In a moment of supreme holiday football-induced delirium, I got it in my head today that somewhere there must be a college called Pudu State, or at least that Pudu State gear would look kinda cool.

Curious, I went to the old CafePress store, which I haven’t bothered with in a couple of years, and made up a logo for a sweatshirt for myself.

Btw, if anyone asks, the team is called the Foraging Ungulates, and the school’s official colors are ecru, buff, and khaki. Other teams in the conference include Duiker College, Muntjac University, Dik-Dik School of Cosmetology, and Klipspringer A&M.

And I may have eaten too much tryptophan today.

Still, there might be between five and fifty readers of this site who might want something similar as an odd impulse gift of their own, especially with the holiday shopping season bearing down on us all. So, what the heck — CafePress made it ridiculously easy to proliferate the idea across all sorts of interesting swag. Consider the idea shared.

While I was at it, I also tried out the old Robert Indiana tribute Pudu logo, which looks surprisingly cool on handbags, dog T-shirts, and other things I wouldn’t have expected.

If anyone actually buys any of this stuff, I’ll make a dollar or two on every sale, which I’ll put toward this site’s monthly upkeep.

I’ve also put a couple of the old products up, just in case somebody wants a 12-language office clock or a T-shirt that simply says "Impeach."

Whether or not you click over to the CafePress store and show your alumni pride in the Foraging Ungulate Nation… happy post-Thanksgiving compulsory shopping trauma period, everybody.

PS — CafePress has a banner ad they want sellers to run for the next few days, shouting about free shipping on orders over $75. But I hate giant banner ads, so here – click away if you like:
