My favorite critter to represent has always been the Lambasaurus Rex.
It might be risky to associate lisp with both a dinosaur, and an outdated interpretation of how that dinosaur looked in life
Indeed, the "Lisp is as old as the dinosaurs" is a real problem, and they really didn't stand that way.
What we need is something that connotes power, since Lisp is a powerful language, and we need something that really does stand that way. How about Godzilla?
Unforunately, not too many images of him are taken from the side; the best I found is:

and it doens't really solve the "dinosaur" problem. I'd still go for the "alien technology" guy. I won't send any more mail about this; it's too silly.

But the Alien is also very good with the plus that it's already done :-) http://www.lisperati.com/logo.html
