From the example:

Example 1:
==========

Old Skip here obviously is tooling alt.personals for some lollypop sucking
bimbo into stuffed animals and spending long hours at the boob tube.
As for this minute list of his insignificant, bland as white bread
"interests", let's set the record straight:

>.---------------.-------------------------------------------------------.

>| (__  ., . ._) | me Lame Lame Lame Lame Lame Lame Lame Lame Lame Lame  |
>| ___) |\ | |   | Lame Lame * stupid PC* Stupid.summer.account@Hell.edu |
>`---------------'-------------------------------------------------------'

And IO107891 permutates to 987110IO and IO017981, so you should feel
pretty insulted.

[As far as warlording goes, the above is too easy, artless, and common.
But, some people never do get the hang of being clever.]

Example 2:
==========

9 asterisks             900000000 
Amiga Checks                  246.0024
Great Borders                   5
No Rush Quotes                 -2

Wow! A Whopping 900000252.0024 points on the bletch-o-rama 3-D in-your-face
super-colossal ICUB12 scale! Gold stars for everyone!

[Umm... very formula, done to death]

Example 3:
==========

Well, let's just crank up the info-filter (copyright 1992 leeds.over.there)

Right! 

[Actually, Leeds has been very kind on this since a few complaints about
beating a joke to death were made. It's more here to let people know it's
been done before.]

Example 4
=========

Ja, how do if this seen before has been I know? The people archives demand yes!
Take my wife, please! 

[A graduate student with too much time on his hands that doesn't even bother
to warlord a sig in his post. Really, this belongs in a.f.w.d.]

Example 5
=========

PKTCOOa.f.w

B.

[Once striking as an immediate catchphrase, now beaten into the ground by
poseurs. And if you really had a legit complaint, you'd use the 'R' key instead
of tackily trying to one up your peers publicly anyways.]
