    Now THAT'S the perfect mascot for the Tampa Bay Tourists. Technically I could be considered a tourist too, since I'm not a native, but one of the many people coming here and driving up the real estate prices. I don't wear bad shirts and knee high socks though.

    Hey, I'd be all for it. Far as I'm concerned they could call the team the Tampa Bay Bundys, but I just can't get my head around the culture that praises theft and freaks about fish.

    Anyway, check out this cute, little tasmanian angel:

    Yeah, Bucco Bruce always looked like Isaac Mizrahi's version of a pirate... or maybe the singer for a third-rate Sunset Strip pop-metal band.

    I have mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand, it's discouraging that an abundance of people in this market in the year 2006 are so small-minded to be put off by the word "Devil." On the other hand, I'm a big "perception is reality" guy.

    The target audience, no matter how irrational, doesn't like the word "Devil." Your brand isn't very strong to begin with. Might as well change it.

    So glad I don't live in the St. Pete area.
    Stick to your guns.

    Tampa Bay Manatees or Sea Cows.

    The fighting cows.

    Kinda has a South Park ring to it.

    Well, they play in St. Petersburg, so why not call them the "Leningrad Cowboys"?

    Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

    The people of Trampa/St. Pete telephoned to say they didn't get your joke.
