(or something like that). well, it's easy. Just call one of the boards listed alphabetically (for your reading ease) towards the end of this thing and filemail me something. oh, and try to make it interest ing. i mean, i have no problem with articles on art groups or whatever, but i don't want any dry little info files telling me how elite your group/emag/ penile implant is. pOrk = fun. remember that little euphism and you're set. ° ---(what about distros?)---------------------------------------------------- ° dammit, you little fucker. i told you i hated questions. i hate being head pOrk guy. it's quickly loosing its appeal. anyway, concerning distros, just ask me on irc, or on one of the aforementioned (ack! big word!) boards and i'll think about it. fair? cool. and, anymore questions and i'm beating the shit out of you. ° ---(what's the meaning of life?)-------------------------------------------- ° fuck you. ° ---(ascii groups are neat)-------------------------------------------------- ° i know, i'm in one. well, so far as i can tell, there're only 3 ascii groups around right now : trank, endow, and kts. i think maybe wicked is still out there, but i'm not sure. anyway, i personally like trank, probably because i'm in it. endow's kicking all kinds of ass too. (this is a hint guys. do me pOrk logos). i haven't seen a katharsis pack for awhile, but i've been told it's still around and who am i to doubt the #ansi people? hey, wow. i just thought of something. i'm gonna put all the best asciis of the month in pOrk for your viewing enjoyment. oh jeah, forgot something. acid has an ascii div ision now. so these are the best asciis from trank, endow, and any other art group with an ascii division. enjoy em. ° ---(da best asciis)--------------------------------------------------------- ° ..rotated illium by mrkite (acid).. iii::::::::......::::....::ii:ii:::....::::ii::::::..::iiiiiiiiiii::::::...i ii:::....:::..::i...:...:iiii:i:::..::...:::ii:::..::aa8888888aaiii::aaaa... :::....:ii.:::i....::..::::iiii::..::i::....::ii::.a8"' aa `"8a::8""""8.. ::....ii.::ii:...:::........:ii:::..::ii::....::i: 8:::::8 "8::::8: 8aaaa8:: :..::i::i:......:::::::...::....i::..:::iii::...:: 8:::::8: 8::::8:: """".:: ....i..i....:::::::iiii::::...::.......::::ii::... 8iiiii8:a8iii8"::FMFMFM.: .::i.....::::::iiiiiiiiiiii:::::........:::::ii::. 8iiiii88iiii8::: 8 8.. ...i.::..::iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTTii:::....::::i:: 8iiiii8 "8iii8:: 8::::8.. .i..:::::iiiiiiiiTTTiiiiiTTTTTTTTTTTiiiii::::::::: 8TTTTT8. 8TTT8: 8iiii8.. :i:..i::iiiiiiiiTTTiii::::iiiiTT88TTTiiiiiiii::::: 8TTTTT8:i 8TTT8 8TTTT8:: .ii:i...:iiiii:::..:::iiii.::TT88TTiiiiiiiiiiii::: ROTATED:;: 8MRK8 ILLIUM:: .:ii:....:::::iiiii::::::..:TT88TTTiiiiiiiiiii:::: :..: . :... .::ii:......::::iTTTiiiiiiiTT88TTiiiiiiTTiiii::..:::::iii::::.iii::..:::::.. ..::ii..:::..:..:T8888TTTTT88888TiiiiT888Tii:::::.....:::ii::..::iii:....::: .:..::ii:...:...:T88TTTTTTTTTTTTTT888TTTTii:::iiii::::....:::::..:::iii..... .::.....ii...::.:iTTiiiTTTiiiiiiTTTTTiiiii::::iiiii:::::............::ii::.. ::iii..::.....::..::::iTiTTTTiiiiTTiiiii:::::iiiiiii:::::::...:::....:::ii:: iiii::..::...::i.......::::ii:iiiiiiii::::::iiiTTiiii::iii:::..:ii::.....:ii iii:::::..:::..ii::......::::iiTTTiii::..:::iiiTTTiiiiiiii:::::::.iiii:....: ....::i::......:ii:::......:iiiiii:::....::iiTiiTTTiiiiTTiiii:::...::iiii:.. ::..ii:::::.....::ii::.......::::::......:iiTTTiiT8TTTT888TTiiii::...::::iii :iii.iii::..:.....::ii:::..............::iiiT8TTTT888888888TTTii::::.....::: ii:....::i::..:....::ii::::::.......::::iiiTT88TTTTT88888888TTiiiii::::::::: i::.....::i:::...::...::iiii::::::::::iiiiTT88888TTTT8888888TTiiiiiiiii::::: ::........:ii::...::...::::::::::::::iiiiTTT888888TT8888888TTTiiiiiiiiiiiiii ..death throes by fractal (endow).. . ,, ., , | , d$$ . . $$$b'T ,$$$b , : | "$b. .

[note-i put together a file about it and sent it around the night before -mt] i will make a deal i quit asskey, u don't spread? ok? what deal? the funny thing is i always hated ripping............... i thought hell..its so old...wtf would notice [dumbass. -mt] damn u !!! :> shit so what do u think i should do..considering i ruined my rep +:< welp..i bet u are sending all this shit to the channel nah.. i sent around a zip with the original pic from like +acdu0294.zip welp i am toastr do i smell new alias :> so, the moral of the story is, this guy's a dork. keep an eye out for a new ascii/music guy popping up... also, i can't remember the name, but there's a dude in (i think) wicked who took some old cyberchrist menus with some tiny- toons characters and converted 'em. one of 'em i remember was of plucky duck and i think there was another. ohwell.. fuckit. ° ---(what a bunch of feebs)-------------------------------------------------- ° yeah, i know. anyway, i guess i'll take this opportunity to plug my group :) it's called apathy, we've released two packs, and its fun as hell.. go down- load em from your favorite art board :). ° ---(sounds cool)------------------------------------------------------------ ° anywho, thas about it for the first issue. like i said earlier, if you wanna contribute, mail me on one of these boards: alderaan 908-224-8780 evil intentions 408-251-6220 harvest moon 216-951-7059 succotash 408-ufi-ndit or, email me at sinnah@squeaky.free.org, or find me on irc (usually on #acid #ansi or #saga, just /msg misfit). oh yeah, today is october 16th, and it's my 16th birthday. i'm gonna go get stoned off my ass later. anyway, happy b- day to me.. now de me ansi for poo (my board, not up yet) or an ascii for da mag you're reading :). remember.. pOrk. pOrk is your friend. it's kosher. ° ---(buh-bye)---------------------------------------------------------------- ° seeya later dude.
