Top Comments: These Should Be Sig Lines, Part II

Tue Nov 20, 2007 at 07:05:24 PM PDT

We have so many insightful and powerful diaries written here at Daily Kos.  Our diaries inform, inflame, impassion, and even entertain.  We Kossacks have strong voices and an even stronger will to be the change we wish to see in this country.

One of the richest, and perhaps most under-appreciated, areas of thought come in the form of comments attached to these diaries.

Here at Top Comments we strive to recognize and promote the talent of this community by highlighting outstanding comments found throughout the day by the diarist, and through nominations at made at topcomments at gmail dot com by your fellow Kossacks.  

These nominations are subjective, and certainly not complete (as no one can read the complete site on a daily basis!). But hopefully they will serve to shine a light where deserved, and to give the reader a good starting point in finding conversation on the site.

Please come in and make yourself at home!   Join us beneath the fold...

I. Fun With Sig Lines

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about little snippets of comments that have amused me over the years, and that I thought would make funny signature lines.

Since then, I've collected a few more that have cracked me up for one reason or another:

For the record, I find Markos, Obama and Edwards all to be "manly."

So, did she go to the little restaurant or not? For a "sandwich"?  If so, why?

Sure, he saw a UFO, so what?  So has 14% of the American public including Jimmy Carter and countless Air Force and commercial pilots, NASA astronauts, scientists, lawmen and others.

Shame is dreadfully overrated.

Do you have any self-respect left? Your soul will hopefully trump ambition and money.

Ruff! Ruff!

I hate hate your sig line

Some men think Granny panties are sexy

Of course, there are several sig lines that people have actually used that totally crack me up:

From Ninaine:

"As God is my witness, I thought wingnuts could fly."

From anna:

John Cornyn is an asshole with shoes. Support Rick Noriega!

From MBNYC:

People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch.

Let's hear your favorite sig line candidates in the comments!

II. Tonight's Top Comments

Via Crashing Vor:

kamarvt, commenting in MLDB's recommended diary, 'McClellan: Bush was in on Plame', comes up with the perfect title for McClellan's tell-all book about the Bush crime family.
