Actually my real name is Phillip.
"Mr. Peabody" was given to me as a nickname
in primary school as I was a little know-it-all...
(from "Mr. Peabody & the Way Back Machine")
... as time went on the 'Mr.' just got dropped...Back in my BBS visiting days, FIDONET was the go.
Numerous people knew my nickname but one person
called me a penguin when I said I liked the cold.
From then on I was known as "Peabody Penguin",
so, I used to sign-off with an ASCII pic of
"Peabody" in many guises....
Here are some I used; no colour text back then... _ _[_]_ (o o) /\/ V \/\ Peabody the Penguin says.... / ( ) \ \_/\___/\_/ `Just hanging loose.' _|| ||_ (__) (__) _ _ _[_]_ _[_]_ ( o)_ _ (o o) Peabody the Penguin / \ / \/ V \ ____( \_\_)____\_(_____)_____ Chats to his neighbour. | \___/ | | ||_ | | (__) | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _ ______ _[_]_ /_ | ( o)_ / * | / \ / | Peabody the Penguin.
