I like other people's sigs, too - it's fun to read them.

I had to take out my Chesterton quote, tho - pushed me over the limit
It means more or less "I never tell a lie, because I am a wild man!" but I do not know where does it comes from.

Here too. But I didn't like to say. Also, I was tiptoeing around the word 'yankee doodles'.

Mercutio has a predilection for ineluctable terpsichorean misbobbles.

How's that?

It's from Braveheart, and it means "I never lie, but I am a savage".

It's from that scene in Braveheart (scene 13, if you have the DVD) where the princess representing England is negotiating with Wallace, and he's tellling her of some of the atrocities done to the Scots, and the princess' counselor says to her in Latin (thinking Wallace is uneducated and won't understand) that he's a murdering savage and is lying, and Wallace answers him in Latin (much to his surprise) with that line. I love the heart behind that line, and I really want to be that way - so in love with God and His truth that I'll never lie, and as wholehearted for God and people and right as Wallace was for his country and for what was right.

When I did a Google search, the only thing I got was from another messageboard where someone else had it in his sig! I should do another search now that it's in my sig - that would be fun to come up with myself for a search!

You have a predilection for inevitable dancing misbobbles?

[edit]Oh sorry, only one 's' in missbobbles.

Okay, hadn't heard of the t-word, but the rest ain't exactly rare.

What are 'misbobbles' then? A kind of badly-woven hat...?

It sounds like that great word 'taradiddles', but I'm sure it has a different meaning

misbobbles means mistakes, errors, slip-ups, etc.

Right now I'm doing somber lines from classic rock songs.

Plus... a couple things to help me do my tricks!

And I said, "How are ya, Sue?
Through the too many miles,
And the too little smiles,

Well I know a fa-ather,
Who had a son.
He longed to tell him
All the reasons
For the things he done.
He came a long way...
Just to explain,
He kissed his boy
As he lay sleepin'
Then he turned around
And headed home again.
