I have it on good authority that a group of Native American intramural basketball players at the University of Northern Colorado decided to call their team "The Fighting Whites" and chose a caricature of a white businessman from the 1950's as their mascot.
While I applaud their cultural sensitivity, I feel that they could have done a lot better for names. How about "Mad Men"? Or, going a little farther back, "The Gray Flannel Suits"? or "The Babbits?" Oh,heck, I bet nobody who reads this blog, except Vernon, has even heard of Babbit. Can't expect that of a bunch of college kids.
i bet no one has heard of piffle either. you knows you;re maturing wshedn you realized you acrtuazlly read thed book. nows therte's one that andrews lloyd wseber woluld find challenging. by the way they are saying that the sequel to phantiom of the oopera is as good as tge origional.
