Sorry to burst creativity's bubble.  The scotty dog is posted in AOL's
Arial font and is looking to the right. And the reason some of the letters
are missing is because he used alt-key (non-ascii) characters for some
of the work...  It is a very good scotty dog though... but not the mean
looking thing that it appears to be in fixed-width font...
