I say it is a useful sketching technique, but to call the "raw" result
of a gif-to-ascii converter a "drawing"? hmmm... most of the time you
can't even see what those pictures are supposed to be... you have to do
some work on them before you can present them to people...

this one:

Please note, this is also just a sketch, I don't know enough about
rollerblading to add any details. You still can't see that the person in
the picture is rollerblading (I only know it because it said so in the
subject line...). Maybe some talented artist can finish it (or maybe
Kangaroo could post a URL to the original image...)?

Some of us don't have any artistic bones in our body though and
have to resort to these abnormal measures :(

Although I think I've found a funny bone in me somewhere... deep, deep
in there...
