Well I have been lurking and posting one or two things and getting some tips,
so here is my first attempts at some art.
PS: I have had to increase the line length to 77chars to post the WIRED logo.
.'=
' .' ` ` . / <-- Lawnmower!
. `. ' `'` . \ /
' ' .*~|.''.'
\\dr\\\\\\\\\\\ o---'..',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

For old people? heh... They sell 'em by the fudrucking dozen 'round here, over at Canadian Tire... And they're way better 'an gas mower's, too. For one, you get some exercise... And, did you know that, fully 5% of all toxic gasses and greenhouse gasses produced in North America are caused by lawnmowers and weedwhackers? Thats 5%, the other 95% being the billions of cars/trucks (as compared to a couple hundred million mowers/whackers) and all the industry on the continent... _____ _.-' '-._ _.-' '-._ / \ | ,---. ,---. | | ( ) ( ) | | '---' '---' | | | | ) ( | | / \ | \ / \ / \ / \ / \_/~~. : .~~\_/ /::::\/ \/::::\ \::::/---\::::/ `--' `--' -- Hilton Janfield valdus @ bcgroup.net ICQ: 7107014 darkfire productions
