I was homeschooled in highschool. ::sigh::

And in university, because we utilized (with permission) the local Native American Indian tribe's name, we weren't allowed to have a mascot per se. Bad form and all, ya know?

We were the Chippewas, if you were interested. :)

That is wild!
Unfortunately it is what others view you as that should be the mascot you are and not what you take yourself as.

Many here would like to be god's mascot but that could be interesting as to who their god is?
Love & rgds

Huh. And I thought it would be the opposite, if we were going to go all philosophical: You should be the mascot you really are inside; who cares about everyone else's opinion? Of course, if you are being true to yourself, the two mascots would hopefully match up: the one you truly are, and the one people see.

Anyway, if I were to guess your mascot, I would think you are one of those giant sea turtles, riding the currents of consciousness, and coming to land only once and a while to deposite your eggs of wisdom. :D

Friend Favlun,

Yes, am wrong about what a mascot is;
Just checked wiki, which states the following:
The word mascot has been traced back to a dialectic use in Provence and Gascony, where it was used to describe anything which brought luck to a household[3]. The suggestion that the word is derived from masqu (meaning masked or concealed), the Provincial French for a child born with a caul, in allusion to the lucky destiny of such children, is improbable.
The word was first popularized in 1880, when French composer Edmond Audran wrote a popular comic operetta titled La Mascotte. However, it had been in use in France long before this, as French slang among gamblers, derived from the Occitan word masco, meaning witch (perhaps from Portuguese mascotto, meaning witchcraft), and also mascoto, meaning spell.
Audran's operetta was so popular that it was translated into English as The Mascot, introducing into the English language a word for any animal, person, or object that brings good luck. The word with this definition was then incorporated into many other languages, although often in the French form mascotte.

Placing the word *Mascot* in its right perspective; lets all ask ourselves as to what should be the mascot of RF?
Any suggestions?
Would appreciate if Rex and all our staff at RF develops a *mascot*; any one seconding the motion / suggestion?
Love & rgds
