That about sums it up.
If you're curious he also posts them all on http://www.asciiartfarts.com/
Where he also just posts this and nothing else.

.. OK rarely it happens he makes a caption that IS actually funny ..
sort of the like the theory that if you give enough monkeys a keyboard,
eventually you will get a text resembling shakespeare .. because if you type
something random for long enough eventually you will get a readable result.

I have seen 1 , maybe two captions that were funny .. he have to date posted 813
ascii-farts .. so it's a awful lot of junk compared to the ones where he strikes
it lucky.

The funny one i'm refering to is # 444 -
