   Another thing you could do to cut the amount of characters used is to 
do it like this:

                                      .  ,
john_vander_zwaag                   . ,`o--Y
            ____.....------.'      .,' ,,~''   `,------.....____
        ''''`    `---.:: ,':       ; ,'         ;`. ;;.---'    '````
jrv...@ra.msstate.edu `   `:__`-._   `.`.,    _,-'__;'   '
van...@erc.msstate.edu`    `---`---'`'`---'---'  '
http://www2.msstate.edu/~jrv1      \`--'/`,,
                                  ```  '''

   By doing it this way, the number of characters drops from 475 to 419 
(or thereabouts).  Still over 320 characters (4 x 80), but who am I to 
talk.  BTW, that's a nice chicken. :^)
