Uhh...I mean...was the campus nice?

A guy at my work today told me that he's a former Lumberjack, and it wasn't clear that he was referring to his alma mater's mascot until AFTER I enthusiastically asked him if he was ever in one of those log-throwing competitions.


The best part is, a little bit of google research has taught me that lumberjacks don't even throw logs. Scottish people do. And not even Scottish lumberjacks. Just Scottish log-throwers.

  1. Yeah, my husband wants to be Scottish. He told me that he wanted to wear a kilt on our wedding day to celebrate his Scottish heritage.

    He was outed at Thanksgiving dinner with his family, when they told me they weren't Scottish. I still married him anyway.

  5. That's called the Caber Toss........ We have Scottish Games in Athena every year.

    Northern Arizona University has a lumberjack as their mascot, as do several other schools.

  7. Thanks for the comment on my blog. I wonder if I should tell Kristina's husband that I'm part Scottish just so that I can hear him cyber wail in jealousy.
