I'm on a private irc server with a bunch of friends and coworkers.
This probably wouldn't be appreciated on a public irc server and would
probably get banned but we love it.  It pulls a random ascii art from
asciiartfarts.com

if you want the function it's in python using Twisted.  happy to share
if anybody wants useless garbage like this in their room.

[here is the bot](https://github.com/merxnet/pbot)  When I first
started writing python this bot was sort of my string
manipulation/mess with api's playground.  irc bots turn out to be
really fun ways to learn a language :-p

If your server has rate limiting for messaging, be sure to have the
following sjis art as a macro ready to ruin their combo:

on days with a touch of lag people definitely like to throw combo
breakers :-p it's on a droplet with only about 20 of us at any given
time though so usually its ok

Liked reading through the funtions LOL'd at flood friday.  I like that
you wrote the bot without using any sort of framework +1!

I do eventually want to write a framework since I have a few bots and
the code is all over the place.
