Close......The "Ob" actually means "Obligatory" as in 
"Obligatory Ascii"

ObAscii is normaly followed by a colin and can also be
followed by a descriptor b4 the colin to add flavor
if needed as such. And somewhere in there you should
include a title or a decription of the ascii....

Example:

ObAsciitodemostrateapoint:

A rock.
