We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Thank you Aims! Also, my googling informs me the Common Loon is our national bird. Well, that or the Goose, I'm not sure.

Trust my rage
My grandparents had a cabin in the woods of Wisconsin and when visiting, at night, I would fall asleep listening to the loons. So cool.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Thanks to all of you, I have tracked down the black and white bird that I see a lot around here, and I think it's a black-billed magpie.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ooh, lucky! I love magpies.

Mercer, WI, claims to be the loon capital of the world. Which I find completely plausible.

Georgia's state bird is the brown thrasher, a nondescript brown bird that gets its name from thrashing about in leaves to find insects. Georgia also has a state game bird, the quail.

From the story about fandom:
Yeah for star wars it’s definitely the light saber. The extent to which people wield these at conventions, weddings, premiers and jedi-themed bar mitzvahs clearly illustrates the symbolism of this weapon. It’s not a costume but it’s definitely a totem
made me laugh (jedi-themed bar mitzvahs?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 had a post about craxiest fandom, and I really should have voted for Star Wars. I forgot about how much they'd encroached into religion.

I dunno. I'm not sure anything beats LoTR.
