Sure. Not sure what you're after, but first of all, it's in my and frankly
everyone's best interest to keep the web weird and make it weirder if at all
possible. So here goes:



  , ; ,   .-'"""'-.   , ; ,
  \\|/  .'         '.  \|//
   \-;-/   ()   ()   \-;-/
   // ;               ; \\
  //__; :.         .; ;__\\
 `-----\'.'-.....-'.'/-----'
        '.'.-.-,_.'.'
jgs       '(  (..-'
            '-'
