seeing as how people seem to post their first ascii stuff on here, i
figured i'd post mine... well it took me a helluva time to do..
it's the cover for a Primus album called Pork Soda... so if you've never
seen it, it may seem a little weird... :)
anyway, comments/suggestions are always welcome...

Does the "worst ascii art in sigs" still exist?  ;-)

I know it says its Odie. But, it doesn't look like him...At all.
I'm still trying to figure it out!

I'll have to agree.  It looks something akin to a mouse shooting
caffiene.

No, It's not supposed to be the dog who lives with Garfield.  Odie is my 
handle (having very little to do with the dog).  That picture is the 
first ascii drawing that I did.  It's a mouse

 (o) (o) :ears
   \ /   :eyes  
  | � |  :leg, nose, leg
  "   "  :paws

My old handle, "Slick", was getting pretty old so I changed it to Odin 
(the god).  I didn't like Odin 'cause it was a little to egotistical so 
I changed it to Odie.  Completely by accident my philosophy, "Ignorance 
is bliss", kind of goes with the dog in Garfeild comics (think about it. 
 Is Odie ever sad?).

Well, I've talked enough.

errr... is it just me, or does anyone else think it looks rather rude
in a headless sort of way?
