gophersay is a tiny command-line tool written in Go that displays a cute ASCII art of the go gopher along with a customizable message.
It takes any text as input and displays the message inside a speech bubble.
Inspired by the classic cowsay

./gophersay "Six by nine. Forty two." "That's all there is."
This will display the following output:

| Six by nine. Forty two. |
| That's all there is. |
