Dancing font is adorable, and I need someone to explain how to post ascii text in a Metafilter comment.

Cool! It's nice to see more dumb stuff on the web.

Hint: place your figlet between tt and /tt format commands, both enclosed in <> brackets...

Fun stuff. I used this (or a similar site) last year to make a login banner for our HPC cluster, with the cluster name in big ASCII art.

Got to get me to a big screen.
