If Decatur Had a Mascot…
Decatur Metro | September 30, 2010 | 10:10 am…what would it be?
(I’m feeling particularly caffinated this morning.)

AJC Attempts to Explain the “e” in Clairemont Avenue
Liger.
Holy crap. That’s an awesome animal!
I had to look it up.
Librarian.
Stealing from the book festival: Three headed monster: One head is a Mom pushing stroller, drinkng latte, walking dog, and texting at same time; another is a guy with a bluetooth earpiece, holding beer in one hand and frozen yogurt in the other; the third is a senior cycling with a book hanging out of their backpack.
Winner! Must be craft beer though. Any old swill will not do.
Speak for yourself.
half hippy/ half yuppie, drives a subaru, beer in one hand, protest sign in the other
Festy (I’ll leave the description of how it looks to your imagination)
A rat named “Roofy”. It would be a giant rat with a roof for a hat.
Red-tail hawk, with sky view of the urb below.
How about a rare and gorgeous Nelliebelle?
Or a Nelliebelle Junior.
Makes me think: Would a baby wearing a Decatur Bulldogs cap and holding a latte, beer, frozen yogurt, snocone, fresh farm produce, bicycle helmet, International Baccalaureate diploma, and Dollar General receipt be inappropriate as a mascot? We could make sure that the latte had a lid on it and the beer bottle was unopened.
Might be inappropriate for the city but just right as the Decatur Metro mascot. Of course the baby must be riding a plastic toy from the First Christian Church park.
And screaming in a restaurant.
You forgot cupcakes, Karass– there must always be cupcakes in a Decatur mascot’s hand…so saith I.
Yes, although the cupcakes are no longer as ubiquitous as they were a year or two ago, especially now that Taste, Voila, and Cafe Cliche are gone. If it weren’t for Sawicki’s and Piece of Cake, I’d say the craze was over and replaced by shaved ice and frogurt.
Don’t forget The Cookie Studio. That’s my new go to place for cupcakes . The brownies rock, too.
Am I the only one who does not like Piece of Cake? I think the cake is dry and the topping too sweet.
And Yogurt Tap yogurt and rum
I hope the latte cup is a reusable cup the baby brought from home.
A leafblower…
This one make me snort my coffee. But what would distinguish us from the suburbs then? But that and the sound of an approaching school bus and the sound of a train whistle, all combined, could be our mascot SOUND.
bingo!
Yellow dog
The KoolAid guy.
Trying to figure this one out. Is it a reference to our pediatric focus or The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test or that some feel that CSD keeps asking us to drink the Kool Aid?
Lotta Kool-Aid drinking goes on here.
An old Birkenstock held together with a money clip.
Would it have googly eyes?
I would propose those large ziti-shaped eyes found on the members of the Electric Mayhem.
That’s awesome, too!
Momentary threadjack: Did the masthead just develop a severe case of elephantiasis on anyone else’s monitor or just mine? A return to subtlety, please!
Glad you’re liking the new layout! 😉
The Cirque ad is grainy and BIG because we needed to enlarge it in preparation for tomorrow’s new, larger leaderboard ad.
If it were up to my toddler, it would have to be an anthropomorphized cartoon version of the mini-garbage pick-up thingies.

Oh, that’s awesome.
We have a mascot: Hootie.
I always thought Pete The Cat was our mascot!
Totally!
Purrfect idea ! You (and Pete) get my vote .
Pete wins my vote too. And the best part…he’s already drawn!
Now, we just need to get Pete in the City of Decatur logo..
A drunk and topless Decatur housewife, proudly nursing her 4 year old, resplendent in her Birkenstocks, cargo pants and sensible hair cut, dragging her rescued pit bull and carrying her organic groceries in her reusable Trader Joe’s bag?

The Decatur Potatur.
It’s poetic – It rhymes. It has meter. It has little, if any, actual relation to Decatur. And hence, creates an instant TBD-punchline querstion (sic) from those not in-the-know. It is as versatile as it’s properly spelled brother, the quietly supremacist Idaho potato.
With a Sharpie and quick trip to your local toy store (not a bib box), this idea could be ubiquitous marketing dynamite for the Decatur brand!
Brade Steel’s comment has left me in bemused befuddlement. Could Brad Steel explain himself, mayhap and perchance?
I’m thinking a person with an upturned nose and perhaps with a look of judgement and superiority.
