That was pretty funny. Too bad Beamer and Rattler were the only ones I could recognize from the whole thing.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
COLUMBIA, S.C. “Cocky” will now be joined by “The General” at South Carolina football games this fall. The school announced Monday that its live, crowing rooster mascot will have a new name going forward.
South Carolina's live rooster mascot has been renamed "The General"
South Carolina's live rooster mascot has a new name after a dispute about its appearance ruffled some feathers.
The university chose "The General" to recognize Thomas Sumter, a general in the South Carolina militia during the Revolutionary War, whose nickname, "Fighting Gamecock," inspired the name for South Carolina's athletic teams.
The name change for the rooster, previously known as "Sir Big Spur," stemmed from a disagreement between its current and former owners. The only issue was the rooster's comb, the fleshy crest above his head. Previous owners Mary Snelling and Ron Albertelli clipped Sir Big Spur's comb to amplify his appearance as a fighter. But current owners Beth and Van Clark have kept the mascot's comb, which helps cool rosters, who are unable to sweat.
"If they're truly going to fight, they take off the combs because that's one more part that can bleed," Albertelli told The [Charleston] Post and Courier. "The comb always stands out in a picture of a barnyard rooster, but Sir Big Spur is a Fighting Gamecock."
