Animaniacs Code v2.2

---------------------------------------------------
Are you an Animaniacs fan? Well, tell the world! Presented herein
is the Animaniacs Code. Simply add this convenient code to your sig
file, and all the net will know the truth of your love for the Warners
and their wacky friends. At cons, add it to your badge! Tattoo it on
your forehead! A million uses! The Animaniacs Code is a simple,
powerful, and, hopefully, _silly_ tool for fan communication.


=====Revision History

1.1 to 2.0: In addition to a variety of new codes and modifiers, the
version indicator has been simplified, the "I" modifier has been changed
to "i", some character codes have been changed to conform to the new,
expanded system, the implementation of the "D" code has been amplified,
the "OT" code has been obseleted, and extra spiffiness has been added.

2.0 to 2.1: More "body-part" modifiers have been added to the
Characters section, and a few new characters have been added. The "P"
code has been expanded to allow better differentiation. New "D"
sub-codes have been added. The "ownership" codes have been added to
"$". The "IV", "Pon", and "X" codes are new to this version. The "h"
sub-modifer to the "E" code, and the "H" code are new. The "E" code may
also now be used to indicate favorite shorts. The gender codes now fit
the design philosophy better. There have also been some minor formatting
and "humor"-oriented changes.

2.1 to 2.2: Several new characters have been added, as has the "r"
modifier. An IRC code has been added and the "D", "$", and "V" codes have
had their modifiers changed slightly. The "Pon" and "X" codes have been
updated to include the new season. The "h" modifier is no longer allowed
for the "E" code, to avoid confusion where the new hour-long episodes are
involved.


=====Format

To distinguish our code from other, lesser codes, the code is always
preceded by the identifier "A!", and the version indicator "JW22". These are
_not_ optional! Follow this with codes from the categories below. You do
not have to include every code; only those you think significant. In cases
where degrees are indicated, feel free to expand the code in either
direction as you see fit. The use of more than ten "+"s or "-"s, however,
is regarded as extreme hyperbole, and is a sign one should not be taken
seriously. Whitespace between the codes is recommended but not required;
"YK++ WK++" and "YK++WK++" are equally acceptable. (All codes begin with
capital letters (except "$"), and none _have_ to end with one, so this
doesn't affect content.) Case is important! As yet there is little
possibility of confusion if you use "dt++" instead of the correct "DT++",
but we are attempting to maintain forward compatibility.


=====Modifiers

The following modifiers may be applied to the codes. Most of them
indicate a degree of indecision.

/ Used when two different values apply. For example, "MM---^/++!".
> Indicates a range of feelings. "RI->++"
~ Indicates waffling and indecision. "MI~"
? Used to denote true bafflement. "CB?"
{} Use curly brackets around a rating you hope to attain. "P0{++}"
[] Use square brackets around a rating that once applied. "Dp[s]"


=====Characters We Love

You are not obliged to include a code for _every_ character; just
the ones you want us to know about. For characters in groups, there is
one code for the group (three letters long), and codes for the individual
characters as well (two letters). Use of _both_ ("P&B++ PI+++ BR+") is
not recommended, but it's your choice. The ratings are as follows:

XX--- I throw anvils at the TV when this character is on.
XX-- I turn off the TV when this character is on.
XX- I'd rather this character wasn't on so often.
XX or XX0 No feelings; ho-hum.
XX+ I'm fond of this character.
XX++ I love this character!
XX+++ I have written mash notes to this character; I have a tattoo.

You may modify this rating by appending one of the following:

i I see elements of myself in the character.
r This character is my role-model.
! I feel this way about the character's body.
^ " " " " " " " mind.
" " " " " " " " ears.
' " " " " " " " tail.
: " " " " " " " eyes.

Examples: "SL-!/+++^" means, "Slappy's kind of dumpy, but the way she
thinks makes me weak in the knees."

$+++ $101 - $1,000
$++++ $1,001 - $10,000
$+++++ ...and so on (eek!).

You may append a "d" if you all the CDs, an "m" if you own all of the
McDonalds toys, a "v" if you own all of the videos, an "r" if you own all
the Sunmaid Raisin stickers, an "a" if you own more than 10 articles of
Animaniacs apparel ("aa" for more than 100, "aaa" for more than 1000 (eek
and a half!)), a "p" for a statuette or plate, an "l" if you own a limited
edition cel, and/or a "c" if you own a production cel. Example: "$+++dvc".

r Rob Paulsen
j Jess Harnell
t Tress MacNeille
m Maurice LaMarche
f Frank Welker
s Sherri Stoner
b Bernadette Peters

Indicate others with their names. Add a "+" for each autograph,
voice recording, picture taken _with both you and the artist in the
picture_, or anything else that would stand up in court. "Vj+r+"


Animania IV (IV!)

Anyone who participated in the extravaganza that was Animania IV may
put "IV!" in their code. For other Animanias, see the "D" code, above.


Animaniacs Fan Purity Test Score (T)
Most recent version, please. You may list either your raw score or
your ranking. For example, "T160" or "TPinky". If you wish to use both,
use the "/" modifier. Normal mixed case is recommended for ranking-type
codes.


=====Favorites

Indicated with an E and the episode number. For example, "E65" or
"EH3" for an hour-long episode. To indicate a favorite _short_ use "a",
"b", "c", et cetera, where the letter represents the short's position in the
episode (only shorts with title-cards count). For example, "E1a" means
"De-Zanitized" is your fave. The anal may indicate their second favorite
with "Ee", third with "Eee", et cetera.


Episode That Got You Hooked (H)

Indicated as above, but with an "H". "H33"

a hose at this hour?

mean, what would the children look like?
