Love your list.
I have been using, "In joy, enjoy"

Posted by: Krazy Karen on Feb 23, 10 | 4:45 pm


Wow, I remember finding this a few years ago and it was great then, and still getting new additions! (and awesome ones too! "Con queso," and "Keep Flying" are excellent, and will most definitely be used in future emails!

I'm also rather fond of:
* Shiny! (also for the Whedon fans among us)
* The end.
* Blue skies and butterflies,
* Refrigerate after opening,
* Don't forget to breathe,
* Don't touch that dial,
* Shalom
* Zai jian (Bye in Mandarin)

and if the person you're writing to knows who it's coming from, so you don't actually have to sign it, my favorite is:
*vanishes in a puff of smoke*

KEEP THE SHINEY SIDE UP

Posted by: Wheels on Mar 04, 10 | 12:29 am


Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up,

That's the way it goes- first your money then your clothes,

Keep the little one in your britches and the big one between the ditches,

Fried, dyed, and laid to the side,

Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day,

Whatever, you no-talent ass-clown,

Posted by: Jim Miller on Jun 17, 10 | 5:40 am


"Salutations" should not be on that list. A salutation, by defintion, is a way to say hello, or to greet someone. Ways of saying "goodbye" especially in written form, are called valedictions. You could say "salutations" instead of hello. Hope this helps!

It's a good life if you don't weaken,

Resistance is fertile,

In the end it doesn't matter what is cool. What matters is what you think is cool,

Respect yourself, and wash your hands afterwards, - Bevis and Butthead

Unconcerned, but not indifferent, - Man Ray's epitaph

If you don't know who I am by now, consider yourself lucky. And if you must email me,

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong,

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas,

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

Jesus loves you. Everyone else thinks you're a douchebag.

Giggity giggity,
Shaken, not stirred,
Snappin' necks and cashin' checks,

Back back back... gone,
From way downtown,
Killing you softly,

Doesn't "sleep in heavenly peace" pretty much mean "go die" - it's like "rest in peace" or RIP, which is written on graves. It's from Silent Night which refers to Jesus who sleeps in heavenly peace (i.e. he is no longer on this earth). Either way that's a weird way to end a letter and if I got it in a letter I would be pretty confused...
