I have a lion/football inspired collection - and I love it. Sure, most of the "lions" are not mountain lions, and yes, our mascot is not a bear holding a football - but, really, who are we to judge? If a little inanimate bear chooses to be a football fan, and, once his red/green ribbons have been permanently sheared away, a Penn State fan - then what's the harm. Not everyone can be a Nittany Lion, but that doesn't mean that they don't want to join in the fun.
My father and I had a tradition that every Easter I would get an "easter animal" (as it was rarely a bunny). He and I would go out shopping and I was allowed to pick out my present. I remember in particular that one year we went to every toy/gift store downtown and nothing was suitable - until we went out to the nittany mall and I picked out a Nittany Lion puppet - he was so cute (still is).
It may be silly or girly or whatever - but I don't care - they make me smile.

the evil parking attendants
Hey, when I was in high school & college, I worked as a parking lot attendant. Are you saying I was evil?
(Sorry about the delayed response but I just got back from vacation & I'm getting caught up on blog reading.)
Hey! I tailgate with parking attendants! off duty, of course.
But the folks in lot 13 (especially the far side of the lot) are meanies! I realize that they are just following the "rules" of the university - but the university is wrong and there is no one else to blame on a chilly Saturday morning!
