If you’ve ever wondered what’s in my purse, today is your lucky day (or even if you haven’t and still want to indulge your inner lurker)! You can find out over at Post Grad Haircut. She’s doing an “In my bag” series with guest bloggers and I’m up today, so check over there!
ALSO….Krysten from After I do just started a blog called The Wife Diaries that I will be contributing to. It’s all about marriage and other related things. I just did my first post today, so feel free to go check it out (here) if you’d like.
OK…just know that today’s post has nothing to do with anything. So…now that we’ve cleared that up…here you go…
Complete Randomness:
“Hillarious College Mascot Edition”
Don’t ask me why I google these things. I just do.
Wichita State University “Wushocks”
What the heck is a wushock? Pretty sure this is a giant bundle of wheat. At least it’s a fierce looking bundle of wheat.
UC Santa Cruz’s “Sammy the Banana Slug”
So funny, but so awesome. Sammy is my favorite!
Scottsdale CC’s “Artie the Fighting Artichoke”
Ummmm….What?
University of Arkansas’ “Boll Weevil”
What the heck is a boll weevil?
Dartmouth College’s “Keggy the Keg”
Really? Really???
North Carolina School of the Arts “Fighting Pickle”
This pickle does not make me fear a beat down. Just sayin’.
Stanford’s “Cardinal”
Hands down, ugliest mascot in all of college sports. And what the heck does a Christmas tree have to do with a Cardinal? Am I the only one not getting the connection?
AND….My most favorite mascot EVER:
Evergreen State College’s “Speedy the Geoduck”
Even better than the school’s mascot is the fight song:
The Geoduck Fight Song
words and music by Malcolm Stilson, 1971
Go, Geoducks go,
Through the mud and the sand,
let’s go.
Siphon high, squirt it out,
swivel all about,
let it all hang out.
Through the mud and the sand,
let’s go.
Siphon high, squirt it out,
swivel all about,
let it all hang out.
Go, Geoducks go,
Stretch your necks when the tide
is low
Siphon high, squirt it out,

let it all hang out.

As if your mascot wasn’t already phallic enough, you had to write this fight song? Oh…and if you’re not sure what a geoduck is….go look here. Weirdest things ever.
OK…there you go. Hope you enjoyed a little shot of randomness in your day!

The Keggy Keg is too much – at least Dartmouth isn’t hiding what they like to do for fun:)
Wow. I don’t even know what to say. I like Keggy the Keg though. Just because. Wow.
Oh my word, they’re hilarious! We don’t get many mascots here in the UK which is such a shame, especially as the funny factor is just so high!
well that is definitely random! I live by the ocean, clammers are everywhere here digging up clams, but that geoduck is kinda scary…
Hahahaha this is my favorite post ever. Geoduck? Really? I think the wheat (or whatever that is) is my favorite- he’s got his game face on lol
very random indeed!! And geoduck WEIRD!!!
oh wow! that just made me laugh so hard! our college mascot was the laker, a sailor (think HUGE head), who used to have a large pipe hanging from his lips. Now that smoking is no longer P.C., he just dances around like a bobble head.
i dont like sports but i like you and just wanted to say yay for chat time today!
im fixing to go do keely’s hair! im excited!
and your a teacher? i thought librarian. i didnt know it was at a school? can you blog there? or fb there?

this post was the best one yet. i was laughing my A$$ off.
hahaha! this cracked me up! and WTF is up with that fight song! oh my gosh i was almost crying as reading it! hahahaha, so crazy awesome. this was hilarious. i do not get why people come up with some of those mascots. haha, we have a high school here, and their mascots is a pioneer. Yes. the Lehi Pioneers. and the mascot is seriously i freaking pioneer. OooooOo watch out! the Pioneers are gonna kick your trash! i am so scared of them! no offense to our ancestors, but seriously. not intimidating. at. all. oh and the colors are purple.
Oh man. I watched that Geoduck video and almost threw up! Good thing I haven’t eaten yet. That thing is soo weird! Makes me never want to eat one. This year at the Standford game was the first time I really noticed their mascot. Race and I were appalled when at hald time the guy just took it off and sat down next to it! Benny would never do that. Benny is awesome though and has nothing to be ashamed of or take off! Have a great day Lauren!!
stanford’s color is “cardinal” as in cardinal red (not the bird). its mascot is the tree. hope that cleared it up for you!
check out my blog at awholelottaloving.blogspot.com
love that you made fun of stanford. I was a California Golden Bear and we HATE them. so I’m so glad you put them on here 🙂
xo
hahahha… omg.. i cant beleive that a geoduck exists and looks like that, let alone that its a legit school mascot. smh.
Speedy the geoduck?! That can’t be real. No, not getting the cardinal christmas tree connection. I mean, maybe they are trying to be a red wood tree and all they could find was a christmas tree outfit? But if there is a geoduck then the sky is the limit…no excuses Standford!
oh my gosh. hilarious!!
I wonder how much they pay the people in these costumes haha…
Lauren, this really made my day. I’m happy you’re also wasting time google complete pointless things 🙂
Haha, that is something I would do.
Wow! Those are crazy. “Keggy the Keg” is hilarious!
Thanks for your nice comment on my blog. I’m so glad you commented so I could discover your cute blog!
Awesome randomness, I love it. Keggy the Keg is on point! Loved your “In the Bag” feature, very cute!
My favorite is the fighting pickle! I would go to that school just to have that as my mascot! Pickles are waaaaaay too delicious!
haha love them! if you have to check this video out.. this mascot eats people! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_jOd9ohHGE
i did that bag thing last night. too funny
I CAN.NOT.STOP.LAUGHING! This is HU-LARIOUS!!! I SO want a pet Geoduck now!!! And how come most of the mascots are something you could put in a salad!?!? TOO FUNNY!!!
PS loved your guest blog 🙂
Stanford’s “Cardinal”!?
OMG. I’m scared of it.
um to the lyrics of the geoduck fight song….
that’s what she said.
these mascots are killing me.
ol’ banana slug is my fave too! haha.
can’t wait to check out your featured spots!
🙂
I actually went to Scottsdale CC for a while and we all hated that our mascot was Artie the Artichoke. But the reason behind it was the school was on an Indian Reservation so they wouldn’t allow the school to have a mascot that was an animal. But still, an artichoke?! 🙂
It’s funny to me that you would just randomly think to Google that. I do that too! Sometimes it’s really gross. Once… well not “once”, it was actually 2005, the whole year, I was completely obsessed with looking at pictures of intestinal worms and parasites. So gross, hurt my eyes to look at, couldn’t stop. Now it’s galaxies, which is much better 🙂
oh my god, a fierce looking bundle of wheat. hahaha! That christmas tree one resembles cooked spinach. gross.
These are hilarious.
I love funny mascots. I went to college with a girl who’s high school mascot was the midget, talk about politically incorrect!
Did you know that santa cruz wanted to change their mascot..they thought the slug wasnt “intimidating” BUT the students freaked out because they love being the slugs. Isnt that cute?
LOL.
I’m a WSU alum, and you are correct. Our mascot is a shock of wheat with a disturbing facial expression and a penchant for chewing itself (see here: http://mtimages.cstv.com/touchingthebases/wushock.gif).
Your bag is really cute. I have to stop myself from going in Target without Chris because I end spending a little (okay, a lot) too much. If Chris is with me, I know I can’t get away with it!
Those are funny mascots, and sometimes I wonder how they come up with them. Off the subject, the real geoducks are so gross looking, especially the really long ones. Eeew!
Geoduck?
Funniest thing ever!
😛 I love your randomness. Its amazing!
So happy you represented my dear mascot… Sammy the Slug… I hope you are wearing your shirt 🙂 xoxo!!!
keggy the keg??!! hahah love it
Aren’t geoducks insane?!? Going along with Chloe, Utah not only has Pioneers as mascots, but we also have Cavemen (which unfortunately was my highschool mascot!)
I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that squirrels are your irrational fear. You would die at my house, there are like 20 squirrel friends that hang out in our yard scavenging our grass and tearing apart our cushions on our outdoor furniture
