1. Should a mascot be a person?

2. I nominate Jab’s Darwin Fish. Not that we’re all evolutionists, but because it’s so damn cute.

3. Where the hell is Jab? Did he leave? Did his library close?

Good call, folks. It’s off to IMHO.

Ain’t it obvious though? Our male mascot should be Omniscient and our female mascot should be TVeblen.

Yeah, lets have it be human.

I suppose we’ll need a male _and_ a female mascot.

Vote for whomever you like…

One vote per person.

Uh, if by “mascot” you mean a colorful person who most embodies the spirit of the board, I’d say we’ve already had one since it started up. To nominate mere posters for he title would be insulting.

Ooooh, ooooh! I get to be a mascot?! Dos that mean I get an SD coffee mug and/or kibble bowl? This is so exciting…

Wait a minute here. UncleBeer, care to explain the exact reasoning for this honor? Yeah, yeah, suspicious minds and all that.
