yellow, the words are made from fabric with a grass pattern. I have a bunch of A's autographs on it.
during this years fanfest
at the comcast player photo sessions... after we took a picture with swisher... as im walking out i turn around and yell " I HELLA LOVE YOU SWISHER!!".. then he looks a bit confused and shouts back with a huge smile " AND I... HELLA?..LOVE YOU TOO!"
one of the best moments ever....

ghost sign
for a ghost pitch
Not only self-explanatory, but true.

Keep in mind this is coming from the person who
thought "Lehmer's Concord" was "Lemurconkers," but I thought it was "Storage needs for business, or for family..." ??
