# Could you do me a favour and stop using
that.
I have a feeling that you borrowed the original image out of my gif anyway.
I could make you a lovely pootle woo yay if you want one, without the Nazi overtones, and as I have another 30 or 40 frames I took out of the video and removed the background, I have better arm movements

Pootle's quite happy to be associated with the Flumps, it's the Nazis he's not happy about.
(I helped save b3ta! butchbint, Wed 11 Jun 2003, 17:19, archived)
# Be fair now
Pootle hasn't screamed at you for (possibly) using one of his gifs or associating the name he chose with fascists.

Instead, he's rather politely asked you if you could do something else and even offered help - the least you could do is consider his request.

# Everyone loves the ugly monkey
It's kind of funny that the proboscis monkey image is so popular on that faux "make an oreilly book" page. At least it is to me, since, well, I wrote the book that actually has that image on it. Now if only the popularity of the cover image would translate into actual sales of the book. :-)

See www.elanus.net/cgi/wiki.pl?TheUglyMonkey for more on the story behind the book's cover, if you have any interest whatsoever.
