Kelly, to use the banner command, type a line of text, like this:

     banner "pull my" "finger"

Then hit your return key.  Unix will throw this at you:

 #    #  #    #  #       #               ##  ##    # #
 #    #  #    #  #       #               # ## #     #
 #####   #    #  #       #               #    #     #
 #       #    #  #       #               #    #     #
 #        ####   ######  ######          #    #     #

 #          #    #   ##  #    #  #       #   #
 #          #    #    #   ####   ######  #    #

     Yes, Unix is truly amazing.
