This sig file has made its rounds in my territory. First, I must admit that I 
"stole" the cow and used it in my sig for a period of time, but only in one of 
my provider's local newsgroups.  Then one day a friend of mine who goes by 
"bigdog" replied to one of my posts, leaving my sigfile in the reply, but 
altered thusly....

         /;    ;\
     __  \\____//
    /{_\_/  \`'\_/__
    \___   (X\  /X  }      
   ___/          :--'
   @@@  \_    `__\
 @@@      \___(o'o)
             \`. `._
              `-`-.,)

So I used it THAT way for a while, captioned "Bigdog killed my cow"
It became a fun thing in the group and everyone was taking their turn altering 
it, but the dead cow won out, along with the slogan.
Last week our provider threw a fling for all it's Iowa users in Des Moines.
Attached is a picture taken at the convention. That's me in the T-Shirt, and 
bigdog sitting down. Someone named the picture "The Victim, the Villain, and 
the Innocent."
