Is it just me, or is this out of alignment? I've looked at a number of the 
drawings posted by the same person and only one (ice cream) made sense. Maybe 
I'm supposed to convert it? I'm using Courier font.

It's me too!
Um, here try this:

        =^   ^=
         \ x /
        /     \ ((
       |\ /\ /|  ))
      (_!!__!!_)//

I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he got it wrong

yep, AOL uses Arial 10 font, which is not "mono-spaced"  so to illustrate
and communicate with "lil pictures" we aol'ers make (or diddle ascii) to
satisfy our addiction ;-)

a few samples which most will need to cutNpaste to a text editor and
change font to Arial 10.

Don't worry if these don't look right, some of them didn't look right when
I looked at them.  I feel that non-monospaced ascii-art should be kept out
of newsgroups.  But what do I know? I'm only a computer programmer with
over 5 years on the internet.
