FIGlet

From Applepedia

FIGlet makes large ASCII art out of the supplied input. Great for spamming IRC channels (not like there was anything interesting going on in the first place). May not work if your client isn't great.

<%Char> wes butan to guru
< savetheclocktower> ascii art doesn't display correctly in conversation because it 
                     apparently omits any spaces that occur at the beginning of the line
< BonzoESC> this is why we use console clients
< Super_Mike> amazing sir
< munin> yes.
< savetheclocktower> BonzoESC: well, i suppose.  but i like PRETTY THINGS
< BonzoESC> well, I do look at irssi on a mac
< savetheclocktower> i don't like IRC in a terminal, and pretty much all other GUI clients 
                     suck more than conversation
<%Char> someone code mirc for mac thx in advance
                              

The truth is that America has behaved with enormous restraint since September 11.
