Searching for info on snuffboxes I found out about this little critter - the snuffbox mussel, native to the eastern U.S., and potentially an endangered species. http://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/clams/snuffbox/SnuffboxFactSheet.html
He needs our help - what do you think?
I like mussels over linguine with marinara sauce heavy on the garlic. @Elcy8 Welcome aboard You will fit right in.
I don’t care the context or appropriateness, I will always vote for the Mantis Shrimp as a mascot. Why? He whips ass. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis\_shrimp
Mantis Shrimp are the bane of marine aquariums, not only do they eat your fish they will attack their reflection and have been known to shatter the glass (how much would that suck). They also have some of the craziest eyes in the animal kingdom, each eye is bivocal so they have excellent depth perception even if they lose an eye.
interesting, I live on the north east coast and never saw a snuffbox mussel. Would make a good mascot though.
I prefer the elephant as a mascot. Biological straw that could suck up kilos of snuff with one snort.
I would like a tiger and when he dies we can use his bones for spoons.
^^No. Though I wonder if mussel shell would make a good snuffbox. I’m all for adopting a mascot. There was an article about this guy in my local Delaware River Estuary news not long back. If I can find an online copy of the article I will send the link here.
OK, Send all your tax free donations to me, and i will do my part to help remove this from the endangered list. So there a second motion on the floor to adopt the snuffbox mussel as our official mascot. So we can vote on this? all in favor say I / all apposed say nay
Personally I don’t like the idea of fishy flavoured snuff … :-"
@ 50ft SNAFU has a fishy scent, at least to me.
I vote aye for the mussel.
How about the pistol shrimp? Those guys are pretty neat.
No invertebrates or lower forms of life.
