No Love for Faber

Whatch you talkin' about HFUU?





Since Faber's Cross Country Program folded in 1988 to give more money to the Mongols football program, I thought the Mongols could be an excellent mascot for our University. But NOOOOOOO! This could be the best mascot, but you're going to make it the worst!
I can't believe that such a hallowed (hollowed?) institution (see below): Can't even manage one scrawny vote! Heck, some of you (er, me) are voting for two (actually 4) mascots. You can't trow a Mongol a bone?

Shoot, the Blowfish even got two votes (only one of them mine!) The cute MUT got four (I don't think any of them mine.) And Joey Sixer is whizzing up the charts! Well, as the Witch in Monty Python and the Holy Grail said (well we did do the nose), "It's a fair cop!"

Hey AndyMan,
I like your blog very much. My buddy Dirk turned me on to it. Where do you ever get your ideas? Hey, you aren't the same guy that wrote that long, but good, article in my new Marathon & Beyond are you?

Dear JBOD,
Hey, is that article already out? Those turkies haven't even paid me yet! Of course, my buddy Chase would say that the whole thing is lies, so I prolly shouldn't be paid! Hey, I know I'm not supposed to ask, but who'd you vote for? And did you like the cartoon?

Not to mention, they (M&B) cut one of the best parts. :-)

Hey, I like your blog. Don't know how it got on my computer though. Isn't that cartoon from an old issue of Playboy Magazine?

Go Animals!

Dear Everyone,
Can't we all just get along? JBOD, you seem kinda cool, I mean you know Jon's old roommate Dirk, and, well, I never liked Dirk, regardless, you seem cool.

Herb, Great to hear from you again. Heck of a hiatus wouldn't you say (it's a real word, look it up genius!)? At any rate, better late than never.

Any way, yall cats chill.

I have no idea what that drawing of porucpines is ... is that a stop light? Basketball court? I'm not getting it ...

Hiatus: We were consumed by half of the protagonists of a popular Dik Browne cartoon.

The porcupine cartoon? From the Jackson Pollack collection reminiscent of a favorite existentialist fourth grade joke:

Q: How many existentialists does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: To get to the other side.

Mr. Matt said...

Chase,
The cartoon is an abstract. It's one Porcupine Leaping (I don't know that P'Pines do that) from a tree onto the back of a poor sad little P'Pine below. The great thing about the cartoon (well one of the many great things) is the look of absolute Joy on the leapers face. He is doing somethig that he loves, he only wishes he could slow time down and enjoy his pursuit for longer. He also realizes that it's the journey, and not just the P'Pine jumping that he loves. The P'Pine below represents the sad world (and if you'll look, she just walked by the stump of a tree, the cutting of the tree represents global warming.)

Of course as they say, sometimes a banana is just a banana. Then again, they also say, it's kind of like spelling banana, you never know when to quit. You know what I say, Don't Quit!
