Gentlemen,We've talked in the past about adopting an animal as the official MOP mascot. We have courted a variety of fearsome beasts...but unfortunately none have quite measured up to the high standards set by the council.
I introduce to you all (although I'm sure you're already familiar with) - the Honey Badger. Perhaps the name doesn't immediately strike a chord of terror and pant-pissing, but don't let it's name fool you. This little bastard is hard as nails.
I would ask that we all consider the Honey Badger as a possible MOP mascot. Indeed we should all pray and meditate on the matter. It is a very important decision.
Here is a very short list of what makes the Honey Badger (also known as Ratel) a good candidate:
- Highly intelligent (have been known to use tools in order to hunt down prey)
- Thick skinned (tough enough to resist several machete blows)
- Broad shouldered
- Retaliates fiercely when attacked
- They take what they want
- They don't care
- They don't give a shit
- They have been known to chase young lions and take their food
- They have been known to dig up human corpses
