RE: [alliance] mascot

[Matthew Bevan <mbevan@mars.ark.com>]

I've got an idea... this one's partially from my father...

	(picture: a doctor fish with it's spike)
	"We can be offensive and obtrucive when we want to."

Or an Octopus (it's tenticles, and they can change color too..)

Or a cuttlefish (they change color well...)

That's my IMO for the day...

Yeah... but then, how do you make an ant look cute ?  ;)

Mhmm.  Also sounds nice.  But we don't want anything looking menacing...
:)
We're not trying to menace any other OSes ;)

I like gerbils too.  I used to have two of them :)

Hell, I don't care, as long as its cute.  If anybody feels like
drawing mascots then they should do so :)
