Thanks for the hint.
Modified to give me a fortune cookie upon login.
You'll need to install the fortune package from Darwin ports.

set output to do shell script "/opt/local/bin/fortune"

tell application "Finder"
display dialog output buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with title "Fortune Cookie"
end tell
