Subject: Urgent matter: Mascot Dilemma

I think we have an important issue to resolve regarding our love of Xavier Basketball and our stated hatred of all things French (fries being the exception). Having D'Artagnan as our mascot puts us in a seemingly difficult predicament to the extent that we are are forced to hate ourselves. Realizing how important strong self esteem is to all of us, I think we are in urgent need of a new mascot. While the Blue Blob may fill this void for you, for me it simply muddies the waters. I think we should change our mascot from D'Artagnan to something less offensive, such as Chief Wahoo. We need to develop a consistent approach regarding this matter.

[> Maybe we could just augment the Blue Blob a little bit and name our new mascot the "huge fat chick with a stanky cooter" and create a costume to accurately reflect many Xavier chicks. Then we would be known as the "home of the Huge Fat Chicks with Stanky Cooters". Since when did a bunch of Defenders of the French king run around campus? Never, but fat, stanky chicks are omnipresent. -- Homeskillet, 11:43:09 05/10/02 Fri

[> I am all for Cheif Wahoo. We could promote it by having a casion night with free drinks for everyone. -- Sniper, 11:55:42 05/10/02 Fri

[> These are good ideas. I always thought our mascot looked too much like the middle Pep Boy anyway. Maybe a mascot that resembled our friend Chief Couch is in order. Since this is still at the planning stage I think any idea is a good one. -- XU Fan, 12:48:31 05/10/02 Fri

[> Does anyone else think the Blue Blob looks like a nut sack? All big and hairy and blue? That reminds me, I need to see my doctor. -- BP, 13:33:26 05/10/02 Fri

[> [> [> [> [> Not stalking, merely giving you the praise you have earned through your dedication and unmatched history of stellar posts. Some people like Dickens, some Tolstoy. I like the muskieman, and you clearly belong in the company of such literary giants. -- Homeskillet, 15:14:07 05/10/02 Fri

[> [> [> [> [> [> I had posted in a thread below the my short list of amazing human feats includes the Great Wall of China, putting men on the moon, and Muskieman's thread on the MM board that a lot of people viewed. This is in line with Skillet's admiration. -- XU Fan, 15:30:51 05/10/02 Fri

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Maybe we should start a whole new board dedicated to the muskieman. There he can greet us with a daily update on all things Xavier, and we can bask in the warm glow of his wisdom. I no longer have any patience for anything less than a post from muskieman or those who praise him. -- Homeskillet, 16:25:36 05/10/02 Fri

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Skillet, while at Xavier last night I got to see where X torn down the building close to the dorms. Nice open space and makes the New G. Center stand out. For all your Chief Couch lovers, I had a chance to talk with him. While semi affable to a old time grad, I can see that he could be hell if you are trying to have a little fun. I guess I better warn my son about him. -- muskieman, 13:15:05 05/11/02 Sat

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Warn your son about his sexual deviance too. Muskieman, would you be opposed to me starting a fundraiser to erect a statue in your honor in front of the Cintas? Your son should also tell chicks that you are his dad so he can be the most popular guy on campus. -- Homeskillet, 12:03:48 05/13/02 Mon

I have studied fund raising spending from the Jessie Jackson school and will use the same strict accounting that he does in all his extortion.....? mean fund raise functions. -- muskieman, 18:49:09 05/13/02 Mon

[> I am excited about the possibility of becoming the main mascot of Xavier. I always wanted to be #1, D'Artagnan sucks. I use to mess up that little bitch in the mascot locker room. Also, the whole idea about stanky cooter is bad. I cannot get that smell off me from last weekends love affair with a huskir muskie. BP, you try having blue balls 24-7. It ain't glamorous. -- The Blue Blob, 12:24:10 05/13/02 Mon
