Owl of Shame? (from prompt during stream)

Casey said something about whether the Owl should be the Owl of Shame or the Owl of Success. I say keep it the Owl of Shame because it always watches, and it always knows whos hoot.

If you want a success plushie, get a silverback gorilla of success; because then you can jump out of your chair and beat your chest and tell the world you are tough shit after finally fixing a problem you have been raging at for the last hour.
Jumping up, beating my chest, roaring like a gorilla is how I've always dealt with victory so it would be a pretty good idea.
Compelling points being made here, yes.

- Casey
Agree with the Owl of Shame staying shameful - I mean, just look at those eyes. Those are judgmental eyes. Those are eyes that say "you have failed me. You are unworthy."
+1 For the code monkey of epic programming success.

Also see this song by Jonathan Coulton (of "Still Alive" fame). With a World of Warcraft music video. It doesn't get nerdier than this.
