Hi all,

I've noticed some of you folks have some pretty well made, elaborate signatures and I was wondering if any of you might care to explain their meaning or where the images came from.

I'll hold off one explaining mine for the moment. I doubt if anyone recognizes the photo, but we'll see.

if mine is included in the "pretty well made, elaborate signatures" then i'll go first.

it is a spiral that i skewed and altered to look like a M C. for mike cosentino (my full name) and mike.cosentino.com at the bottom for my website address.

that's about it

Ah okay, this one is me at a Pokie at Crown! Wearing a hungry jacks crown - the guards there said I wasn't allowed to wear a Crown, at Crown! I bribed them with a free pen and they let me...

Basically, I had no money, and was thirsty, so we followed the drinks lady around and sat at pokies just as she was walking past them. Photo of me with orange juice, apple juice and diet coke, all free!

Edit: Upon closer inspection, the drinks are: 1 orange juice, 1 diet coke, 2 apple juice.

Anyway, I've explained mine several times before, but....

I wear boots, and the quote is from "Red White and Tuna."

Oh, man I went to see the original Greater Tuna a couple years ago, and literally could not breathe through half of it I was laughing so hard. We're going to see Jaston Williams' one-man show at the Paramount tomorrow afternoon. Can't wait.

My signature? It's some squiggly, colored stuff, with a bass clef and my name in it. Pretty obvious.

Not sure what it my sig means (or if it's among the well made), but why I like it might be:
a) I found something on my doorstep an took a picture of it..
b) It's my inner self..
c) I quited smoking..
d) Imagination..
e) Rocky..
f) Pixen..

Something like that.

if you only have an antenna, and you only get access to three channels, it's really terrible when one's the CBC, the other one is too fuzzy to watch (MTN/A Channel), and the clearest one is the French CBC. you'd go insane too ;-)

The koala in my sig is my girlfriend's stuffed animal that she's had for over 8 years. His name is Baoer (宝儿), which means "precious one." We sometimes also call him shapihaier (傻屁孩儿), which approximately means "stupid little kid."

My hostmom liked fixed expressions.

I think she came up with that one, too, so I remembered and use it as my sig for almost everything. My nick originates from the states as well: at my host brother's wedding, there were two (good looking) girls wearing black dresses. At that point, we were all reasonably intoxicated and started dancing. I took of my jacket and I remember my host mom commenting: "Ooooh, Max, you look like an oreo cookie!"

I don't know if mine is well made, but it's a scaled and cropped picture from last summer, of our restaurant where I work.

And then my username, which also is my real name.

My face with added sarcasm. Lately, I've been fascinated with how extreme color contrasts in pictures can make people look quite different from the original photo, and give off different emotions. Like, whoa. Not always pixels of pretty.

I rotate my sig every now and then.
Last one was this:

Current one I just kind of like. I'll probably change it again soon.

Was just playing around in photoshop. I like it.

I think next I'll try this quote: "How do you know its an american rover? The first thing it does is take pictures of itself."

edit: and my current quote is from a chat with brien.

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.

i was working on making my first myth II map back in the day and i had this nice camoflauge pallette (and my spelling is crap this morning) so i had these green-brown gradients which were to be the basis for the color of the map, decided to play with filters... hit it with a photoshop� stained glass filter, burned the crap out of the middle, and voila. i like it.
