Anyone out there have any pictures of cheesy '70s types in flashy
outfits dancing clumsily to a disco beat? Saturday Night Fever
pretty much sums up what I'm looking for. The cheesier the better.
Many thanks,

They look best in the font that my Eudora program uses, where the lowercase "L" has a curvature at the bottom, and the only letter with serrifs is the capital "i". They don't look as good in the standard font used by Telnet, or in Courier. Here's some West Coast Swing ASCII-art I designed: good for all kinds of uses, like FAQ's, WWW Dance Pages, Dancers' Archives, annoyingly long .sig's, etc. .,,-~&, ,~"~. { /`,__\`. > :::: { `}'~.~/\ \ <, ?::; {`}'\._/ ) } l_ f ,__/ l_,'`/ ,__}--{_. { `.__.'
