h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm in a new quandary over my signature (s'OK)

Terri has a phobia about jabs and I guess that Madam_Cone may have one too, although she didn't express herself so forcefully.

I don't suppose that my original sig, as suggested by lil and Bel - Jab - would be any better?

I don't want to cause anyone any distress, least of all my friends. So let me try these on you - please let me have your opinions again folks (sorry)

jbk

wok

woks

......and I'll add
Jab
and
Jab - this one's Jabster in German or Dutch.

Sorry to go on about me like this, but it shows I was right to consult you and not steam ahead. It would still be open to you to call me Jabs or Jab or Jabber or Jabster or any of these if we finally do settle - would that be right, MC and Terri? It's just a matter of my signature.

You all know me by now - do any of these seem to you to fit me better than the others?

I need your help cos I'm about to have an identity crisis!

This is probaly not very helpful, but I don't mind your signature as long as I can call you Jabster.

I think that would be fine Bel -

I thought of that as a sig too, but it might be too long:

Jabster

sounding like Homer Simpsons

Duff beer....uhm I mean Jab

Somebody said you could program one of the function keys ? No idea how to do this, though

Which bit sounds like Homer Simpson pheloxi? Or do they all? Or am I getting to sound like him?

I think I could programme Jabster on one of my function keys, but wouldn't it still be too long, Bel?

J

Dunno, I hardly ever sign my posts anyway

Bel

Jab it was joke!

I never give that much credit

Acually, you never know, if you kept using Jab it might eventually help the phobia...but singular not plural, that really makes me shudder...

(personally i love wok; nice cosy, round things producing lovely stuff to eat...mmm...i've gone all hungry now, shall need to find a Jabberwocky to nibble!)

"Why not:

Jabbuda

Jababble

-JW- (not being ~jwf~ ) "

That would probably have to be wock or wocks then...

Even with Jabs, Terri, it's only short for Jabberwock...it doesn't really mean nasty sharp thingies.

- Jabber's bad enough...

a wock is a Dutch old fashioned glass container to preserve food like whole pears and apricots

My dearest virtual friend,
why are you so hung up about your signature name? I don't think on h2g2 it matters one bit,call me a killjoy (but only once ) but isn't it about how you converse with people? I enjoy talking to you,whether you sign off with a tom,dick,or even harriet,i care not a jot
I am off to bed now..so buenas noches Senor pinchazo,which in spanish medical terms means to inject (jab) and that sounds because you do 'inject' nice stuff and you have some lovely qualities about you and i'm waffling on....and on ...and ....on.......g'nite jabs.

Thanks for this Carino. I was always 'Jab' until someone turned up with a prior claim to it and I had to change. I think he might really have gone now , so I may well revert to:

Jab

Jab,

I always knew who you were, because I read the tags too!

Hallo Lil, fancy meeting you here at 3am eh!!!!

OK, i can cope with jab...so long as it's only a little prick.

*introduces smut; as is her wont*
