Looking for an old bit of ascii

· 5 messages · 8 Jun 1999 - 11 Jun 1999
I'm looking for an ASCII pic that hung on my wall for a long time until I moved to Australia. It was of a guy in a flame retardant suit burning down another guy and the speech bubble above the guy in the suit said "Die Lamer Die!!!". Could someone direct me to where I might find this pic again. -- I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.

Looks like you'll have to add the speech bubble yourself. ttfn -- Matthew `mpt' Thomas Columnist, http://www.newsroom.co.nz/ Webmaster, http://www.ucsa.canterbury.ac.nz/clubs/kakariki/ FAQ maintainer, news:alt.ascii-art

I thought it was done by Colin but I wasn't sure. -- If you can remain calm, you just don't have all the facts.

NB: I did NOT draw the above. . . I have no artistic talent... only
appreciation for others', so I collect what I like and pass it on to others,
always giving credit when I have credit to give. . . :)
