flea1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails?
Nothing. B.org I have Nutty's "It was dork glee heaven". I forget regarding what. I am not very tagline-conscious.
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?
High school I had a quotation from the end of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited. It was a particularly ponderous and self-important phase I was in. Better is the quotation from my 8th grade yearbook, which is T.S. Eliot on "old stones that cannot be deciphered." Eighth grade! And to me clearly indicative of my desire to be an archaeologist.
3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?
Not a vanity plate type, though I approved of grandfather's "HUBRIS" for his Porsche, and "RSNANTE" for his minivan.
4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?
No. Well, I do have an engraved silver baby cup with my first name. I guess that counts, right?
5. What would you like your epitaph to be?
Nothing. I want to be cremated and spread at sea (or, maybe, in the bushes where my grandfather is) with no headstone.

Found it
Date: 2004-01-16 06:16 pm (UTC)Home is where one starts from. As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment
And not the lifetime of one man only
But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.

Steven was standing there "on location" in front of a backdrop of Big Ben, and he was answering Jon's questions and calmly peeling and eating a banana as he spoke, but they both lost it and just laughed and laughed and laughed.
Sometimes, it is just funny watching other people find something funny.
