    Yep, and I changed my actual signature to it when I was about 25 :)

    I was going to be the 5th member of Kiss or a Footballer also (American football or soccer since I played both)

    I still do :D
    I've spent many a quiet time at work with a permanent marker and a sheet of blank paper :D

    Yes, and it will come in handy when I become a famous photographer.

    My signature now is pretty flashy :cool:
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    Nope.

    But I was once complemented by the shop assistant in Gap for having a 'lovely artistic signature' :confused: ... how do you respond to that 'hmmm thanks' :o obv. a while ago before 'chip and pin' :p
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I was always jealous, my dad had the greatest signature of all and I have always tried to perfect his style but never quite got there

    as a kid i don't believe i practiced signing my name as an autograph.
    as an adult i must admit the thought of my signature has crossed my mind.

    my signature looks like shit.
    you can make out the word Chad pretty nicely.
    my last name has maybe the K visible but the rest looks like a drunkin blind
    dyslexic chinese gentleman is trying to write my last name while riding horse back through Mongolia in a snow storm.
    my penmanship is absolutely atrocious.

    i can promise you all something.

    Thats so crazy! When I was in 6th grade my bf and I practiced writting our autographs. I still sign my name the same way.

    Speaking of funny things we did as kids...my next door neighbour and I used to pretend it was our job to make the town more beautiful, so we busted out our box of Crayola's and coloured all the sewer covers on our street. :rolleyes:
    In my defense, I'm Canadian and from a small town.

    i did, and i love signing my art, although my signature has grown illegible and tinier over the years lol
  • Hitch-HikerHitch-Hiker Posts: 2,873
    I did for a little while, but I soon discovered my name is far too long to look cool, no matter what.

    aha, definitely did that. however, my dad has a really cool sig and when i was younger i wanted to make mine just as schnazzy, to be like him i guess...his still tops mine.
    i've been in my mind, it's such a fine line...

    My little sister would not only autograph, but pretend "commercials" and had her own "famous" name which was.....STARLA! It was awesome and has given me years of fun.

    Oh yeah I did ...
    It didn't turn out OK for me ... now each time I sign something they take money from my account :D
  • PJ_SalukiPJ_Saluki Posts: 1,006
    Yes, I did, but once I saw how terrible my autograph was, I knew I would never be famous. Of course I never considered becoming a serial killer at such a young age. That's still on the back burner if my need for fame becomes too great.

    I had to practice my signature all the time growing up, but that’s only because nobody could read my handwriting. My step-dad is a big ol’ Harley riding biker dude, complete with gut and beard, and he has the most elegant handwriting I have ever seen. I remember when I was old enough to really put that together. I wanted to be like, “Jesus Francis, where’d you learn to write like such a girl?” I preferred to stay alive though, so I never did…
