The Gilmer Buckeyes Need Your Help

[movethechain]

Please help us update or replace our mascot suit. I thought we had buried this one at the city dump, but noticed it making it's appearance again during the playoff games this year.

Our mascot is the laughing stock of every game. Something along the lines of Brutus at Ohio State would be great. Please, please help us.

I like bobcat1 idea. Change name to Gilmer Cockfighters. Use something from your area for a mascot name. Not many Buckeyes around there is there?

[Snotbubbles]

Or, Gilmer Doublewides, Gilmer Pine Cones

Buckeyes, in fact, grow wild here.

When I was growing up, during Homecoming week, the football ribbons the cheereleaders and other students would go around town selling would also all have actual buckeyes attached to them that they had gathered from the surrounding countryside of beautiful Buckeyeland.

On edit: "A glycoside called aesculin and/or a narcotic alkaloid is responsible for the toxicity of this plant. Buckeye has poisoned cattle, horses, sheep and swine as well as children." There you go. That's why the horses lost Friday. It took until the second half for the toxin to take effect, though. Wild horses must have some resistance to it.

They grow as bushes, not trees, in the wild...used to see 'em everywhere in the fence rows...now, not as many fence rows not as many buckeye bushes

[buckeyebob]

It is not as bad as the Rabbits...a poison nut is more menacing than a friggin rabbit...and I have a Buckeye Chicken
