Friday 5

1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails?
Depends on which email server I am using. One advertises my blog. One uses "MacOS X = Unix for geeks and non-geeks alike!". If it wasn't for the old four line constraint (from back in the days of usenet) then I'd probably use this one from LeeAnn with a few modifications.

2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven't graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?
I think from memory it was 'Asian Ambassador' but there was also some reference to computer geekdom. Remember this was a very very very long time ago.

3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?
We do have them. My wife picked them. First you need to know that 3 letters + 3 numbers was 'normal' at the time and by picking 'normal' plates it was fairly cheap. Second you need to know that we are Catholics (and proud of it). The plates are 'Deleted' - you work out what it stands for.

4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?
Off the top of my head I can't think of anything other than my name engraved on stuff. Wait, there was a medal from the Law Society of NSW for the mock trial competition in 19XX (I would have made a very argumentative lawyer). I do however treasure a performance appraisal which labels me as 'obstructionist'.

5. What would you like your epitaph to be?
'He tried' (but only if that was true).

I was #10 this week! Would have been higher if work hadn't intervened while posting my url.

Cindy: Well done (and quite quick too). If you want to claim a post of a question, go ahead. Most people here just look blankly and have no idea - I guess it is a phrase used by older Catholics just like DV (Deo Volente).

Well then, I'm claiming that I answered not only accurately, as in a bulls-eye, but also swiftly, unlike a water buffalo. The fact that I've got 8 years of catholic school in my blood has absolutely nothing to do with my brilliant response. :-)

Blog Roundup I would like to apologise in advance for this weeks review - it is not as polished as I usually try to make it (not necessarily successfully) and it nearly didn't get posted at all. My Boyfriend is a Twat
