Sheesh - its been a while (my 8600 running system 9) since I messed 
with speech, but its *really* easy to do that sort of thing, assuming 
the speakable items folder in OS X works the same way as in OS 9. You 
just  put a link or an Applescript of what you want to do into the 
speakable items folder, and name it the command you want to say.  So 
you'd just create an applescript to say "Good Morning Jim", name it 
"Good Morning Ladybug" and put it in the speakable items folder.

I wanted to set up some things like that so I could yell at the 
computer from across the room some convenience things like "mute", go 
to sleep, play some music, etc.  But I don't have a microphone right 
now, so no speech experiments.
