Oh, like that's any excuse for having a non-McQ sig.

I'm no good at animation type stuff, so let's see if I can fix this up
piece by piece.  First, let's get rid of that BUAF and get rid of about 
half of that sig.

Let's get rid of the unnecessary separating lines and shift the quote over 
to the right side of the sig, thus saving some more lines.

Hmm, almost there.  Let's get rid of the quote attribution, then it'll be
McQ and we can even keep the ".signature virus" line in by moving it up one
more line.

Look at that -- isn't that better?  I think it needs one last touch . . . 
ah, yes, we've got to give it a more appropriate quote.

There, finished.  If only all sigs could be McQ . . . *sigh*
