Hey!!  I did the same thing last week!  Or just about.  I did push it a
little further as you'll see.  It's after I toyed around with this stuff
that I had the idea of doing the ASCII puzzle.  Anyway, here is the post
I was saving for later this week...



Someone posted this little SIN wave in one of the ASCII groups:

   .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-. 
 .'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `.


I thought I could use that to make a fancy border or something. 
Here is how it turned out:


   .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-. 
 .'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `.
(    .     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .-.     .    )
 `.   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   `._.'   .'
   )    )                                                       (    (
 ,'   ,'                                                         `.   `.
(    (                                                             )    )
 `.   `.                                                         .'   .' 
   )    )                                                       (    (
 ,'   ,'                                                         `.   `.
(    (                                                             )    )
 `.   `.                                                         .'   .' 
   )    )                                                       (    (
 ,'   ,'                                                         `.   `.
(    (                                                Normand      )    )
 `.   `.                                              Veilleux   .'   .' 
   )    )       _       _       _       _       _       _       (    (
 ,'   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   `.
(    '  _  `-'  _  `-'  _  `-'  _  `-'  _  `-'  _  `-'  _  `-'  _  `    )
 `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .' `.   .'
   `-'     `-'     `-'     `-'     `-'     `-'     `-'     `-'     `-'




Now, seeing all that empty space in the middle I tried to fill it
in and this is what happened:

It could be turned into a comforter or something like that with
another straight border all around:
