Hi all asciizaniacs,

i just thought why not posting this one to alt.ascii-art
i've made this while writing a mail and waiting
for a download completion.
it's not perfect nor good - it was made just for fun (and for a mail ;)
(btw: thats me playing billiard ;)

uhh oh, seems to be a little bit oversized (>70 chars/line), 
btw: is there a standard of the max. width ?

The pic is perfect. Are you really a "Manta type"; this guy really looks like it
;)

I hope you don't mind me abusing your selfportrait to make it more
"Manta-type" like. Or "matjes" as they are referred to in Holland
(no not because they like to eat raw fish or so, but because of the
woolly thing in the neck).

To be honest, I notice a resemblance here with the guy that stared
back at me in the mirror this morning :)

greetz,

hey its really true. yeah i have drawn it while writing a reply-
mail, in the first mail i've drawn an ascii 3d-cube and failed
drawing a 3d-ball (i've explained the idea of 3D-positionings with
the help of asciiz - do you really want to see them, yes? mail me if so :)
So ive tried to draw one in the reply mail. And so i've copied it and
it looked like billiard balls...and as the download still lasted more than 1h
(28Modem, downloading some fancy musics :) i've decided to draw a little
more...and as the download was complete i've posted the mail,
yep. thats the story.

hehehe yeah, i am "manta type" huahaha no, not really, but its a self portrait, yeah. and
don't miss "/me hurrying to tv" ;)

hmm yes i had problems pasting it into the news writer (as the standard posting file width
was 70chars)...(display postings with >70 chars worked, but not writing)

>Great self-portrait with just 8 ASCII chars :)

yes, sure, hadn't the time "perfecting" the drawing. But remember:

"8 chars is enough for everyone" - cydo97
