Monkey, still.
Though I don't have anything personal against dragons, they don't seem to particularly...characterise YWS. Not a fit.
Monkey.
Or an owl, I suppose - but monkey looks as if it has a better chance of making it in the poll.

Chuck Norris would just squeeze our heads in between his thighs and take control of everything.
Come on, clearly it should be a monkey. Its like, the symbol of YWS!
Either that or Bob Saget.

And besides, hes too busy protecting the Texas border.
Are we actually going to have a mascot someday, Nate, or was this just a poll to pass the time?

| Okay, I voted for monkey, but it has to be a chimp. What's with the dragon, anyway? A dragon can't read or write. Well, neither can a monkey, but that's beside the point. All a dragon has to do is sigh and there goes the next bestseller!

| I would like a mascot, but it's not a priority right now. I researched it back in May, and would like to offer a stuff animal version of the mascot in the YWS store, which actually probably won't reopen anyhow. In looking for a stuffed animal, a customized monkey was hard to find and a dragon was nonexistent. So purely because of supply and demand in the overall international market, the mascot would be a monkey.

| You guys are all crazy. Obviously it should be a gyrfalcon.
