old-timey belief has it that knocking on wood brings good luck, or wards off evil. As an spoken or written expression, it is meant to convey a hope that whatever good thing is occuring will continue to occur after being pointed out.
I'm not really sure what Colin's getting at there, though I would guess it has something to do with it wanting no research to show up that would back up the crazy. |

Originally posted by Alastor Sorry. XD You have a point, though. I honestly thought this topic was only a few days old (as I had first seen it just about 2 or 3 days before I posted in it. XD). By the way, don't get mad at me for this, but what exactly does the phrase "knock on wood" mean? |

You didn't have to quote it before I edited the typo out |

Originally posted by Alastor XD You got me there. No, I wouldn't jump off a cliff if everyone else did. I'd stand there in shock, because that would be a very stupid thing those people did. O_o <- Like that. |

Everyone else was doing it in a more timely fashion and with more important, and less obvious points. You came in almost a week after discussion had started. It doesn't count.
Theere's also the point of, if everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you? |

THAT ARTICAL IS NOTHING BUT A LIE.
Thank you, Captain Obvious! (...well, it PROBABLY is. Knock on wood.) |

Who's Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman? I've never heard of him before...
Oh, just for the record, I'll just say this: THAT ARTICAL IS NOTHING BUT A LIE. Well, sure, there may be SOME truth in it, but the lies FAR outweigh the truth. And I'm sure we all know that people have a choice between being gay and not being gay. ...Though I'm sure the gay people have irresistable urges to be gay... And you know, this brings up another, related question: DOES THIS HAVE ANY RELATION TO PEOPLE FEELING LIKE THEY'RE THE OPPOSITE GENDER? You know, there are men who feel like they're females trapped in a male body, so they'll have special surgery to make themselves look like the opposite gender. I wonder what causes that? Could it be these hormones you guys all speaking so much about? If so... MAYBE THE ARTICLE ISN'T A BIG FAT LIE... *dies* |

And you have missed the entire point of the text you were quote/editing. |

Yes, I am lazy. But that's not the point.
This Shift_JIS ASCII art of Kikkoman is the very source of Kikkoman. Everything else is derivative of it. As any true nerd knows, the original version is (almost) always superior to any edits, remakes, or alternate versions. Usually sequels and prequels as well. Also I'm lazy. |

Yeah. Hell, give a GameFAQs ASCII Artist a day or two, and he can make a better looking ASCII of Kikkoman in Arial. In fact, I have such an ASCII for you right here. So there!
(P.S. Best viewed in a bright scheme such as wtfweb's bright, or even something like Icy Blue; if you cannot view this ASCII or cannot see it well, switch to a different scheme to view it better, as I am too lazy to learn how to put it into a table for improved viewing, and it just looks horrible in white) .............................................................,,,----~~~~---,,, ........................................................|'¯¯,,. . . .|| . . . ,, . ¯''~---,, ........................................................|. . .|| . . . ||. . . .||. . . .|\. . .¯''--,, ........................................................|_,,-|l---~~''~~~-'''---,,,_|||........|\..¯',.......................,--, ..................................................,--~''......,,........................¯'''~~,,|||......\...............,--''¯.....\, .............................................,--''...............¯''').......''~-,..................¯''~-,..\........,-~'....,,........'\ .........................................,-''...................-~,_.......--,',.......''~-,.......,_....'~~~''¯....,-|||||l'..........| ....................................,~'..............................)..........).......,-',.......,,)'..............,lllll''............./ .....................______,~'..........,-~''''~-,.........,-~,.......-~'-,...........).........)............................,-' ...............,-''¯;;;;;;;;|....|...........|'.,'¯¯',..'|.............)..........,)......-~'........''¯.............-lll|||||||||-.../' ................'-,,;;;;;;;;|....|...........'-,.'-,,-'.,-'..........,-'..........''.........................................'''''''''''...| ..................¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\,...........'~~~'............................................................................\, ....................................'-,.............................O.................O.......................,.....\||||,,........\, ........................................'-,...............................\____/..................,--~~''¯¯..'-,....''''llllll.......| ...........................................''-,,............................\;;;;/....................|................'~-,.........../ ................................................''-,_........................\,/..................../......................'-,.....,-' .....................................................¯''~--___............................,--''¯....MWG...............'~' ................................................................|.......................|'''¯ .............................................................../........................| ............................................................,-'..........................'-, .................................,,---------,------------''¯................................\,,----~~~~-~''¯¯¯'''~~--, ...........................,--''¯....;;;;;;;..¯'''~--,,......................,...................,,-~''¯....;;;;;;;;;;......¯''-,__ ...............,,--~''''¯¯..'~-,,........;;;;;;;.......''~~--,,____,--'''..'''--,__,,,---'''¯......;;;;;;;;;;............,,-''......¯''--, .........../''¯....................'''---,,_........;;;;;;;;---.._,,----|..........|,,__.............................,--''¯..................\ ........,'..................................''~--,,___,,,--~''........'-,......,-'......¯¯''---,,,,,----------''''¯¯...........................\, ....../'...................................................................¯'-'¯..................................................................\ ..../'.........................................................................,-,...................................................................\ ../............................\.......................................,,--'''¯...¯'''--,,..............................|...............................| |

It's easy to find a suitable font. Would be a crime if it were adjusted? More like you're too lazy to even try =/ |

Also hang themselves. |

Okay, riiiight. Well, still no proof on Soy making people homosexual, however Kikkoman clearly makes people crazy |
JDavis Posts: 582/648 |
Indeed, but Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman is from Japan (via the planet of Soy, of course) and it would be a crime to try to adjust his ascii art to fit a Western standard. |
Tarale Posts: 2494/2713 |
We're not in Japan |
JDavis Posts: 581/648 |
It's a default Windows font.... in Japan.
And the default font for all webpages.... in Japan. Which is why it's become the standard font for Japanese Ascii art. |
