History of a human form... In alt.fan.warlord, someone reposted this .sig after an ad for an obscene 900 phone-sex number: > ,-,__, > { / ,__\ <h0t...@aol.com> > { `}'-_-/ > {`}'\ _/ > __/Y/__ > / \ \ > / /\ o } o} \ > / / \`~' ` } } > { { } l/ / > \ \ j .] / > \ \/ }/ > \{ \ /} > { Y l > 1 \l > \ \ > 1, \ > l\ \ > l } } > 1/ / > { / > / /| > / / ~-_, > (, \-~`'~ > \ \_, > `'~ I thought it was about the right size for a project I wanted to to, so as visions of Meriday danced in my head I restyled this mini-net-goddess as follows: .,,-~&, { / ,__\`. { `}'-_-/\ \ {`}'\__/ ) } __/ l_,' / / ~ ~ f / ^ o } o} / / \`-'`-' { ( } { `.`. j { `,`-, . l f^' \ /} t Y } Y \l \ \ `. \ !`, \ l / } l/ / / ,' / /! / ,' l (. \l. `_. \ \_`~~' `'' Then, on to the final goal: My dance club could use a personalized ascii graphic (hey - couldn't everyone?), so on went some (admittedly tight!) clothes, in went a partner, and Voila' A couple going into step 1 of a West Coast Swing figure! .,,-~&, ,~"~. { / ,__\`. > :::: { `}'-_-/\ \ <, @::; {`}'\__/ ) } l_ f ,__/ l_,'`/ ,__}--{_. { `.__.'

I would really appreciate it if someone who is handy with block letters could write "Dancing Illini" and then on a separate copy of the last picture, in block letters "Dancers' Archive", each in a way that would fit and look nice. Any takers? (improvements to the figures would be appreciated too!) Mark
Here is version 2 of the Swing dancers with a few details fixed (hands,
his arm, her feet...).

Long live West Coast Swing!
I would still really appreciate it if someone
who is handy with ascii fonts could write "Dancing Illini" and then
on a separate copy of the last picture, "Dancers' Archive",
each in a way that would fit in the white space to their right.
(improvements to the figures would be appreciated too!)
