Sure, but I'm not so certain Aurea knows that.

Somebody - and I think it was I - predicted Notre Dame would eventually be awarded a time in the barrel for their name and mascot. Ahem.

And on the name warpath - "Vikings" your time is coming. And don't think you're safe, "Dodgers" - originally the 'Trolley Dodgers', a derogatory name for the mostly Dutch-origin people whose life was literally in danger crossing the street. Let's go to "(name town/college) (sport) Team" for everyone.

Gigantism is a real thing and we don't want to look down on them.

And the Royals are certainly bourgeois.

"look down on" Giants? :lol:

White Sox and Blackhawks are racist.
Bulls are sexist.
Cubs are ageist.

There is that. And who knows how many people's names have been maligned by what they call those things. And even the nickname "the U" is probably sexist and offensive to the billys. But if we just had the "Miami Football Team" those imposter wannabes from Ohio would try to claim the name.

It sucks, except for Karens. I don't care about them.

Not to mention every other U. in the country.

As would the NFL team. Anyhow, no one ever asked the Miami (Mayaimi) Native Americans whether they wanted to have their name usurped by football teams, universities and a city. No justice, no peace!

OK, so I hadn't read "The Lorax" and had to look up the reference. But the point is well taken, particularly given where Humboldt is, on the edge of a depleted redwood forest. There's a display in Fort Bragg of a slab cut out of a redwood - about 7-8 feet across. Made us wonder about the lumberjacks, looking at the tree and saying "Oh look, here's a magnificent tree that's probably been here a thousand years or so - let's cut it down."

Send the Lumberjacks to the barrel along with the Pygmies.
