Uncle Bob <boba@wwa.com> turned up the heat on his sig:

After seeing the above, Todd S. Andrews <t_andrew@oz.plymouth.edu> suggested:

For which he's gotten lightly toasted, since Bob's email address is already
incorporated in the sig.  But I kind of wonder if maybe Todd had something
else in mind:

       \ ,.  ',        ,    .         \/ ,".). ',     \/. ',
       \\.,' /, ',      \(, ',   . ' ,'|// / (/ ,.  ' ,\(   / ,'.

Even if he didn't have it in mind, it's an interesting effect.
