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 ?

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, mic
