🐟 fish_say - A fish_logo / cowsay mashup

This plugin adds a function to make the fish-shell ASCII-art logo speak! It's completely ridiculous and unnecessary, but was a fun project for learning to write code for fish. I've used bash and zsh for a few decades, but have only been using fish for a few weeks, so I'm sure there's much in this code that should be improved.

🙏 Credits & Inspiration

• 🐠 fish_logo: original inspiration and I stole the fish graphic from here as well.
• 🐮 cowsay: The fortune command isn't nearly as much fun when it isn't piped through cowsay and lolcat.
• 🌈 lolcat: Rainbow goodness
