In short, they meet the taxidermist. 

The longhorn mascot tradition began in 1916 when a Texas ex named Stephen Pinckney, who picked apart cattle rustling gangs while at the U.S. attorney general’s office, discovered an orange-furred longhorn during a raid in Laredo.

With contributions of $1 from 124 alumni, Pinckney bought the animal and brought it to Austin where it was presented to the student body during halftime of the Texas A&M game.

An online poll of mascots shows Bevo trailing only Keggy the Keg — Dartmouth’s unofficial mascot — as the nation’s best. No. 3 is Handsome Dan, the Yale bulldog, and fourth is the University of California at Santa Cruz’s banana slug.

Bevo I eventually became the barbecued main dish for the January 1920 football banquet. But Brennes assures Bevo XIII “will not be eaten.”

Baker said he will preserve Bevo XIII as a shoulder mount.

What’s worst?  Getting stuffed or suffering the fate of the first Bevo, getting fattened up and eatened.

Laser TV produces a picture which features deep blacks, rich colour and almost 3D-like picture depth complete with a full high definition resolution of 1920 x 1080.

Laser TVs are up to 30 per cent cheaper to produce which could result in products being available to the consumer thousands of dollars cheaper especially in the larger screen sizes.

Laser TV has a number of advantages over plasma which includes being a third lighter and using 25 per cent less power.

Plasmas, which are filled with phosphorous gases, on some occasions have been known to suffer ‘burn in’ when displaying static images for extended periods – a problem Laser TV owners will not have to worry about.

Laser TV can also display fast moving images without ghosting or image smearing, a drawback for some LCD screens with slow response times.

LCD and plasmas can produce about half the colour gamut, which is the amount of colour which can be viewed by the human eye, whereas Laser TV can produce up to 90 per cent.

MASON – Three county inmates in the jail here lay on their bunks, not saying much.

They wore pink jumpsuits and pink slippers, and one was wrapped in pink sheets. They were surrounded by pink bars and pink walls.

They were not comfortable.

Despite the cramped condition of the tiny jail, the inmates said sitting there was better than working outside, where they might be seen by people they know. Using pink uniforms in a pink jail is a small step to deter inmates from ever wanting to spend more time in the Mason County Jail, which might be getting too old to operate, said Sheriff Clint Low.
