Above, you see the photo taken by Rich Roesler, Eye On Olympia, of a mascot for a Washington college. Roesler explains: “The state’s public colleges are putting on a full-court press in Olympia today, with mascots prowling the capitol, Cougar ice cream being handed out, and bands in the rotunda. The most feared mascot seemed to be (deleted for the sake of the question below), which male lawmakers and lobbyists seemed reluctant to hug. Go figure.

Question: What is the mascot above and which college does it represent? (Answer here)

There’s nothing like a giant snail dressed as a super hero to get phallic jokes around here.

Since male lawmakers are hesitant to hug it, I think it is a green and silver condom promoting safe sex; or, even less huggable, it is the poster child for Erectile Dysfuntion Syndrome.

It is a TREE. Get it, no one wants to be a tree hugger. Evergreen state and all.

That woman has no issues hugging it from the picture.

Shades of ZZ Top…looks like that lady’s having a difficult time doing the “Tube Snake Boogie”…

(You can find that musical/literary masterpiece on ZZ Top’s “El Loco” album, really you can.)
