Best. Mascot. Ever!

Ah...Texas. Home of seriously scary obsession of High School football and great High School mascots. I saw the BEST mascot EVER yesterday in New Braunfels, Texas. I am not sure you can make out the picture on the left so in case you can't, here is another pictures which is a clearer indication of their mascot.

Now, before too many crazed Texans send me hate mail or something, let me assure I am not making fun of this mascot. Instead, I truly think it is a great mascot. There are so many mascots that are over used across the country. My high school mascot was a mustang. My daughter was first a lion, then was a tiger, and if she went to University of Northern Colorado she would have been a bear (oh my). She actually is now a pioneer (which is another more unique mascot). I know of schools that are bulldogs, wildcats, eagles, wolves, and on and on.

I really like unique mascots and Colorado has many unique teams as well. I try to find shirts with these mascots on them and wear them and support them in that manner. I am not making fun; I applaud them for their unique take on the High School mascot. So, I like the Brush Beetdiggers, the Rocky Ford Meloneers, the Clear Creek Golddiggers, AND the New Braunsfels Unicorns!

If you know of a unique High School or College mascot, please post it. I would love to hear from you.

Fun For Geeks

This is a fun thing...if you are a geek. It is a super hero maker. You give the specifics and you can make just about any super hero you ever wanted. You have to try it. It is easy once you get use to the interface.

Hero Machine 2.0

I will try to post my best creation (not sure if I will be able to do that). Anyway, I made one for Jessica (Super Jessica) or something like that but apparently I didn't save it.

Let me see you creations, if possible.

2008 Movies or GEEKFEST!

It is probably old news but I found out that there are some cool movies coming out in 2008. Here is a list of those that I would not mind seeing in the theater:

Speed Racer - A live version of the cartoon. I loved that show. Below is shot of the Mach 5. Matthew Fox of Lost is going to be Racer X.


Star Trek XI - J.J. Abrams, the director of Lost, will be directing this movie (I see a theme here). Apparently, it will star James T. Kirk but it is rumored he will be played by Matt Damon. I sure like those Star Trek Movies.



The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - This is second book in the Naria series (that is, second as Lewis wrote them). My daughter and I are both excited about this movie.



Dark Knight - Which, of course, is another Batman movie in the vein of Batman Begins. Christian Bale will play Batman again and apparently he will fight a villian simply known as the Joker. Hmmmm.



X-Men 4 - With no official website, I do not know anything about this movie, but it is an X-Men movie.



Wolverine - I do not know what this movie is about either, but of the X-Men, he is the coolest.



While there are many more movies coming out in 2008, these are the few that I would like to see in the theater. I know most of these prove how big a geek I truly am but I cannot help it. SciFi and Hero movies are my weakness.
