I was poking around idly today and happened upon a monogram I had drawn 
in high school.  Translating it roughly into ascii left me with this:
 
   _______  _  
    |  ||  |_| |\|
 _  |  || _________
(_)_|__||_ |  || | \
           |  ||_|_/                  __  _
          _|__||_   |_ |_| |\/| |\/| |_- |-<


which *begged* for more, garnering:


                         _______  _____  _____  ___ 
                          |  ||  /  || \  |  |\  | 
                       _  |  || |   ||  | |  ||\ | 
                      (_)_|__||_ \__||_/ _|__|| \|_

Not bad atoll, since my name is easy to asciify (most letters have mostly 
straight parts).  The O is a bit shaky, but what the hey.  Let's go for 
an entire alphabet.

   _____    ________    ______  ________  _________  _________   _____  
   /  /\     |  ||  \  /  ||  |  |  ||  \  |  ||   |  |  ||   | / ||  |

                  letters missing: Q S  
             letters needing work: G O
   letters that could be improved: C R W?

Things are looking pretty good so far, but I'm having a devil of a time 
working up an S, which I desperately need.  I've also no Q, and life 
without a Q can't be much fun.

Any input will be appreciated.
