Wow... Looks like your ascii style would be perfect for doing some of the
pictures I'm looking for... *hint hint* :)

Nice pic, BTW. Is that a preview of what's to come when your Advent day
comes around? :)

LOL! :-) If you've got a request you'd better get it in quick 
- I'm on a roll at the minute and I don't know how much longer it'll last
(My guess is until the weekend when evil biffy make me give him the computer
back!). What was it you wanted done? :-)

Well - acshoowully, what I've done for 5 December on the advent thingy
isn't as good. :-/ But it's pretty big, even for me, and I made it 
specially for the cloggies who read the newsgroup. you'll just
have to wait and see - I don't even know if Martin has seen it yet!

Duckman ascii. :) Namely, the logo, and the main characters (Duckman,
Cornfed, Bernice, Charles & Mambo, Ajax, Fluffy & Uranus)
Pictures can be found at...
http://www.creighton.edu/~jduche/duckpix.html
That's about the only good link I have right now... *sniff*
Just do a WebCrawler search for 'Duckman' - you'll find pictures. :)

Heh. I think Martin may be posting an early picture of mine if he has to -
it's a 'preview' of what's to come on the 21st... :) (a very small part of
the picture...hehe)
It'll be my first attempt at a large ascii, and hopefully won't blow up in
my face :)

It's reminescent of what happened to me last
Saturday night-- but I fell backwards, landed on
the floor with the Christmas tree on top of me...
(I'm still pretty sore but nothing broken.)

Thanks VK for the lovely reminder!  LOL

It reminds me of the time that we got a tree that was a little too large
for the living room.

                  ^
                 / \
                 7 ~
                /   \
                7 \ ~
               /     \
               7     ~
              /   /   \
              7/  7   ~
              /7      \
              7    \  ~
             / /       \
             7 7      \~
            /    /      \
            7    7      ~
           /         \   \
           7   /         ~
           /   7  /      \
           7      7    \ ~
           /    /         \
          7  /  7    \    ~
         /   7     \       \ 
         ~     / ||    \   ~
  ejm 98         ||

My dad took it down to the basement and chopped the trunk so that the
tree was the right height.


                  ^
                 / \
                 7 ~
                /   \
                7 \ ~
               /     \
               7     ~
              /   /   \
              7/  7   ~
              /7      \
              7    \  ~
             / /       \
             7 7      \~
            /    /      \
            7    7      ~
           /         \   \
           7   /         ~
 ejm 98    /   7  /|     \

But now that it was the right height, it had too many lower branches to
fit into the stand. So my dad happily proceeded to chop off lower
branches. His saw was new and bright and he loved to use it. He
triumphantly brought the tree upstairs to put it in the stand.

                  ^
                 / \
                 7 ~
                /   \
                7 \ ~
               /     \
               7     ~
              /   /   \
              7/  7   ~
              /7   |  \
                  ||   
                  ||    
                  ||    
                  ||     
                  ||     
                  ||      
                  ||      
                __||__  
               [ejm 98]   

My father is not a cursing man. But he stormed back down the stairs
muttering words I had never heard and proceeded to drill holes (with a
hand powered drill!!) in the trunk where the many branches had been.
Then, muttering all the while, he glued and tied the branches back into
the holes.

 
                  ^
                 / \
                 7 ~
                /   \
                7 \ ~
               /     \
               7     ~
              /   /   \
              7/  7   ~
              /7      \
              7    \  ~
             / /       \
             7 7      \~
            /    /      \
            7    7  \   ~
           /   /  |   ~  \ 
               __||__  
              [ejm 98]

The tree looked absolutely stunning:

                ` ^ ,
                <   >
                ,/v\`
                 7*~
                /"(=)
                7*&"~
               /(+)""\
               7`*o"*~ 
              /!*"(=)*\
              7(%)""&"~
              /%,:(#)*\
              7,^'*`,^~
             /#(=)"*&,@\

 |_|_|[_]<__>|(+)[ejm__]|_|_|[_||_]


But it had a curious tendency to suddenly and without warning drop a
whole branch to the floor. We would hear the crash and tinkling of
ornaments at the oddest times. (Thank Heaven we didn't have a cat or dog
that year!)
