From the annals of ALT.ASCII-ART (possibly 1994):


Richard Kirk modified the picture of a snake to help someone:

           /^\/^\                                   rattle  /|
         __L_|  O|             .----------------------v-v-v-!/
\/     /~     \_/ .           /    ---------------.___!_!_!-'
 \____|__________/ `.   .----------------------    \  rattle
        \_______     `./     -----------.          /
                `.     `-----------      \--------'
                  `.                     /
                    `-------------------'




Greg Banerian then said:

Sorry Richard, but with a name like Kirk, your snake looks
hauntingly familiar.  I offer my help:

        .                *                       *
 .                .                    ,                .     '
      *     /^\/^\           '                  
          __L_|  O|       ______________________ battle       ` 
 \/     /~     \_/ .    (|_______1701A_________/ 
  \____|__________/ `.       ||               battle    .
         \________    `.     ||      *                          .
                   `.   `----||------------==               .
        *          )-`                    (
                     `--------------------'              *
               `
.                  .    ,                   *




and then I asked:

Hmmm, is this BattleSnake Galactica?



and later corrected myself:

No, no!  It's the U Hiss Hiss Enterprise.  :-)
