zakzebrowski has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any appropriate gifs, or avis that would show a cup of Java (coffee) being pushed over by a huge perl (basketball or similar)? I'm going to be doing a presentation (in a semi pro Java / other language environment and I would just like to start off with a laugh.) :)
Thanks

Maybe you should try seeking a camel doing unkind things to the coffee, rather than a pea?rl. Should be easier to knock something up yourself, too, if you don't find anything that already exists.

i think it'd be cool to see a personified camel attacking a cup of joe with a chainsaw labeled 'Perl', and angled in such a way that you can see that it's wearing a camel code T-shirt.
But maybe i'm just a little bit biased. (: --

Well if this is going to degrade into a, "cool logo suggestion" thread, I wouldn't mind seeing a camel with a picture of a coffee cup strapped to it.
Please note if you create this logo that O'Reilly does have a trademark on the use of images of camels as symbols of Perl, and you should follow their guidelines. (Which are fairly generous as these kinds of things go.) | [reply] |

Cool, I like that suggestion... While I strongly agree with some of the above suggestions, I need to be carefull not to offend the 'upper management' that will be at the meeting... I might have to open up an image editor and have some fun. :) I'll share the results when I get something worth while...

And like that... there was light! image It sufficently covers how I feel about the subject... (from the perl journal no less) :)

Hah, a title guaranteed to get people reading.
Shame the content was an early christmas list.
Have you thought of using Google?
It searches images you know. The Perhaps try GIMP to put to pictures together, this may involve some effort..
