IMAGINARY MASCOTS: TWITCHY THE MARTYR
We had this idea just before a post-lunch nap the other day: “Twitchy, the Martyr.” Then we woke up and found a note we’d written to ourself on a scrap piece of paper: “Twitchy, the Martyr.”
After bouncing around our brain for a few caffeine-addled hours, the meaning became all too clear: Twitchy is an imaginary mascot, the meaning and spirit of something embodied in a cartoonish, anthropomorphic form. Thus, we present to you our first imaginary mascot, Twitchy the Martyr, the mascot for Jihad A&M University. Lovingly by LSUFreek with some degree of homage to Hoodwinked.

Tasteful: Twitchy the Martyr, and his adoring fans. They take the field with a BOOM!

I think he’d be more appropriate as Will Muschamp’s personal mascot. Boom motherfucker, indeed.

Oh good, we really could use a pro-Jihad presence on this board. I hope when the Fatwa is declared that the correct Orson Swindle is identified. Then again I don’t spend a significant portion of my day reading his blog so maybe not. BTW, I hope you do not have a road trip planned to Denmark in the near future.

It would appear Twitchy used to be a righty but dropped a few digits in a previous “celebration”. Nice to see he learned to go to his left.
Also liking the Flava Flav clock so we all know what time it is, Boy.

The only offensive thing in this picture is that it would make more sense for the gentleman with the camera to be at the 20, not the 40.

Scratch that. Reports are just coming in but it seems Charlie Weis went on a rampage after being told there were no pies left. His last known whereabouts- somewhere in the middle-east.

One of the best traditions in college football is Jihad A+M’s “exploding of the bonfire, symbolic of the future of our infidel foes” the night before the annual game with University of Jihad.

The Jihad U Imams had to change their name to the Hawks after the Bedouin tribes petitioned the Middle East Collegiate Athletic Association, saying it was disparaging to their heritage.

SCHOOL FIGHT SONG
We are the Shiites of Persia
P E R S I A
Where girls are the virgin iest
And boys are jihad – iest
Of any war-torn country our way
Hey!
We are all strong for Muhaaaa- med
Down where the old terrorists pray
Go Muqtada Al-Sadr!
In all kinds of weather,
Well be blown up together
For 40 virgins and P E R S – I – A
Go Shiites!
