Uhhhmmmm
Righty-o, uh
That would be a lot of signing for him. Hes written enough code on a keyboard for goodness sakes... lets not give him Carpal tunnel.
If he has a dog he could have the dog do paw prints
Or not

Seems fair to me.

Oh, how convenient Dogscoff. You just make it into the Category that would get a signed copy. I personally think that being at least a First Lieutenant should qualify you.

Hmmm, since no one has seen his signature he could just train 30 monkeys to write his name on the Cds day and night, and no one would be the wiser,

Mwahahahahahahahahaha

I fear if this idea(s) come true, our forum would be spammed with unnecessary Posts within the next days.

Mr. Bun: Morning.
Waitress: Morning.
Mr. Bun: Well, what you got?
Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg, sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg, bacon and spam; egg, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam; spam, sausage, spam, spam, spam, bacon, spam, tomato and spam; spam, spam, spam, egg and spam; (Vikings start singing in background) spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam and spam.
Vikings: Spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam, lovely spam.
Waitress: (cont) or lobster thermador ecrovets with a bournaise sause, served in the purple salm Mr. Bunor with chalots and overshies, garnished with truffle pate, brandy, a fried egg on top and spam.
Mrs. Bun: Have you got anything without spam?
Waitress: Well, there's spam, egg, sausage and spam. That's not got much spam in it.
Mrs. Bun: I don't want any spam!
Mr. Bun: Why can't she have egg, bacon, spam and sausage?
Mrs. Bun: That's got spam in it.
Mr. Bun: It hasn't got as much spam in it as spam, egg, sausage and spam has it?
Mrs. Bun: (over Vikings starting again) Could you do me egg, bacon, spam and sausage without the spam then?
Waitress: Ech!
Mrs. Bun: What do you mean ech! I don't like spam!
Vikings: Lovely spam, wonderful spam....etc
Waitress: Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Bloody vikings. You can't have egg, bacon, spam and sausage without the spam.
Mrs. Bun: I don't like spam!
Mr. Bun: Shh dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam and spam. (starts Vikings off again)
Vikings: Lovely spam, wonderful spam...etc
Waitress: Shut up! Baked beans are off.
Mr. Bun: Well, can I have her spam instead of the baked beans?
Waitress: You mean spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, and spam?
Vikings: Lovely spam, wonderful spam...etc...spam, spam, spam! (in harmony)

I think he was kidding when he said it should be based on rank

Yep.

Lessee... figure ten seconds an autograph, times 50,000 copies, divided by 3600 seconds per hour... is almost 140 hours of signing time. Which is like signing his autograph for six days straight.

Now I know some consider Aaron a god, but until he actually has the power to bend time and space.... Wait, he doesn't already have the power to bend time and space, does he?

I think you're overestimating the number of people who actually want Aaron's autograph by at least 3 orders of magnitude, judging by the number of Posts in this thread.

I've seen his signature, as a beta tester I got a signed manual. Its cool, I have it in an airtight baggy. Away from the sun, so it wont ever go bad. Its precious.
