With all the flame wars (and others) that we have had,
I thought it would be appropriate to have a monument
for the Unknown Ascii Artist.
I made us one with the portrait(?) of our very
unknown ascii artist: Philip Powell/Phil/PjP.

In the light of new evidence which is below, I have found there is a listgoing around. As you can see, the list is the sole property of the UAA (Unknown Ascii Artist). As such it is impossible to attach any blame to anyone for it. As usual the wrong end of the proverbial stick has been grasped. This may be attributable to a huge ego. The letters PC stand for Political Correctness. That settles the whole matter doesn't it! Message to PC (Could stand for anything, maybe Pickled Carrots *): So please refrain from speaking, you vertically disadvantaged, person of the very young variety who spouts water from the vicinity of the eyes. ______ | LIST | > ; TO ; > ,-. | GET | > qPjPp | RID | > \-/ (_ OF | > /\v/\_//| PC. | > || | .-' |______| > || |u| > ('"|"| > | | | > _,|_|_|,_ > / (_,|,_) \ > /___________\ > |___________| > | UNKNOWN | > | ASCII | > | ARTIST. | > /|_________|\ / WAAAH! > /_____________\ PC. > |________b'ger| ( @)',-., ,. > "" ( "' ) > -- '-,;'-_.' > Phil * I often talk to pickled carrots. They are my only true friends. They know who I am. I've never met a Pickled Carrot yet that asked who I was. They never criticise my art, they're always around for me when I need them. Actually that last bit is a lie because they also got wind of the list and have gone to visit the pickled gherkins. They erroneously thought that the PC reffered to them. So now I don't have any friends. Oh well, back to being unknown and lonely again. I'm just off down the supermarket to find some more friends.

As is obvious to anyone but a frog or very young child the whole thing is to do with the statue and the framing was not by one of an ascii gang. It was by a member of the PC * gang. I admit the jar of pickled carrots wasn't very good but that's no reason to jump out at me shouting 'Look, look, look'. * Pickled Carrots (Watch out they bite!) ___________________ ;Altogether now!!!! ; /"""""""""""""""""""" Any frogs in the picture above were not done by me They are the property of the one no-one loves Whose first initial is P.
