Norman: There's nothing more fun than a college football game, Stu! The cheerleaders, the marching band... What's not to like?
Stu: We could use a better mascot!
Norman: What have you got against roly-poly bugs?
One student started wearing the costume to attend sporting events and rile up fans screaming chants like: “Support your BALLS” (BALLS is their basketball team) and “Go NADS!” (hockey). Eventually the school embraced it.
In a Texas grocery store, I encountered a guy with a banana slug T-shirt. He was an alumnus and I immediately acquired status in his eyes because I had actually seen a banana slug in the wild, and he hadn’t. How fickle is fame!
prfesserAs a matter of lifetime policy, I don’t attend frat parties. Actually, the sighting was in the 1970s in the playground at de Cosmos housing co-op in Vancouver, BC., where I lived. I have never been to California, although I have to all surrounding states.

It could be worse, if you have something against banana slugs (UC Santa Cruz’s mascot).

We called them potato bugs…our cats loved to hit them back and forth to one another.
