Re: First Ascii art :)


I guess I ought to join in this " My First Ascii Art " game because 
someone requested it.

I tend to be a collector and diddler rather than a creative ascii-
artist but I have done a few originals and I think  " The Lamprey " 
was my first ever original.  


Someone was trying to create a new newsgroup named "alt.lampreys" 
and opponents said the idea was stupid. 

I had to find out what a lamprey actually was because it was being 
said that lampreys liked biting cows. Anyway, here is my Very Own 
Lamprey of mid-1993 vintage...
