looksgoodinred Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Is there one? If not, what would you suggest? As "the most model representative" of Aberdeen? A seagull? On Thursday, the folks over at the New York Times Weekend Arts section proposed an interesting question: if Paddington is the little Peruvian bear in boots who has come to represent London, which character in history would be the best and most model representative of New York City?Classically, many would think of Eloise, the troublemaker who lives in the Plaza Hotel. Stuart Little, a tiny empathetic mouse born to human parents, is also a common go-to. The Times reached out to a number of NY institutions to ask them what their selections would be. A gray squirrel is an excellent choice.A fat rate who lives at Grand Central?The feral cats of Bushwick?A pack of bedbugs who make their home on the subway? The options are endless.http://newsfeed.gawker.com/who-would-be-the-best-nyc-mascot-1679908789?utm_campaign 1 Link to comment
Site Sponsor Dom Sullivan Posted January 16, 2015 Site Sponsor Share Posted January 16, 2015 Has to be a sheep. Def should be a sheep. Moniker of Shaun maybe a bit obvious. Shaggy the sheep or does that sound more like a pastime? Link to comment
The Boofon Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 A giant chip. Make it reside on Aberdonian's shoulders. It'll keep the other one company. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Shitey the Seagull. With a nicked sandwich in his beak, and a perpetual stream of shite pouring from its arse, Shitey the Seagull can be seen ripping into stray rubbish bags, and screaming at the top of his voice, between the hours of 5am and 11pm. 2 Link to comment
