Since we have the new white macnn look, it is much easier to catch nice signatures, being honest I really like the Cody Dawg�one.

This is a cute little dog !, what kind of breed is it ?

historylme · Apr 24, 2005, 01:35 PM

Mutterier? ;D

rozwado1 · Apr 24, 2005, 03:43 PM

Maybe a **** zoo?

Cody Dawg · Apr 24, 2005, 04:13 PM

He's a Yorkie! Thanks for the compliment on the sig - I like yours too. Everyone here has great sigs, to be honest. I like them all. The Airbus 380 one is cool - love it.

I've never liked small dogs but this guy gives small dogs a good name. Everyone likes him that meets him and he's a tough guy.

that picture makes it look like he has a gigantic head

OreoCookie · Apr 24, 2005, 05:04 PM

It's a yorkshire. When I took my host granddad's yorkie for a walk, some cute chicks asked me if he'd still grow. Well, I guess not, he's 9

Unfortunately, he committed kind of suicide, he fell down (two!) concrete stairs and the skull cracked open. Even though having lived with dogs all my life, I couldn't stop laughing. Poor thing.

laughing at the dog cracking its head?

I can't explain it.

I grew up with dogs and I'm not a cruel person. But to die like this is just so absurd. There were three steps in total, and that dog manages to fall down two of them. IMO it's a very bizarre way to die.

effgee · Apr 24, 2005, 06:02 PM

that is **so** dead-wrong and yet so funny ...

you know you are going to hell, right? and I'll be right behind you because I lawled as well!

ghporter · Apr 24, 2005, 06:03 PM

Yorkies are not typical "small dogs." They are a lot smarter than most small dogs, but there's a reason: they're terriers. As a group, terriers are/were bred for intelligence. Contrast this with chihuahuas, which are fairly ancient and not bred for anything but companionship. Most chihuahuas, in my mind, are useless; they have been bred for so long to be "fashion accessories," that they have little inherent intelligence left. Yorkies, on the other hand, are bright enough that you shouldn't let them see how you latch the gate or their kennel/crate.

Significantly smarter than her. Enormously smarter than her. And without that nasty, smug "I'm so rich I could buy your family and sell it at a loss to space aliens" look, too.

No, I don't have any issues with Paris Hilton. Why do you ask?

Most potatos would also be smarter than her...

E's Lil Theorem · Apr 24, 2005, 07:35 PM

Well, I like my sig...a lot!

This one will replace my current one in the near future:

Ah! Back on the topic's subject! Yes, your sig has gotten my attention more than once, and I think your new one will keep that going.

I'm still working on my next sig. I had planed to change it out once a month, but suitable charitable agencies aren't as easy to find as you might think. Once I get the American Cancer Society's logo cleaned up properly, that will (probably) be my next sig.

OreoCookie:

Okay, if it was ANYONE ELSE besides you telling me that their Yorkie fell down two stairs, cracked open it's head and died, I wouldn't find it funny that you laughed.

But, the way that you put it was kind of amusing, I suppose.

If my dog fell and cracked open his head and died I would be devastated, I think. But, that would also apply to a guinea pig - I wouldn't want any animal in my care to die that way.

Having said that, my dog weighs 4 pounds 2 ounces. He's tiny. He looks like he should have batteries inserted somewhere. But, when you come into the house he marches up and plants himself in front of you, no barking, just staring at you and growls deep in his throat. No yapping - he's not a yapper. When he decides you're okay he wags his stumpy little tail and spins around in circles in front of you and if you bend down to pick him up he leaps up into your hands or arms. Also, no matter where you are in the house, if you tell him, "Get in your bed!" he'll run and jump into his doggie bed under my desk.

GHPorter: You are SO right about the dog crate thing! I just read that to my husband and he said, "Did you tell him about our dog or something?" I said, "No! He just knows it!" Honestly, our dog WILL sit with his teeny tiny paws and play with the latch until he pushes it open and then he squeezes out. The top latch (there are two) do not matter because he can squeeze out of two inches.

He's really a trip. Also, people who say small dogs aren't easily housebroken or potty trained are wrong because this little guy got it down pat in only about 2 days. He goes to the door and sits when he wants to go out.

He has a huge dog personality and he's a lot of fun.

Now, back to the sigs.

The sexytummy.com sig is really cool. Manofsteal, we like yours also.

Question: Why don't more mods have cool sigs?

???

Photobucket.com? If not, email it to me at e AT sexytummies.com and I'll drop it somewhere.

Cody Dawg · Apr 24, 2005, 10:49 PM

Yeah, Photobucket is the best.

I'm going to try to take a picture of my Yorkie's tummy and make it my sig.

Superchicken · Apr 24, 2005, 11:38 PM

Well, I just did a new version of my sig picture... Deathman's gona host it for me

I actually lost my chicken mini one... if anyone for some reason saved a copy (which'd be kinda weird) feel free to send me a copy haha...

THANKS DEBBIE DOWNER.

I haven't changed sigs in a long time.

I like this one. It brings back a hint of nostalgia.

I can almost smell the lining of my Dad's vacuum tube case holder on early Sat mornings.

Cody Dawg · Apr 25, 2005, 07:09 AM

Yeah, Zimph, some things shouldn't change. Like your Zignature.

Randman · Apr 25, 2005, 07:25 AM

If only we could get rid of the lines, or make them white so they appear invisible.

MoS, new hotness. Very 21st century.

Cody Dawg · Apr 25, 2005, 07:35 AM

I like your signature a lot, Randman.

We may not agree on other things, but your sig is cool.

P.S., What does "Randman" mean anyway? Are you an Ayn Rand fan? I am. Long live John Galt!

Cody Dawg · Apr 25, 2005, 08:35 AM

Weird. Tried to post a new thread and it came here.

Garage81 · Apr 25, 2005, 08:36 AM

i gotta work on mine a little.

mine is a little to "8-bit" - gotta step it up to super nintendo or sega genesis graphics.

ghporter · Apr 25, 2005, 08:54 AM

My new sig is up and running! It took less fiddling than I thought it would. Please remember the American Cancer Society when planing your charitable giving.

Randman · Apr 25, 2005, 09:21 AM

Thanks Cody. Actually I like lots of your posts though it's often like to disagree.

Effgee created this sig and it's far better than I imagined. Major props to him.

Rand's my given name but you can't really shorten it anymore so back in school someone came up with Randman (don't know if it was from Rainman or Top Gun). Figured it made a decent online name.

Cody Dawg · Apr 25, 2005, 09:41 AM

Effgee is a sig genius, then!

Randman is cool.

Oh, and yeah, Glenn, we'll remember the American Cancer Society. It seems like cancer is running rampant nowadays, unfortunately.

My brother is a physician and researcher and he's working on something right now that is very interesting: He is demonstrating in the lab that certain common viruses that we catch actually help eradicate certain cancers for various reasons. One of those is that viruses give us fever and certain cancers are killed or minimized by a fever. It's a lot more complex than that but it's an interesting study, that's all. In other words, the common cold and man may have more of a symbiotic relationship than we've ever imagined.

Hi WDLove!

Yes, our Yorkie is a Q-T (cutie)!

Do you have dogs or cats, WDLove? Methinks/I thought you were a cat person for some reason.

wdlove · Apr 25, 2005, 10:34 AM

Hi Cody Dawg,

Yes, I have three dogs. Have always been a dog person. Two Cairn Terriers, Lucy & Rachel. One Petite Basset Griffon Vendeen, Cosmos.

Thank you,

Cody Dawg · Apr 25, 2005, 10:38 AM

POST PICTURES!

Oh my gosh! I LOVE Cairn Terriers! And the "PBGV" is one of the world's cutest (and rarest) dogs!

My girlfriend has Cairn Terriers. I always joke and call them "Carin' Terriers" because they are so loving and wonderful.

I know that terriers can be notoriously stubborn, tough, judgemental, discriminating, and a whole host of other not-so-attractive adjectives and adverbs, but at the very bottom of it, they're all VERY SMART and they have such personalities. They're really great.

How old is your PBVG? They're very rare. Has he/she been in dog shows? I love them.

That's for sure... this guy is a handful-that's for sure!

Now as for sigs- I like voodoo's too.

what about transparent png's?

Superchicken · Apr 26, 2005, 12:20 AM

Uhh... I can't tell if you're talking about making the line a transparent PNG... or if you think he thinks there are lines in his sig...
The line is simply a set of underscores... I imagine the admins could simply edit the template file and remove those.

MilkmanDan · Apr 26, 2005, 12:38 AM

All this sig talk makes me want to make a new sig.... if only I didn't have college to bog me down.

Cody Dawg · Apr 26, 2005, 12:52 AM

What's his name?

By the way... what do you guys think of it?

Thanky, I lost the one with chicken mini in it, and decided I should update it considering the new iMac. Though in the end I had to completely redo it, I actually used my tablet on this one thus the much more hand drawn look to it.
