It is unfortunate, but I look a lot better in ASCII! I just downloaded this cool (and open source!) app called ascgen2. You can download it here: http://ascgendotnet.jmsoftware.co.uk/

What this does is converts a digital image into text using only the ascii character set. The ascii characters are only about 128 printable characters including capital and lowercase letters, numbers, special characters like the pound, asterisk, ampersand and the space character.

With this application, you can change some variables such as brightness etc. Download it….if you are a geek like me.

Have fun!

…or how to tell a joke like a 4 year old.

After telling my daughter her favorite  Knock Knock joke for the billionth time:

Knock knock
Who’s there?
An interrupting cow
An interrupting c…..
MOOOOOOOOO!

…my daughter decided to share some of her own with me. Here is just a representative, and completely true, sample of what she said:

Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Honey cookie
Honey cookie, who?
HONEY!
(now fall down laughing…she did)

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Eyeball
Eyeball who?
Eyeball will you put yourself in your ear and then eat it after you are done putting it in your ear?
(now fall down laughing…she did)

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
I been.
I been who?
I been working on the railroad all the livelong pizza…
(it was supposed to be Ivan. It was supposed to be “day” and not pizza. Now fall on the floor laughing…she did)

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Puppy
Puppy who?
Puppy, will you be Santa because you are going inside my eye. I been working on the railroad…
(now fall down laughing…she did)

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Skeleton
Skeleton who?
Skeleton, will you pull down your pants please so we can see your butt crack?
(now fall down laughing…she did)

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
OK, knock knock, will you pull down your underwear on your oranges?
(combining different knock knock jokes into one is her specialty..now fall down laughing…she did)

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Pajamas
Pajamas who?
Pajamas, will you pull down your underwear so we can see your butt crack?
(now fall down laughing…she did)

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Elf
Elf who?
Elf! Will you take off your presents please and pull down your underwear so we can see your freaky underwear?
(now fall down laughing…she did)

This went on with variations on a theme. But essentially, they all included her looking around the kitchen, finding an object, making a knock knock joke about it in her head and then throwing the words butt crack into the punchline. Good times!
