[BALLandCHAIN]

16. I like it! Do you have a mascot?

[Abies]

17. Hmmm...

I wish I could draw something, but you'll have to settle for a description.

How about a Father Jacques Marquette mimic, with crazy hair, wearing a black robe and brandishing a huge cross in his hand. Of course, his mouth would be open and his face would be strained (e.g., with veins popping out of his forehead).

Of course, most Jesuits being pretty mild folks overall, might be offended by the imagery, but that's what makes it attractive and humorous to me (I graduated from a Jesuit university).

18. If they are offended, oh well. We can change the name in ten years.
