 Since my newsfeed is running about three days later than the rest of
the known universe (and Cleveland), your tender Warlord sensibilities
may already have been exposed to this .. erm .. "siggette". But quite
frankly I don't give a toss . . .  because it's time for . . . 

 WARLORD QUIZ

Q1. The design of this sig is actually quite ingenious if you know what
    to look for. It is actually a pictograph representation of a well
    known phrase. But ... and this is the tricky bit ... you have to
    read the pictogram from right to left rather than left to right.
    With those clues, can anybody guess what the phrase is? The answer
    is given below (in encrytped form) for those wimps-not-worthy-to-call-
    themselves-warlords who have recently begun to appear in afw (yes that 
    DOES mean you Mitch!). Prizes will be awarded for the "neatest correct
    entry" as judged by the Meach (who professes to know a great deal about
    such things). 

A:  Ubbx, Yvar, naq Jnaxre


[more quiz questions to follow ... perhaps]

Jesus vs. The Cub Scouts? Where I come from, there ain't no difference.

> Keywords: Cub usa policy faith religion bsa

What do these have in common?

a. Groups that are fun to hang out with for a while. 

b. They have all screwed someone, somewhere.

c. They all waste a perfectly good sunday afternoon. 

d. They all have waged war on people/things they don't like
   (Girls, Homosexuals, Muslims, Trees, Free Expression, etc.)

I know this sig is old, but it hasn't been warlorded since I started reading

No no no..  While "changing the (l)user's .signature habits" may be why
people say they warlord (because it sounds lofty and nice), we all know
it's because we just like looking at ugly things and laugh at them. 
Right?

Crossposting our findings around the net would just result in a lot of
frosh flaming us because they are aesthetically challenged, and don't
understand what warlording is all about.  Even now there is enough
activity in this group that I don't have time to read it all.

Ok, ok you've probably seen it before, but that's the best I could come
up with on such short notice.  And it *is* 18 lines long with a
barfulous border, so it may not hurt to warlord it again (*).

Well my, Rickie, been reading your "famous philosophers in five minutes"

Yow.  Definitely your basic BUAF, though nice backlighting by what I assume
is the fusion reaction.  (If your monitor starts to glow brightly while

In rec.humor, bjst@sth.frontec.se (Bjorn Stenberg) signs:

I'm confused.  There's an Amiga check, but there's also a program that
prints out the word "unix", and a reference to Dec Wars, which is probably
Charles Lasner's favourite movie.  (ie. The main character is called Luke
Vaxhacker)

So what computers _doesn't_ this guy like?
