Does your branch identify with a mascot? I have seen rednecks, cows, beavers, starwars stormtroopers, south park munchkins, chickens and robots. I wish there was a list to keep things straight so I thought this could be a sort of reference. If you don't have one, I'd still like to know....

Allentown - Clown named Alfundo
Ashville - Flying Squirrel named Edward
Brockton - Kangaroo named Brock
Canton - Cows
Cedar Rapids - no mascot (Star Trek Theme)
Charleston - teapots
Clearwater - Clones from Star Wars
Colchester - Snowman Pirate
Ft. Collins - no mascot
Long Beach - Flying Monkey Brigade
Macon - no mascot
Marietta - Big Chicken
Medford - Rogue Beavers
Moose Jaw - Mac the Moose
Muncie - no mascot
Nampa - Possibly a potato
Passaic - no mascot
Roanoke - no mascot
Rochester - no mascot
Schaumburg - Smoke Monster named Smokey (from Lost)
Spokane - Robots (Bender from Futurama)
Tacoma - no mascot
Upland - Ninja
Ypsilanti - Beets

Ooo This is interesting. I noticed a lot of branches have mascots. It would be interesting to see in a list form.

Spokane's is robots in general, but more specifically Bender from Futurama.

Roanoke doesn't have one. It's one of the things on my to-do list for 3.0.

Nampa has a strong association with potatoes since we're the only Idaho branch. If you check out our website (www.dminampa.com) you'll see that pretty easily.

I don't know if we've officially adopted the potato as our mascot, though. That'll be a good discussion to get going!

I'm excited to find out more branch mascots!

I am my own mascot.
and my own referee for all sporting activities.
I also always play against myself, as i'm the only competition worthy of myself that has an adequate cheering base.

Also, i always win.

Would you say you Moose Jaw folks have a moose mascot? Your Holiday party featured a moose, but I don't wish to presume.

Funny you bring this up, my Create a Task idea was to design a DMI mascot!

We don't have an official mascot for Passaic. Maybe this guy someday:

His name is Mr. Bojangles, and one of the members of my branch submitted him for the pet photo task. He didn't win, but I think he looks pretty cool hanging around the office.

No official mascot for Macon, but we're working on it. We actually have a lengthy discussion on our forums and we've thrown out a few ideas that are special to the city of Macon, like the kazoo or the Petals the Pink Poodle. Nothing concrete though.

If I had it my way, it would be something really dorky like the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who or a Dalek or something involving Simon Pegg or a book wielding Jane Austen. I don't think my branch mates would go for any of those ideas.

Oh...ninjas. Totally ninjas.
