"bubble text" generating software?

[Pandamonium]

I just saw the next evolution of spamming.... the email didn't contain the string "hardcore" per se, but a human could read "hardcore" since it was done using blocktext.

I thought it looked pretty cool and want to use it on a website for emphasis and for my contact info. (I'll be damned if email sweeping bots get my address- right now I have form mail.)

Anyway, does anyone know of a title that does this? I want to be able to type something like "yes" and junk text like "asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf" and get:

a s dfa sdf
a s d f a
s dfa sdf
a s d
f asdf asd

Any ideas? I was thinking about writing something myself, but I can't figure out how to move the cursor to specific positions.

Edit: So the forums don't like my attempt at blocktext, but I think you get the general idea.

Google for ascii text generator and you'll find a bunch.

If you wanted to write it yourself the easiest way, I think, would be to lay it out in memory first, then print it out line by line using spaces.
