Talk-Line: Chinese Ascii Update

Hi everyone! Thanks for the responses so far. I'd like to ask more people to
send more non-holiday (i.e. Chinese New Year) material as already I have over
10 (most likely more) ways to write "Xin nian kuai le" or "Sun neen fai lok"
and other type of phrases :)
I would like, however, other phrases or even individual words which are more
used either in conversation or signs or somethings like that. Things like the
following "how are you" are nice:
,,, ,|, ,,,
,||| ||' '||| ,,,|||,
||| ,||' ,,|||, ,|| '|||'''|||'
,||' ,|'||||' ,|||' ||',,, ,||'
,|||| ' || '' ,|||||| |||,,||
|' || || ,,|||'|| ||'|||'''||'
|| , || '||, '|'' |,,|' ||
|| || || '||| ,|||, ||
|| ||| || || ,||'' ||| ||
|| ' ,,,|| '' '' ,,,||
'' '||| '||||
''' ''
and something of this size is probably the largest it should be, although if
you have something larger, don't hesitate to send it anyway. Ideally, the
entire word should fit on the screen (and maybe a 2-3 lines should be seen at
once). Please continue to send, I have a number of people on the mailing list
already and it would be nice to be able to have a nice list to distribute.
Don't hesitate to try your own hand at it. Drawing ascii art may take some
practice but it's not too difficult. :) Submit what you can, I'll give some
feedback if you'd like and I'm sure others will too if you post it.
I'm sure there's more out there and if not, hopefully people will make more!
Thanks again for your interest and submissions. If you'd like to be put on
the mailing list, just mail me!
Daniel
