Grant, don't apologize. Interesting news, eh? Cool to see maybe Trump Tower renamed "Mandolin Cafe tower"......

If there was a Trump inspired Mando would the scroll wrap around behind the neck to cover the point?http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif A scroll over....

No worries, I teach a bit of IT, so I'm all used to creating these http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
I can't post to the section you mentionned, it's for the Admins of the board only... I'm waiting for one of them to notice http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif !!!

I didn't know Trump Mandoed!
.
I would suspect he'd be playing a 'snake head' 'A' model.
.
vis. the previous group of apprentices began calling Trump's inverted, cupped hand, which he pointed and jabbed toward the latest booted apprentice, # The Cobra

Grandmainger:
I've been trying to figure out the significance of:
"oO©º°¨¨°º©Oo"
and am stumped. # My first thought was the end view of mando strangs, but there are too many of them, unless it's a pair. #
Then, they kinda look like a cluster of Ovation guitar holes. #Does Ovation make a similarly perforated Mando? #
If I squint I think I'm seeing a squished 'Kilroy'.
What is it? "oO©º°¨¨°º©Oo"

Tommy, don't try too hard. It's nothing more than ASCII (translate IT-geek) Art. Like text decoration. Here are some examples:

¯`·.¸¸.-> <-.¸¸.·´¯
(¯`·._(¯`·._( )_.·´¯)_.·´¯)

Type in ASCII Art in google... you'll realise the extent of the geekiness http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

So would would it look like in EBCDIC? I'll just think of it as Bear Claw.

I like Eagles!
It looks like half-a-cat to me... #With it's fur up... #Ya know, hissing like they do...
