I assumed it stood for 'obligatory ascii' as in people bitch when you just talk and don't post any art, so you include obascii in your posts.

Bat ? Duck ? Vulture ? Whoaah, that makes *lots* of pictures for me to finish ! Starting right now :-) (If I were I duck, I wouldn't like to have legs like that, cuz' I'd find it difficult to swim.
