Help Narrow Down Name Choices For Our Mascot

You may or may not have seen our little birdie before. Maybe you are not a frequent reader of the site or maybe you are color blind (’cause he sits on the top right). I looked over the old thread where we introduced him to you and realized that you have a lot of ideas for his names. I’m going to setup a poll to narrow down the choices for names. The top names or so will be included in the final, shortened list and there will be one last voting round. Feel free to add names and tell your friends!

What shall we name our mascot?

    i can’t decide which “Bloggie” to vote for. The top one seems so mysterious, but the bottom one is just so cute.

  2. 20 Feb 2008 at 9:17 amparlie said:

    i would like to encourage everybody to vote for scott. i’d do it myself, but my office’s IP already used up it’s one and only vote. thanks tom, you’re fired.

    is that you up this early parlie?

    Dang thor, you actually did it. But Bloggie? Sparkles? Hoodatbird? Where the hell am I?

    You’re in the velvet clost, b yo.

    Gah! Excuse me while I give the typo gnome a swift kicking.

  8. 20 Feb 2008 at 11:45 amparlie said:

    it appears that my dream candidate, scott, is not doing so hot. i will endorse scowly.

  9. 20 Feb 2008 at 11:46 ambelmont yo said:

    …and parlie is a superdelegate!

  10. 20 Feb 2008 at 11:49 amparlie said:

    you’re a supertowel.

    I like people’s priorities on this site. Within 2 hours we have more votes on this than we had all day yesterday on best place to study… :)

  12. 20 Feb 2008 at 11:55 amscoriole said:

    some of us don’t need to study. or, perhaps this is what we study for lack of other subject matter.

    Naming is important. go watch the Neverending Story and see what happens without a name. *shivers*

  13. 20 Feb 2008 at 1:32 pmStreet said:

    It appears Cecil and Scowly are leading this groundbreaking race with 10 each! The tension is unbearable! What’s a healthy way to quickly relieve the stress this contest is causing me?

  14. 20 Feb 2008 at 1:36 pmSmiley said:

    Drugs and alcohol.

  15. 20 Feb 2008 at 1:38 pmbelmont yo said:

    Spousal Abuse. Superbowl folks swear by it.

  16. 20 Feb 2008 at 2:36 pmGobbler said:

    Is that like “Superb owl?”

  17. 20 Feb 2008 at 2:55 pmStanley said:

    What’s the origin of Cecil? I’m leaning towards Scowly, but I’m intrigued by Cecil’s popularity and am thinking I’m being left out of a funny inside joke. Let me in! Cold out here!

    Also: I think baconfat or some other co-worker (a lurker?!) has ruined my chance to vote, and I will have to vote from home unless dijonbray votes, in which case I’ll break into my neighbor’s encrypted network unless of course he’s also a lurker, in which case I will file with the Justice Department my accusation of voter disenfranchisement.

  18. 20 Feb 2008 at 2:56 pmcaroline said:

    I personally like Caroline CAPEshaw
    but i can’t enter it up there for some reason, probably cause it’s too cool.
    Second choice is scott, I’ll back you up Parlie baby

  19. 20 Feb 2008 at 2:59 pmparlie said:

    thanks caroline, but i put scott in triage and decided to endorse scowly. scowly has a broad appeal among the youth of today, who are idealistic, hopeful, lazy, and really, really high.

  20. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:01 pmStanley said:

    the youth of today, who are idealistic, hopeful, lazy, and really, really high.

    Yes! We! Can! Are!

  21. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:05 pmbelmont yo said:

    Scott was a really good idea. Maybe you could create a Scott character and sell it to Thomas at Mas… Because that would be doubly puntatstic.

  22. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:28 pmcolfer said:

    i can’t remember why scott is funny. nobody say it.

  23. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:33 pmSmiley said:

    Mas-scot. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

  24. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:45 pmGobbler said:

    It’s masked Scott

  25. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:46 pmparlie said:

    yeah, masked scott the mascot.

    it’s a lot like wayne’s lanes, brah, in waynesbrah.

  26. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:50 pmlilith said:

    How did Burd make it but not Birt? Can we please Brangelina some local duos’ names now? Aka Tomkatting?

  27. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:51 pmStanley said:

    lilithor? (I keed! I keed!)

  28. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:52 pmGobbler said:

    oh, like Dramelia? or Jegan?

  29. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:53 pmGobbler said:

    or parlie bear?

  30. 20 Feb 2008 at 3:56 pmGobbler said:

    or maybe silmoline?

  31. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:05 pmbelmont yo said:

    cBobbler? Stanpri? Hipster Thorfus? Lil mc? Parleet? Belmont Oy?

  32. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:06 pmbelmont yo said:

    Actually, hipster thorfus would be an awesome band name.

  33. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:14 pmSmiley said:

    parlie + thor = parlor

    gobbler + parlie = garbler

    lilith + parlie = lily

  34. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:15 pmparlie said:

    well, that hits closer to home than most of you could ever imagine. smiley, for the second day in a row, i am firing you out of a cannon.

  35. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:19 pmStanley said:

    parlie’s boinking Thor? Hmph. Go figure.

  36. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:22 pmlilith said:

    I almost forgot! Scoriole and all you newbies, welcome to the party! Help yourselves to leftover Christmas m&ms and hot toddies. IT’S SNOWING!

  37. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:25 pmditto said:

    or Droppins….like all the people that visit the site…or, all that stuff that’s written…

    If it’s Scott then why not the entire
    Masked Scott….or the sense is lost…
    Hey, that rhymes.

  38. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:26 pmGobbler said:

    Smiley and Stanley have the same last name. Are you two related?

    @36: Show me your newbies!

  39. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:27 pmGobbler said:

    @37…actually, i really like Droppins. it makes me giggle.

  40. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:30 pmStanley said:

    Smiley and Stanley have the same last name. Are you two related?

    Hm. Good question. We could be long-lost twins. Smiley: are you strikingly attractive and renown for your piercing intellect and wit? Because if so, we’re probably not related.

  41. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:38 pmGobbler said:

    what about the name Chubbs?

  42. 20 Feb 2008 at 4:39 pmditto said:

    Can Droppins be added to vote list?

  43. 20 Feb 2008 at 6:32 pmTwoOFour said:

    Cecil B. Cville

  44. 20 Feb 2008 at 7:03 pmtommy d. said:

    can second place be the middle name?

  45. 20 Feb 2008 at 7:09 pmStanley said:

    But Cecil’s currently in first place w/15 votes. And I still don’t get why it’s a good name, even after TwoOFour’s comment.

  46. 20 Feb 2008 at 7:19 pmTwoOFour said:

    Stanley, it is just on of those cosmic things.

  54. 20 Feb 2008 at 7:50 pmCecil said:

    I lobby you all to vote for something other than Cecil, because it’s been my screen name at cvillenews.com for the past five years or so, and it just weirds me out.

    that is all.

  55. 20 Feb 2008 at 7:55 pmparlie said:

    i only have time for about 5 minutes, so buckle up:

    once upon the time, there was an internet, and it was a waste of time. it had LOLcats and lindsey lohan, and at least one girl had a cup. sometimes it was used for gud, but other times it was used to send forwarded emails, and it would often make people’s penises become comically enormous. one day during parlie hour, somebody pointed out that not only is there a full lunar eclipse, but that the international coalition of george bush was going to SHOOT DOWN A SATELLITE WITH A MISSILE. this was too good to pass up, and everybody went outside to watch. while they were gone, parlie tunred off the internet, because seriously, WTF.

    the end.

    smooches to goobler the ass.

  62. 21 Feb 2008 at 2:57 amStanley said:

    I vote for a runoff between Cecil and Scowly, with superdelegate votes going to those who have posted blogs here more twice or more.

  63. 21 Feb 2008 at 2:59 amStanley said:

    And with extra votes for people who are drunk enough to include extra words in their comments. Dammit.

    Good morning, cVillains! I eagerly awaited the addition of names by those who stagger down the path of glorious inebriation! I am not disappointed, though I did expect more names. and rampant misspellings. Mr. Fluttery Pants sounds awfully familiar…

    the ‘add’ thingy is broken - it won’t let me add “Felcher Donkeypunch”

    oy, that’s because even your computer wants you to vote for Cecil. Obvi.

    Jinx was never my idea, right? It’s my friend’s dog’s name and a childhood friend’s cat’s name. I can’t add another Jinx to my life. I don’t trust the letter J either. It’s so asymmetrical.

    that’s what he said…

  73. 21 Feb 2008 at 12:27 pmStanley said:

    It really is an unfortunate choice of a name. Is the double entendre intended? I can’t imagine so, and I want to be supportive of this new local joint, but the bad thoughts just keep coming, e.g.:

    “I dropped my noodle in The Box last night.”

    etc.

    How about names that rhyme with Cvillain?
    Dylan
    McMillan
    Killin’
    Quillon
    Will N.

  76. 26 Feb 2008 at 12:30 pmDonk said:

    I like Cecil.

    But, only if I can pretend it’s the first part of Cecil D. Villain. It’s both an homage to Motley Crue and the first initial last name works out nicely as C. Villain.

  77. […] looks like a distant cousin of our still nameless mascot.  If you haven’t gone to narrow down the names, now is the time to do it.  We will put the final vote up over the […]

  78. 07 Mar 2008 at 8:40 pmTim said:

    Donk, I think you meant to refer to Poison, not Motley Crue. No worries, both bands are fucking awesome, and I listened to both of them today.

  79. 07 Mar 2008 at 8:46 pmDonk said:

    Tim. You’re exactly right. Quite the glam rock faux pas. Agreed on your second part, and thanks for pointing it out.

  80. 08 Mar 2008 at 11:42 amUva LaGrape said:

    this poll should be moved to the top of the Cvillain list of stories since the vote is being tallied this weekend. And scramble the list so that the names that aren’t “Cecil” get a fair shot.

    And where’s my “Dylan” entry?
