<p>Nothing But Nets:</p>
<p>You Otterbein There!</p>
<p>My motto: Keep throwing **** against the wall until something sticks!</p>
<p>Wharfrat, you’ll be pleased to know that great minds think alike; the e-mail for Otterbein admissions is <a href=“mailto:uotterb@otterbein.edu”>uotterb@otterbein.edu</a>. Their coffee shop is the OtterBean, the dining hall is The Nest, and the take-out food place is The Roost. Of course, most of the students just want to know why the mascot is a cardinal instead of an otter…</p>
<p>Cardinal Seine!</p>
<p>('Cause, seine is a kind of net, and seine sounds like sin and cardinal…oh, never mind…:p)</p>
<p>Roshke, I think the NOsquitos is quite clever!</p>
<p>Actually, I brought up mosquitos when I said Muzzle the Mozzies because I read that mosquitos are referred to as Mozzies in English speaking countries outside of North America. Not sure anyone knew what I was referring to there!</p>
<p>Garland, that is funny!</p>
<p>mezzomom, I didn’t know about the dining hall being named the Nest but that kinda fits my original suggestion of Cardinals’ Nest for Nets.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I just sort of figured they had a thing for high-ranking Catholic clergy.</p>
<p>^^LOL! I’m sure Phillip Otterbein (lowly German Methodist whom the school is named after) is rolling in his grave at that thought!!! </p>
<p>Garland, I loved your idea, but I suspect I’d have to explain it to my daughter, who would then have to explain it to everyone else. More Italian students than French students in her group of friends…</p>
<p>I’m really glad I won’t be making the decision; there are some great ideas here.</p>
<p>Well, if they watch any fishing shows with seining nets…no? Yeah, i didn’t think it would fly, either.</p>
<p>Protecta Insecta Netta</p>

We Otter Be In Pictures</p>
<p>Update time…</p>
<p>I just got word from my daughter that they intend to register their “team” as <em>insert drum roll here</em> Otter-Be-In Nets. </p>
<p>We hope many contributions will be made as they all go toward nets. April 25th is National Malaria Day. The Gates Foundation has set up a matching grant.</p>
<p>Thanks for the update…cut name! </p>
<p>Ah, alas, it did not come from any CC posters though.</p>
<p>I dont to be a spoilsport, but I think fundraising may violate the “no solicitation” rule in the CC terms of service.</p>
<p>Yikes, I didn’t even think about that…I haven’t read the TOS in ages. Mods, if you need to delete my post, have at it…</p>
<p>oops on my post late last night…I wrote “cut name” and I meant “cute name” :eek:</p>
