little known fact


Although few realize it, Pizza Pizza does in fact have a mascot. His is the Dough Dude and no, he is not a slice of pizza (although i admit, it'd be ridiculously hilarious). I'm told that the Dough Dude got to play soccer with a bunch of other mascots at intermission during a sporting event. He was knocked over by the mouth wash. Or was it the giant m&m? I'll have to double check that. There is a whole world of mascotting that i never knew about until i started working with Pizza Pizza promotions. (and no, i have never had the... er... "honour" of wearing that costume, thankfully)

My all time favourite mascot is Bucky Badger from the University of Wisconsin.

You can check him out at the Mascot Hall of Fame. http://www.mascothalloffame.com/

My least favourite mascot is the University of Minnesota's Goldy Gopher, who is NOT in the mascot hall of fame.

i have a vague suspicion that you're biased. How unfotrunate. Everyone who's anyone knows that Goldy rocks. (the hall of fame must be rigged.)

Besides, did you know that, according to wikipedia, "Goldy has a family, most of whom "reside" at State Fair".
And that fair is a thing of beauty. So clearly, from that conclusive evidence, Goldy is great. I can't be too hard on Bucky, because his name is close to mine, and i love cheese. And it looks like he's got a great strut.
