Who could build the MeFi mascot?

Who could build the MeFi mascot? Mascots Interntational, silly! (via my friend Leslie) Imagine "Pancake Bunny" entertaining your kids during the International MeFi Convention in glitzy Las Vegas. If MI could make "Freddy Combine," "Mr. Crab," "Ripster" and "Mazola Bottle," they apparently could make anything.

I'd prefer a "Scatological Monkey" for MeFi. We could call him "Scats." And instead of flinging feces...pancakes.

And he could ride a pony.

It's sad that Aaron, the originator of the pancakes joke, doesn't come around anymore. He was always very well-spoken and informed, I thought, though I know a lot of people had antagonistic relationships with him.

Sorry, didn't want to derail the thread. But I hear newbies referring to pancakes these days who probably never knew Aaron. Just wondering what happened to him.

What about the Mr. Troll costume? You guys are all dumb bastard, by the way.

Bastards. Ahem.

Better than dastards (the noun form of dasdardly). I called someone that the other day at school and got in serious trouble. The teacher thought I said something different—stupid dastard. BTW, what is the adverb form? "Dastardlyly?" I think not. I'm losing some serious sleep over this.

If someone buys me that "Mr. Troll" costume, I promise to wear it each and every time I post to MeFi.

...mr.Burns getting frisked at the GGB
Burns:..."I said NUCLEAR POWER you under-battled ruffian. Smithers, call harry hopkins"....freeze-like pause (all characters except Burns "break fifth wall", stare towards screen with wide-eyed blinks)

Damn the bunnies and costumes, Mefi has a real live mascot. He just has to replenish the pancake supply daily.

This is why I keep a low profile.

If metafilter has a mascot, it's a man made out of straw. I mean this in the nicest possible way.

At the bequest of Men Who Will Go Unnamed, I hereby remove this suggestion. Forget you even saw me. These are not the droids you're looking for.
