TALK - Help with this snake!?

TALK - Help with this snake!?

Way, way back, many years ago, in article <2palor$il...@netnews.upenn.edu>,
The Enchanted Nrock <per...@eniac.seas.upenn.edu> inscribed in stone:

>Hi -- it's me again -- the big bad ascii thief!

   An ASCII art thief!  Wow, imagine finding one of those here!  Why the 
nerve of the bloody rascule.  I wouldn't have dreamed it possible.  
Someone who actually takes ASCII art from other sources and uses it.

   My my ... how shocking.  Of course, none of the rest of us have ever 
been guilty of such a horrible offense.  Although, if the truth were to 
be told, and ASCII theft were a crime, most of us would probably be 
hanging from the business end of a short ASCII rope.

   Now about this snake.  I think that before our convicted ASCII fellon 
is allowed to use it, we should probably take a few weeks to make sure it 
hasn't appeared in somebody's sig before.

   He may be trying to pull a fast one here.  You can't trust these ASCII 
art poachers.  They're somewhere between a child molester and a 
politician.  If there's any room between those two.

   Hmmm ... a snake ... appropriate for a sig snatcher.  How about a Jolly 
Roger or a weasel?

>Got caught for sig snatching, new sig in development - The Enchanted Nrock *:)

   Well he's learned his lesson.  Which means that next time he's sure he 
won't get caught.
