Axes & Alleys: As Glorious as the Pants of God.

Hey kids, it’s Alouicious the Alien!

This month the editorial board of Axes & Alleys met and decided that we didn’t need a mascot for our magazine. Several ideas were submitted for what our mascot shouldn’t be: Lucy the Snail, Darius the Wolf-Man Crab, Umberto the Fixed Wing Aircraft and Hambone the Abstract Concept. In the end there was really only one good choice for what our mascot shouldn’t be.

Now we’re making it official. The one mascot we will definitely never have to represent our magazine is Alouicious the Alien. Good old Alouicious the Alien embodies everything we despise about mascots. We will never have a mascot and we can say proudly that that mascot will definitely never be Alouicious the Alien. So look forward to many years of your favorite tractor repair and maintenance magazine not being represented by a cute little mascot named Alouicious the Alien. God, we hate mascots.

The lovely Amy Acker portrayed the
character of Fred on the slightly
un-popular WB TV show Angel. We
liked her best when she was evil and
had blue hair.
