[HuskyNan]

The Peoria Caterpillers. LOL.

Just mentioned during the USA-Angola game.

 

[MilfordHusky]

But will they play in Peoria?

 

[FairView]

It's got legs.

Caterpillar Headquarters are in Peoria.

I only know that because I grew up in southern IL

Caterpillars have a headquarters? The place must have a gazillion butterflies.

It's tough to find your way around there. It seems there's always a metamorphosis going on.

Have a good friend from HS that works for Cat. I lived in Peoria and around there for a couple years back when I was in.......3rd/4th grade. Wow that was a long time ago.

That's terrible. Guess that's why, instead of writing real signs, I see ball clubs resorting to hand signals.

How can you not like the UC Irvine Anteaters or the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs. And we only use something mundane like Huskies

 

[FluxTZ]

The Banana Slugs definitely takes the cake for me.

Those are 2 of the classics. Offbeat UC campuses.

It's UConn Huskies and it's not mundane, it's clever.

I think your sarcasm/irony detector is malfunctioning.

The birder in me loves the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels

There's a song parody in there, somewhere, TJI.

"Wonder why..there's a team that makes me sigh..Stormy Petrels.."

 

[alexrgct]

And nothing beats John Travolta wearing the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs shirt in Pulp Fiction. Just perfect.

There is, or at least was at one time, a minor league baseball team in Georgia called the Macon Whoopee.

Yeah, I remember that. It was wonderful. And don't forget the Rhode Island School of Design... the RISD Nads. Go, Nads, go!
