I think I'm dangerously close to becoming repetitive. It seems to me
that I've already done this joke, but then I turn around and accuse
myself of paranoia, and then I meta-accuse myself of introspective
analysis which we all know doesn't work, after which I realise that
I'm still doing it and subsequently just stop thinking and go to bed.

Where's the Acme Atomic-Powered Planet-Smashing Ray Gun ?  Every bad dude
has to have a big nasty weapon...

Perhaps there doesn't need to be an extra frame between the last two though;
it is kinda self-explanatory - expendable but faithful robot servant there
one moment,  replaced by smoking ashes the next...

I still like it !  :o)

You make me belive in reincarnation.

Because I think you were named Motti in a galaxy far away a long long
time ago.

 MOTTI: Dont try to frighten us with your sorcerers ways, Lord Vader.
 Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure
 up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find
 the  Rebels hidden fort...

Right befor Vader killed you without a BFG[0]

This time, much like the last time, there is in fact a reason for the implied
action. Hmm, actually it's kind of the same reason.

It's the "Store" link between "Fan Art" and "Links". I should make one
of those horizontal banner ads that are all the rage and put it to the
right of the website content. I still have 140px to go until I hit 640.

Heh heh. Playing around with my website in ASCII made me realize
that I should move "Archive" in between "First" and "Random" and
change "Today's" to "Latest". :)

I keep thinking of the ascii vision site that has been sitting on my
backup computers harddrive while it eats away at seti packets.
I keep thinking that what the world needs is some good old fasion
ascii art banners ads.  I do almost all of my surfing in a text
browser and have yet to see one.

Why would there be any underlineing?  
Checks tags, nope.  hmm.
</pondering>

Ohh because GUI browsers do stupid stuff like that.  I forget that
sometimes.  

Well in a text browesr it looks right.  And for me thats enough.

http://www.trill-home.com/lynx/enhanced_pages.html should be
a good starting point (even though it's a few decades out of date)

Some of those sites are still being maintained while a few are 404's
and then one of them had the nerve to tell me that my browser wasn't
current and I should upgrade!  
Thanks for the list.  I will see what I can find on their.  At the
very least It will be some good pages to rip appart and learn html
between my other hobbies.
