And now some more pics to use up the space :

Dunno :(Man fighting a bird maybe)

    ~;'-{--      >')/) 
    /~)      --}/)_)'
    ~ ~          ^ ^
   
Run out of ideas so there will now be a lot of blank space :

Well, the story and the pics are great, but the content is so violent! See

combat the dragons.

Well, I seem to recall HAND - Have a Nice Day.

Bye all. 

I ran out of lurkland and said#:

Well.. that's a great start isn't it. My first two messages to
the group are off topic. Just have to make up for it with some on
topic ones.. mind you I'm not very good at ascii art.. 

*waves at everyone still in lurkland* Bye!

Well, I had been working on a new sig using a larger version of a knight 
on horseback, what a perfect time to use him :

             ,;~;,  
                /\_  / Someone call for a megahero?
               (  /   
               (()      //)
               | \\  ,,;;'\          
           __ _(  )m=(((((((((((((================--------
        ,/'  ' '()/"' '.(, |
      ,;(      )||     |  ~
     ,;' \    /-(.;,   )   
          ) //      ) /     
         ///        |||       
  ,;,;;,)_\\.;,,;;,;)_\\;,.,;,.


Sorry, that's the best I can do for the mo.  Maybe I'll add a bit more to 
the story later, but I have to do some work.
