the blue text will form the words "fuck OE5".]

[An unusally successful ping-pong doodle]


I thought I'd try some ASCII art:
    _____
   |     |
   | RIP |
   |     |
   |     |
___|____ |___

It's a grave stone. What do you think? It's my first proper attempt.

Tom

-------

I think it's a door:

    _____
   |     |
   | Tom :
   |-    |
   |     :
___|_____|___


But it appears to be locked. Maybe you can open it for me?

VK

-------

     //|
    // |
   ||  |
   ||  |
___||o |___
   || /
   ||/

There you go. It also has a new door handle.

Tom

-------

*a creaking noise is heard as the door swings open*

    _____
   |     |\
   |  o  | \
   | <|\_|  |
   |  |\ |  |
___|_/_|_| o|_
          \ |
           \|

Who is that? Lets get closer and see if we can find out who it is...

"a little pix"? As in, a stick-man picture? Hmmm... and "pulled off"
generates two different images in my head...

     had to shovel some more snow to free up a space to
     put his car in. His clothes are soaked! SS is on his
     way here in his car and he can pass by the house
     and pick up some clothes for FS.<


       |||||    OK, I'll get some for him.
