Buzz Phrase Generator

This is a reasonably simple piece of code to generate a random hitec phrase. Its something I made just for the practice, but has a nice demonstration of switches and random number generation. Also now generates a logfile and reports on the size of that logfile. (I plan to infect Bill Gates PC with this a sa virus and make it pop up random phrases every 7.65 minutes. MWA HA HA HA HA!!!!)
