Tried that, ruled it out. No Bears, Bruin's or any derivative of them I could ascertain. Your results may vary though.

These four friends represented by these four mascots will team up with 12131 and will start a scholarship program at a school in Houston Texas.

Terms of endearment the orangutan used when referring to the Astros infield during game five of the 2017 World Series.

The order of the four schools that 12131 has arranged for the epic reunion tour of Para's band "Bad Mayonnaise", which will end in Houston with a YUGE bash on Christmas Eve...with all proceeds going to fund the invasion of Denmark (or what ever country in that region...I can't remember)...where a school will be set up to teach civics...

Hey...it could happen!

Now...I will have another cup of coffee and ponder these clues further...probably to the point of not remembering to eat until Christmas Eve Razz

These four friends represented by those mascots...have/will join with 12131 to establish a school or program to which they will volunteer their time and resources to help those of Vietnamese/Asian descent legally wanting to become American citizens reach that goal...

And y'all are mentors.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I want to see if anyone else has it too before I post it publicly.

Please include me in the karma -- I love these threads of yours!

You're the Orangutan. JALLEN is the Longhorn (which he used to have for his avatar). Clubleaf is the Tiger. And I'm assuming the cougar and bear also refer to other members, based on their current/former avatar photos.

So you have in common that you're all members of this forum, and I'm guessing you all attended the same school in Houston?

*Clue #5*: MASCOTS. Yes, mascots. So, if you're thinking zoo, you're way off. Here's another hint. Each successive clue is supposed to help you narrow things down. Wink

Btw, I'm loving all the attempts, so far. Razz

Okay, next guess:

You're still the Organgutan.

The other four animals all represent colleges that are located in Houston, or who have satellite campuses in Houston:

University of Texas Longhorns - UTHealth School of Nursing

University of Houston Cougars

Texas Southern University Tigers

Baylor University Bears - Baylor College of Medicine


My guess is that you've either attended classes at, or worked at, all four of those colleges, or at hospitals affiliated with all four of those colleges? (IIRC, you were/are employed in the healthcare field.)

Or alternately, you've had medical procedures performed at hospitals in Houston affiliated with all four of those colleges?

They are all friends of yours that have dressed up in the mascot costumes of their respective schools...

They dressed up as Orbit the Houston Astro's mascot...

Bisleyblackhawk
All five if y'all have dressed as mascots from your respective schools...and represented your schools in the Houston Astro's World Series parade...

Now I'm obsessing Big Grin

You are the physician who treated Dallas Keuchel's injured foot and the other four are serving their residency at the hospital under you...

NOW...I'm really obsessing Wink Razz
