Mascot Names

I’d prefer mascots with cool names. In my hometown, we were the Peekskill Red Devils. On the show “Facts of Life”, we were the “Peekskill Pirates” which was so much beter, especially that our rivals were the “Hen Hud (Henry Hudson) Sailors”. Then in college, we were the Colgate Red Raiders. But no mascot. Then in grad school is was the Rice Owls. Owls??? Maybe with Harry Potter, owls have grown in importance, but that’s just silly.

When we moved to Pine Lake, I was curious about our mascot, The Kingfisher. Yeah, probably not as “cool” as an owl, but at least relevant as there are kingfishers in Pine Lake. I asked around if the kingfishers had names, but just found out today via some websurfing. They are Kenny and Kathy Kingfisher. Still a bit boring, but that certainly is par for the course of my life.
