I think I also remember the cupped hands you are talking about. But I am
too lazy to look in Deja News to see if I can find them. Instead I did a
little doodling.

                  /       /
                         /

Oh my no! Too large for a sig! But I applaud myself for trying:

          ,,,
         !!!!\\\\
       '`!_  ||||
        ` \`-'''|
          `\   /
           )\  \
    ejm   /  \  \
              \


        ////
       !!!!  _      \\\\
       !   -'/   _  ||||
        \   /    \`-'''|
         \__|     \   /
         )   |     \__\_
  ejm   /    |      \   (
                     \

Getting closer:

             _________
            | Name    |
        ////| E-mail  |\\\\
       |!!| |_________||!!|

        \   /        \   /
         \__|         \__\_
  ejm    )   |         \   (
        /    |          \   \

and even closer (though it's still a little large at 9 lines) :
             ________________________
            | Name                   |

         \__|                        \__\_
  ejm    )   |                       \   (

That's the best I can do for now. Anyone else?

La raison d'etat a ses raisons, que la raison ne connait pas.
Don't ask me who said that.


Hmmmm... can't remember if I ever posted this one.

Joris!! How nice to see you here! and with a new posting too!

I have been worrying away at this some more.

Hmmm, that is rather an awkward position in which to hold one's hands.

                            /
That's a little better (but still MUCH too large for a sig file)


And this one at 10 lines is 5 lines too many for most newsgroups:

           ________________________________

    `-------------,   \        /  ,--------------'
                   |   \      /   |


Okay that's enough of that for now. Surely, someone else has drawn
better cupped hands by now....

I don't really know what cupped hands look like, but maybe one of these
hands will do (most aren't sig sized, mind)

I doubt that. I really like those hands. They could be part of
someone saying "Weeeeell". But when I tried to add a face I
realized that the thumps are on the wrong side for the picture
I had in mind. Changing that wasn't so good. :( 
Weeeell ...

Hi llizard,

The drawing wasn't really new you know, it was made some time ago.
Although I don't draw ascii anymore I keep reading the newsgroup.
Just to see how you guys are doing.  :)

[a while  later]

Now now, look at me...
...just said I didn't draw ascii anymore and though...
there's a new one.

Nope, sorry. . . I've never drawn an ascii pic, let alone one that nice! I only
repost that which I find elsewhere(including here) and have in my collection,
that's why I sign with the disclaimer I'll use here; if I neglected a
disclaimer when/if I posted the above pic, I hereby apologize to the real
artist. . . :(

NOTE:     I did NOT draw the above picture(s) I have NO ascii art
          drawing ability AT ALL;  I am merely a collector & sharer of
          that which I enjoy of ascii artwork in my travels...

AH good, Joris!  I knew you wouldn't be able to keep your ASCII-art pen
entirely still.

'-----------------------

Most of these large collections of related pics I have are taken from the
a.a-a anniversary postings Colin made last year, and the 4th anniversary the
year before... others are gleaned from collectors such as Kangaroo ...
anyway the creds that are on the pics in this file were nothing to do with
me... maybe it was a different George Pope?

Whatever...

:) Well, it's an "unknown" pic in my collection and I think it's
just another example of misleading "added" credits. I eg try
to distinguish between "posted by" and "made by" by using
the "From" line of the posting in the former case. But of
course other persons wouldn't know that and might perhaps
add "real" credits when they copy it. The jungle of Ascii
pics ...
