Faber College's mascot is the Wild Greek; it's based on madcap dropout John Blutarsky...."drunk" guy who wears a toga and smashes folksinger's guitars, says such Blutarskyisms as "What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!" and "Christ. Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the fucking Peace Corps." and "My advice to you is to start drinking heavily." Due to a suit by Kings Features Syndicate, they can't call him "Bluto", but that doesn't stop the local T-shirt makers.
I have liked the mascots just b/c I think it's hilarious to post them when no one else is posting. I support Terry P's efforts to remind us that WE provide content to the blog and he shouldn't have to waste his time doing more than the minimum to provide the forum for us.
I knew a fake one would come along...good chuckle.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good chuckle, and nice seeing you here again, ELS.

ReplyDeleteOh, dear. I didn't get the joke until the comments above "explained" it.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is the first mascot I kinda liked (well, the artichoke was pretty cool, too. I guess I like quirky).
