A few of these are my favorites and tend to appear more than others in my
posts.

This first one was paterned after one of Scarecrow's.  Soon after, I
completed the entire font (BLOOD) and posted it.

This one was inspired by an ASCII picture of an american flag.  I finished
the font and posted it, then some nice person converted it into a FIGLET
font called USAFLAG.  I added a little Geek Code and called it a .Sig!

This next one is a joke between me and my friends (they all know that I own
several laser printers).

I have no idea where this one came from:

-o---o     o--o--o  o----o  o----o  o----o  o

 |   |        |          |       |  |       |       (That's an order,
-o---o o   o--o--o  o----o  o----o  o----o  o----o      DAMN IT!)



These next two were the first .Sig files that I ever created.  I love the
game of 9-Ball and play as often as I can.

This next .Sig gets more comments than any other.  I found the quote back in
'83 (can't remember where) and I drew a picture of me (the computer wiz).
The "a" in the drawing is supposed to be a mouse.

The next one will only make sense to anyone who has been through a Compiler
Design class.

This next one was based on a small piece of art that I drew because of a
request posted to alt.ascii-art for rafting related art.  I made a quick
trip to the gopher FIGLET server for the word "Rafting" and added my e-mail
address:
--
            !!         O        I would rather be...

After I created the full sized BLOOD font I received a comment that it was
too big.  So I created this .Sig first, then began working on the rest of
the letters.  I posted the entire alphabet which someone made into the
SBLOOD (Small BLOOD) FIGLET font.

I have not made a font out of the next one yet:  (Hmm, Should only take a
couple of minutes though)

I am in the middle of my Senior Project (Bachelor's of Computer Science) at
National University.  We are developing a game program based on Star Trek
(including all TV shows and movies).  I wanted to create a 4 line .Sig based
on the Next Generation and this was the best I could come up with:
--

Now you have seen some of my .Sig files.  Oh yes, here is one more:

.Sig?  No thanks, I'm trying to quit.
