Re: PM merchandise/icon design quest

Bumper stickers/Slogans:

PM encircled by an oval, ala the European country stickers.
XPW, Same as above.
A trollish silhouette, surrounded by a red circle with a slash.
Red circle/Slash: /.
"Real PH's don't let other PH's use MSA."
"Perl hackers use CGI;"
"Thou Shalt Use <CODE> tags"

Tchotchkes:

Little Buddha Antenna balls.
Plaster Buddha statues (not for use in Afghanistan).
Official PM hookas.
*Real* Coffee Mugs (e.g. 20 oz or better).
Erudil's Camel on coasters...perfect for those intra-cube flinging parties.
"Steins"
Anonymous Monk Silver Bullets...for use on those who really want them.
Action Figures (...oh, wait...)
And (of course) "PerlMonks: The Flame Thrower (It's a real hit with the kids...)"

Update: In reply to knobunc's reply below:

I'm aware of that, however, I'm thinking I'd rather any proceeds from the sale go to The Fearless Leader instead of CmdrTaco. Frankly, I like the Monastery better than Slashdot.

I want second the "Steins" idea. I'd love a pewter mug with a good japh on it. I'd be more interested in products that simply had some obscure perl code on them than pictures or witticisms. Eg, camel code is preferable to TMTOWTDI.	[reply]

Hmm, those who do a lot of CGI programming could purchase the "Lincoln" Stein then ... To make it a good in-joke, it would be a pewter stein in the shape of Abraham L.'s head (that's recognizable outside the US, isn't it? =) Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor	[reply]

You can already get the camel over at . While I am not opposed to the PM stuff being the same, it is probably better to have distinct stuff. -ben	[reply]

Plastic/Plaster it's all the same, as long as it has a button, and every time you push it, to ask the buddha for wisdom, it spits out a quip of wisdome, one of which is post in SOPW %^). ___crazyinsomniac_______________________________________ `Disclaimer: Don't blame.
