OK, here's a recap of our mascot presentation.
Pru was going to make a felted octopus as our mascot, but she only finished the head and one leg. We wernt going to do anything with but I figured we should at least bring it. So we quickly stuffed it and sewed it's one leg on.
As we were sitting in the ballroom in the morning, I came up with the idea to do an infomercial for our firm a la "Larry H Parker". Our octopus, Octavius Octo was our client "spokesperson" who had was injured in a maritime accident and was now a Septapallegic.
So, Pru did the whole "have you been injured in a maritime accident? Nemo and Nemo can help you" (it was brilliant) and the whole room was laughing. After the initial spiel, I spoke for Octo and said "Nemo and Nemo got me 3 million clams", then Pru closed the spiel.
We came pretty close to winning, but the "Year of a Million Churos" got a bit more audience support. I would imagine they might know a few more people then we did.
After they won, we yelled "APPEAL".
