  Is it a boy mascot or a girl mascot? Love him/her anyway! Have to think about a name, it is far too early to use brain. Wx

  Benj, I think you are just so great how you do these works of art. I think you should run lessons for Wallers to improve their skills - my skills - there has to be a way for me to do something better than an 8 year old!

  A name for the mascot for team flitterbug? Well it isn't early here but my brain doesn't work so quickly So I am going to have to think also.

  I'll be back!

  Boy or Girl - does it matter? Or do I have to worry about a big white Wolfie chasing me around the field and in between the legs of the cheer squad? Oh, dear, should have worn skates!

  Wonderful mascot - just beautiful. A bug with pom-poms - you are just so good, you! I am stuck on the name - I am just thinking, Flitterbug! This is a flitterbug! Will have to try and think some more...

  I wish you hadn't chosen my middle as a model though! I need to do something about those rolls :|

• 04/07/2008 @ 12:24 Jomo said

  

  If that is Maid's middle, then those are my knees! Mebenji - have you been peeking at my knees? Not my wings - must be Flitterbug's

  Well which bit is yours? benj?

• 04/07/2008 @ 14:50 Mebenji said

  

  To think I thought I'd modelled it to fit myself! I thought you lot were wearing the skimpy skirts. Oh, well, can we be a cheersquad of too many mascots and not enough cheerleaders? Would that work?

  How about "Flutterbee" (that's a whole lot better than the other I just thought! Ooops!)

  Maybe it's my head? Or my well-padded feet? Wolfie's hands and tail? Roze's happy grin?

  i like flitter bee and the idea of too many mascot and not enough cheerleaders the mascots got the most spirit anyways, hee hee i am really into dragon fly and butterflies thats why i chose flitterbug as my usermane, maybe a butter bee , hee hee thats sounds so funny to me, anyways you all are great i just can't say that enough, i was back to work today alot of questions, from people, but they don't need know, my sickness is like an FBI sonfidential report, you'lll need to know when you need to know, hee hee

  What good names - and I agree totally flitterbug - why not have a complete squad of mascots! Cheerleading mascots! We can do anything, we can!

  
  What I only just noticed that whatever the name of our delightful little mascot, she has already been awarded the Purple Heart - well done, good Mebenji.

  As long as it's not flutter butt! Do we all get to wear the same mascot outfit - maybe we could arrange for different colours?

  Hope you are thinking about the pace Flit.

  Hey Jomo we need a cheerleading mascot chant - youre the one with the swinging words. Umxx

• 05/07/2008 @ 12:37 Jomo said

  

  Never did a war cry. Quite fancy the Maori one, but.

  Flutter butt? Quaite naice, I think...

• 05/07/2008 @ 14:21 Mebenji said

  

  Yeah something like a Hakka? (probly mispelt too). Love Maori Hakka! Very powerful...& go make your own costumes if you want. Change the colours too, if you want. I just did those to match the pom poms. But if you have differnent colours we'll just be a kaliedoscope Team Flitterbug. & if fluttering you butt works for you, Jomo, who am I to complain? You might want to fill it with those phosporizing when shaken bacteria though...! :) That could be fun in the dark!

• 05/07/2008 @ 14:27 Mebenji said

  

  Sorry, forgot to spell-check. That "Hakka" is spelled correctly.
  and "Phosphorizing" is not really a word.

  "Kaleidoscope" & "different" are spelled like this.

• 05/07/2008 @ 21:13 flitterbug said

  

  i like fliter bee like float like a butterfly sting like a bee, hee , i also love the kalidescope idea all diferant color and bug like critters, i love anything with wings......and i am watching my pace UM working two days two days off work two two off, they are working with me this time, i am not on overload no more, ty ty all

• 06/07/2008 @ 02:47 UMxx said

  

  Good on you Flit - I think I would like to be a stop watch on your team with a loud alarm when you kept going to long. I could still have wings.

  The Hakka is for men only and I need to find the female equivalent which I have seen and heard but of course doesn't get on before the football! Cheers'UM xxx

• 06/07/2008 @ 03:00 Jomo said

  

  Okay. This then is Women's Business. We need a good chant, a war-cry, for women. I am now in gear. We need the Cry of the Wall, that's wot.

  So fragile is a life,
  Just a whisper on a breeze.
  Hold it in an open palm,
  Lest you crush it's delicate wings,
  Which may one day lift a heart to heights unseen.
  So fragile is a life,
  Just a whisper on a breeze.

  i kinda like this googled womans war cry poetry, very simple yet so deep

• 06/07/2008 @ 07:43 UMxx said

  

  Very beautiful Flit - you are great with words :)

  Not a war cry - too beautiful - feels more like a blessing. I think this deserves a brick of it's own.

• 06/07/2008 @ 09:42 Jomo said

  

  Who wrote that, Flitter? Beautiful words - thank you for sharing them.

• 06/07/2008 @ 10:14 Mebenji said

  

  :) Yeah, very beautiful, Flit - too gentle for war. War is a man thing anyway, I reckon. Though I would still like our own sort of 'Hakka'. I am aware the Maori Hakka is a men's ritual. It is simply that the power of the thing reaches me, gives me shivers, and excites me. I wish I could feel so strong like that - and be loud, bold, in ya face, all that - every thing I am not.

  
  Gent;e, quiet blessing, to strengthen the spirit is a good thing too. We can meditate on it, UM?

  How about calling the Flitterbug Team Mascot Tofu? love roze

• 06/07/2008 @ 11:44 UMxx said

  

  I think roze is being a bit cheeky - It worries me she dislikes tofu and wants to call our beautiful mebenji masocot tofu!

  Yes the Hakka is very moving and I have been taught it but it was a one off and I was part of a trio that was known as the Brazen Hussies. We had a great lineup of songs - Queen of the House (not King of the Road) Stand on your Man, Harper Valley PTA -

  Maybe meditation is a better way to go....

  Who would we get to sponsor us? UM xx

  Hi Mebenji - Just found this brick tonight and I am awe struck. Wish I had even 5% of your talent, and humour

  Yes benj is a treasure - have you checked out the other bricks by Benj - you'll need tissues and a glass of water - some make me so sad and some make me laugh so much I choke.

  Hey Flit how are you going?

  lots of love
  UM xx
