About 18 months ago I found a huge ascii drawing of one of those "ball" thingies from The Hitchikers' Guide to the Galaxy. The "balls" are usually portrayed with a huge grin and sticking their tongues out. I haven't been able to track this down anywhere....anyone know where I could find the drawing again?

That is great...I didn't bother trying 'cause I still fear circles, but looking at my "complete" edition, they don't have eyes or hair...so I rediddled a little.
