Prompt changing on the fly

Does anyone out there have a shell script / program to change
the prompt DYNAMICALLY after each [CR]?

I would like to choose a random prompt from a large file, and
I would like the flexibility to add: node, directory, etc. to
the generated prompt.

I would prefer NOT to write a new shell.

Ideas?
