Nope, its a vulture with a jackhammer, VGR [%] is watching him through the

	I'm not sure how sheepish to feel, but I actually know this one.

	Valencia is the chap's favorite football team (soccer to Americans).
I know this because I am in a PBEM league with him called the EEFL, in
which his team is known as the Valencia Lean Machine.  But that horrible
login name is, well, mostly his name (which escapes me right now).  His
other mail address is zxnoueih@wsuiar.wsu.ukans.edu, so you can guess his
university now.

	Course, his .sig IS darned ugly.  And his team's not very good, either.

Oh please. The next thing to happen will probably be Mr. IFW jumping
in and shouting "3 points! 3 points!". I may have a negative over-all
score, but that's just because my .sig is a plain one-liner, carrying
tidbits of Heavenly Knowledge from Above and not at all attractive to
newbies.

Ah yes, the warlords. I have collected these during my breakfast, so
I'll save some time for coffee and put them all together here.

Our first specimen comes from lance@lancea.actrix.gen.nz (Lance
Andrewes), in comp.os.os2.advocacy. It is not very offensive as such,
but it carries a nice resemblance to the rake that was recently seen
here:

>__
> _______  Email: lance@lancea.actrix.gen.nz
>////      ZL2AJH    Wellington, New Zealand

The next contestant is brian@hiramb.bitnet, who has chosen
comp.robotics to be his arena. Again, not very offensive, but I
thought that only aboriginals used boomerangs to kill ybers.

>---
>bushbo@hiramb.hiram.edu     /   
>                            \ yber

Next we have dulimart@cps.msu.edu (Hansye S. Dulimarta), also in
comp.robotics. You don't need much pattern recognition or image
processing to find out that the barphic in his signature is a typical
example of an unsolvable Norwegian maze.

And now, one of my favourites of the day: ajft@ajft_sun.cs.adfa.oz.au
(Adrian Tritschler) from comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools provides
us with this THING that really makes me go sprong:

Finally, here's Thomas_Hornschuh@softstream.fido.de (Thomas Hornschuh)

long-time warlorders will instantly recognize (What? I'm not gonna

We will become gentle writers of a.f.w and sing Good Vibrations in
perfect harmony.

I have a more important question: Where were you, when Kibo's sig
was shot?

Okay, stereo sigs may be passe', but that line about Tonga is priceless.

There are good sigs,

don't confuse them!

What is it with us Quebecers?

Shouldn't that be "How much we would like it if you were standing in front
of a .303"?  Preferably, one with full-auto.

Hey, it's good to see a few .sigs being trampled here. Last I checked this 
'froup was a single running flame war involving Kevin "King of the Killfiles" 
McBride. Before that, it was a single running flame war involving Ron "I am 
not a free man, I am a number" 5150. Before the next one starts, I thought
I'd toss this beauty in as an example of a completely unwarlordable .sig. It
was mounted like a jewel in a post to a local U of Utah newsgroup utah.misc.

It doesn't have a BUAF, no border, no USnail address, no Rush quotes, no Bart,
no self-quotes, nothing from Lady Caroline Lamb, no conspicuously labeled
email addresses, no shouts, no asterisks, no Amiga checks, no tab damage, no
Republican campaign rhetoric, and only a tiny bit of wasted space. I cannot 
stoop to calling the artwork it contains as a "barphic" - its majesty brought
a tear to my eye (left eye, the one reserved for responses to the 
uncontestable presence of one or more Muses). 
So what if it's six lines long including the two 80+ column lines? I nominate 
this for Tasteful .sig of the Aeon. What does the Old Guard think?
