What sort of creatures are these mascots?
Mucus and Pucus.
Cog and Macog.
That wins. *grin*
I wasn’t sure if people would get the reference :-)
Slick was suggested for one of them.
How about Smooth for the other?
Either that or Walter and Eunice.
Ozzie and Harriet
Pete and RePete
Slip and Slide
Bump and Grind
Lunch and Dinner
Fred and Ethel
Fred and Wilma
Fred and Ginger
Burke and Hare
Bootsie and Snudge
Frodo and Sam
Mulder and Scully
Scylla and Charybdis
Addendum:
Beany and Cecil
Young Master Branagh seems to be an OLD soul!
Nah. Studied Einstein, who was a well-known fan of Beany and Cecil, even to stopping lectures when it was time for the show with the announcement “It’s time for Beany.”
Naturally, I investigated. Frankly, I don’t get it myself, but then, I ain’t Einstein. :)
Stink and Stank?
Slick and Slack
Nut and Bolt
Mr U and Mr O
Wait, what?
What what?
The names for the two creatures really should be different from one another.
Many languages employ intonational variation to distinguish otherwise identical words. Therefore, ‘What‘ and ‘What?‘ are technically two different names – though I concede a touch confusing. Perhaps ‘Yum’ and ‘YUM!‘ would be a better example of an intonational distinction.
Not YOU U. I’m betting it’s Underby and Obolensky….
Good bet!
Wouldn’t that have made them Mr. U and Dr. O?
After all, if the name is Mr. O, then it is obviously a reference to someone who doesn’t have a professional standing to maintain. Perhaps some well known man of letters. Or possibly a famous photojournalist of questionable skill.
Now who could that be?
Bacon and Eggs
Ham and grits.
Mory & Arty
Mario and Luigi
Hamm and Aggie. For some reason I kept calling them Ely and Eunice, but I know that’s not right; those are my neighbours. Although one of the actually looks a bit like Ely… *shudder*
i’ve decided that the owner of the bar that has collected the most in their kiosk will be the one to have the honor of naming the giant slug. currently, that means either Capt. Lupindo for Ahab’s, or Junie Ginsburg for the Gangplank. I will check the kiosks tomorrow.
it has come to my attention that Ahab’s and the Gangplank are currently tied for first.
If the tie had been maintained, we could have named them after the proprietors of these fine establishments.
I rather like the idea of the slugs being named Ahab and Emmerson.
Ah, well, now that I know wot kinda critters they are, and even though I doan own no Bar, I nominate:
Slugee and Sluggo
Thing 1 and Thing 2
Ugly and Uglier
Squishy and Squashy
Squishy and Slimey
Mix and Match
the captain will name the slugs.
Don’t tell me – Ahab and Moby.
You are very close Master Jim.
After some thought I have decided the names will be
Mocha and Moby.
Mocha?
I thought that Moby and Dick would have been completely appropriate.
*smiles sweetly*

Hey, that’s pretty cool – I had no idea. Thanks for posting the link!
Just to be clear, which one is on the plateau?
That salty old dog won?!?!
All the more reason to slime his bar.
*pouts*
*laughs*
Excellent
I’ve tried really hard to resist sharing this but I’m giving in. From an old local Seattle show called Almost Live, a skit about a boy and his beloved pet…. Sluggy.

O man. Sorry, CJ, but I could not quite make it though that one.
We could have always gone with Thelma and Louise. ;)
