Wow.  I finally found a real goodie: tab problems and all.  No BUAF, but
still... I give it an even 5.

PS.  Can someone tell me why French people seem to write their last

Well, the 80 columns is good, and the 'reflectining' is a nice touch,
but you'll never vanquish the War Lord of the West with that wimpy

AstrosWosf?  Gimme a break.


Next entry:  gotta be careful now, I know this guy (barely.)  Background on
the sig:  Anime is Japanese animation; stereotype for most Americans is
Robotech.  NewType is one comic/manga/video or something, which this group
apparently decided to use as its name too.  Quotes are all from various
(subtitled) Japanese videos.  303 lb cyst was a really gross thing taken out
of some woman at the Stanford Medical Center--he's not kidding.  Pictures of
it appeared on the front page of the Stanford Daily...but I'm getting off-
subject.  Special feature of this sig is that he took the effort to find and
include his local mail code/zip + 4 and then managed to get the regular part
of the zip wrong.  His P.O.Box zip is 94309; His dorm zip is 94305-5038.
Good luck getting mail, Hao.  Not like USnail addresses should be in sigs...

Yes, a thirty-nine! Now when one of the DJs are kind enough to give
Colin last year's satin DJ jacket, Colin knows what to emblazon on the back.
Or heck, get a tatoo --you deserve it because this is definately quite the
display for the tasteless, the tacky, and an all round capacity for the bland
and uninspired. I predict that you, Colin, will fit well in your chosen field
of americian radio!

Heck, just as a bonus, lets rate him in those four categories!

Tasteless:	7.3
Tacky:		8.2
Bland:		9.7
Uninspired:	9.9 a perfect score!

You know what I always say, if they limit you to 4 lines: load in a really
big .sig! With ugly ascii graphics! And a Bitnet address! And a K00L quote!
... NOT!

I especially like the truncated REALLY ugly ascii font in the included sig.

It took me a moment but I finally recognised it - its a shoulders up side
portrait of a person with a big nose, a very short haircut and a boil.  I
can't figure out why the boil's called Plattsburgh though.

This confused me at first also.  I was trying to resolve something out
of the big 3-D shapes, rather than the space in between the shapes.  I
have to admit that, in spite of being tortorous on the eyes, it *IS*
interesting.

I'd have to vote this as "The Most Interesting Yet Still Visually
Tortorous Big ASCII 3-D Font Of The Past 24 Hours."

Hey, Kibo: Is this one of the new Stone fonts?  I'm still waiting for
you to produce Lego Narrow Bold Semi-Serif.  How about Spot-Roman,
where each character in the font appears to be made up of many little
pieces of Spot droppings?

Is Daniel O'Malley well endowed or what? A fully paid up member of the 240
column club and proud of it! His BUAF pales in comparison to his
columnar capacity. And those quotes...

Speechless.

I guess that gberigan thought that by including such a brute of a sig
that his weird ascii moose/thistle/plant_from_the_little_shop_of_horrors/
whatever_the_*fuck*_that_is wouldn't get picked on... Think again ascii
blob designer space cadet.

This is impressive.  Four lines of gibberish that neatly conceal a bitnet 
address or so, a few "Mr. Subliminal" jokes, and an impossible request: 
Flame Me Not.  
On talk.abortion.
Riiiiiiiiiight.
Only four lines, *no* whitespace, no classic sins like lame quotes or 
tacky borders or BUAFs or ascii drawings, but the bad jokes, impossible 
demand, and just pure gibberish let me rate this one at a 6.5.  At least.
