@--Dear friends and people whom I have annoyed over the past two years.
@--
@--I am pleased to announce that my gf and I will marry shortly after the
@--first of the year. She and I dated for a couple of years in college
@--(1971-73), but she left me. "I had a dream long since of Love's wild
@--glow - Locks, mignonette and myrtle - all it teaches of sweet, red
@--kisses and of bitter speeches; Sad airs of sadder songs - long, long
@--ago." - Heinrich Heine

FELICITATAIONS Rayo!!! Although I haven't read any post of yours before (I am relatively new here) and you probably haven't read any of mine either, I still
want to say I am very happy for you. :-)
Originally I really wished to make you a pair of Chinese bride & bridegroom ASCII (I mean, a wedding couple wearing Chinese wedding gown & 'tuxedo'), but owing
to my apprenticeship in ASCII-art, I am just incapable of doing so. So instead I have made you this:
__|__ __|__
_|_ _|_
.---. .---.
|___| |___|
_\_/_ _\_/_
_X_ _X_
| | | |
|___| |___|
So you may wonder what the heck that is...well, that is (supposed to be, anyway) the Chinese letter/word that is exclusively used to denote "a wedding event".
This word is actually composed of a more general word, namely
___|___
__|__
.---.
|___|
__\_/__
__X__
| |
|_____|
which means "happy" or "happiness", and by concatenating two copies of this above word, you get that special word about wedding. In fact, if you go to any
chinese restaurant, pretty often you can see this word, made into 3-D and painted in golden, hanging on the wall near the dragons. I hope you know what I mean.
Anyway, congratulations once again! :-)
As for everyone else, today's Chinese class is over and you are now dismissed.
Veruschka. :-)
