Of course it was.  I liked the part about the guy asking his girl if she
had a flatfish in her pants or was she just glad to see him.

You have no apparent position in the Linux/Microsoft debate and you post 
some pretty mean, thoughtless stuff. Yet, you are humble when complimented. 
 The compliment is deserved.  You are quite a character, almost worthy of a 
"cute and lovable" title.

Be careful with the teasing, kid.  Don't oversell it; we're all very

Hmm, wasn't trying to claim credit, and it's not something I could do
anyway.  I detect a bit of Viz influence (that's good, I like Viz!).

Hahahah, yeah, Drsquare did, thats why the cartoon image and I are so
totally alike ;-)

I've been playing around with some ascii editors for Linux, and now
have a good appreciation of the skill required to do a cartoon like
that, and its not easy, in fact I could never do it, due to a total
lack of artistic talent.

Well done Drsquare, you got class in the cartoon department.

	Not that there is anything wrong with grey hair, of course... I
possess quite a bit of it and I'm only 21.

Honda 900cc "Fireblade" 125 BHP and 410 lbs, I've had it up to

You hang out on alt.ascii-art, and I can see why you'd feel that way, as there
is some real talent there, but trust me, ffrom the perspective of someone
who draws stick figures as people, your ascii-art rules!

You should be thankful that you still have a head of hair to get grey. All 
the males in my familystarted to go bald at about 25 except me. Now, at  
43, I still have all my hair and none of it has gone grey.  My relatives 
always ask me how I escaped. Linux of course. Using Linux has prevented the 
loss of hair. Not only is it a great operating system but it can prevent 
balding. 8-)

A murder cycle or that is what my mother used to call them. The fastest 
bike I owned, a Kawasaki Mach 3. 500 cc, 2-stroke 60 HP.  I had it up to 
125 MPH. It could go faster but common sense took over.

	It's the same way with me and a good friend of mine that I'm crazy
for and that there is sort of "something" with.  Like me, he's got the
silver strands... except that he turned 33 this past summer and is
thinking it only makes him look old.  "Pshaw!" I replied when he told
me.  "Eet makes you look debonair, dahling!"

	And then there is the reaction that I get from people: they all
love it except for the rare few who apparently feel sorry for me and think
that I must feel awful "having this curse".  LOL!  As if!  It's an
identifying characteristic and only a few in my family have ever had
it.  It's a gift!

	Shocks of gray *is* sexy, man -- especially if it's found in
usually medium-to-dark toned hair.

You're going to have to learn how to not be so dense, kid, or you're
going to be an ass your entire life.  You don't want to be an ass your
entire life do you?  There's no reason not to do another if it is easy.
That's all there is to it.  You are lying to us or fooling yourself if
you claim that as the justification for not doing another one.  Running
out of material is easier to believe, but considering that all it takes
is crap jokes and weak humor, I'd say you're simply scared, too
frightened to post another in case it doesn't come out as well as the
last.  Nothing wrong with that.  But you have to admit it, whether you
do another cartoon or not, or it will rot your brain from the inside.
