My Malcolm anecdote: In 2008 the Python users group in São Paulo watched Djangocon, streamed live to the local Google Office. I took and tweeted a few pictures of the screen, including this one of Malcolm: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rbp/2833593771/in/set-721576071... . I loved it, he just seemed like the quintessential geek :)

Later that day (IIRC), Cal Henderson gave his "Why I Hate Django" keynote, and at some point my picture showed up in a slide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Fr65PFqfk#t=53m10s

"Don't make Malcolm cry" :)
