623.0. "ASCII Sound" by STOWOA::PJOHNSON (aut disce, aut discede) Fri Dec 15 1995 08:49

I haven't looked up who did it first, but whoever used the

                BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

string to represent bellylaughter should be awarded, IMO.

On that subject, and similar to a few smiley-face-repositories (you
know, representing facial expressions using ASCII 8^| ), maybe we can
collect ASCII SOUND, too, and collect 'em here.

The first two entrants should be the official bellylaugh and a good
wet raspberry.

	Jim, don't you remember the commercial with the owl sitting up on the
tree branch and the kids come by to find out how many licks it takes to get to
the center of a tootsie pop? The owl licks one, two, three, CRUNCH.

I like <smaq> - don't know who invented it.

I've been wondering - how would one represent the "rolling of ones eyes in
incredulity at the incredible stupidity/naivette/obnoxiousness/etc of certain
remarks"?
623.17BUSY::SLABOUNTYDogbert's New Ruling Class: 65KFri Dec 15 1995 20:275

    	It works better if you hit "hold screen", hit <RETURN> 8 times,
    	and then let up the "hold screen".

    PS -- re AGAGAGAGAGAG, No matter how much it's SPOZED to look like
    laffter, there's always the few miliseconds for me whe I think that
    Ladye Di is gagging.  Said interval has shrunk over the years, but I
    fear will asymptote at 197.  I 'umbly ask 'er pardon for this lapse.
