Monday Musings

So I've write emails quite often and I've been thinking about how I sign off my emails. You don't say "Yours Sincerely" or anything like that but what are you 'meant' to say?
I have struck upon the thought that, to infuse a bit of humour into your day, it could be fun to sign off emails a little differently... Instead of the fun and friendly "Later Skater" you could try- "Later Slater" or "Later Scatter-brain" or "Later Dickhead"
If you often use "See you later" you could try "See ya- wouldn't wanna be ya" or "See you when I'm looking at yo ugly mug" or "(I hope I don't have to) See you later"
It seems many people think it fun to play with common rhymes. In place of "No probs corn cobs" try "No probs dick face" or "over and out, arse breath"
Rather than "Goodbye porkpie" substitute "Goodbye fart-breath" or "Goodbye lard-arse"

You could add a touch of intellectualism and quote famous sign-off lines such as
"May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits" (S Hussein)
"Eat my shorts" (Bart Simpson)
"Kinds retards" (Winstone Churchill)
"Sincere commiserations to your Mother" (Robin Williams)

I wonder if engrish might have a special place in new and exciting email sign-offs... instead of using the english language to make sense it could be rewarding to use it more artistically
"Happy day to shine you on" or "happiness rarely last as long as life is long. Be happy you on this day then"

I would appreciate any feed back and idea regarding this matter. I feel a revolution coming on!

I agree Brooke Baker that sign offs could become much more interesting. I have a penchant for the rhyming variety; 'Over and out, sauerkraut' 'catch you later, mashed potatah' 'peace out, girl scout' and so on and so forth. However nizzle-izing your name also makes for good sign offs. So peace out my shizzly nizzly, from the crizzle meister.
