Something a little different: the Django pony in plush form!

Here's the basic story: When developers ask for features in new releases, they're called "ponies" - as in, if you're wishing for such-and-such, you might as well wish for a pony, too (in reference to a Calvin & Hobbes strip) and complaints about not getting what they want result in getting a meme of a crying child with "No, you can't have a pony" text. A speaker mentioned that the web development framework Django needed a magical pony as a mascot, someone chose that little pegasus clip art, and the rest is history. Basically it's a very nerdy in-joke that got out of hand.

This was a gift for my One-and-Only.
