In the same vein as the lightbulb jokes, new college mascots. Moved here for your enjoyment.


From txtaximom:
Yes, we hear the toothpaste reference all the time down here in TX. (TX forgets there are other colleges besides UT and A & M) In fact, sometimes we sit around and think of alternative mascots to schools.

The Colgate Toothpastes
The Gettysburg Addressers
The F & M Radios
The Lehigh Doobies

play along anyone? We don't have anything else to do while we wait.

from Collegeparent:
Txtaximom, you should shift this to a separate heading -- when you do, you can add:

The Yale Locks
The Harvard Beets
The Penn Itentaries
The Carnegie Melons
The Lafayette Escadrills
The Brown Nosers
The Chicago Fires
The Carleton Cigarettes

By Over30 (Over30) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 04:26 pm: Edit

I remember typewriters before you plugged them in.

By Ariesathena (Ariesathena) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 04:37 pm: Edit

I said that because I have a Smith-Corona that is about 60 years old!

Just for fun, ask your kids if they remember records (especially the younger kids).

Ursinus Infections would be great if it were pronounced that way, but it's with a short "i". So it's er-sin-us as opposed to er-sign-us --

But I loved it nevertheless --

And yes, our minds will be found at some point, but not now!

Keep 'em coming. How's this?
