My buddies "kidnapped" the Wiener King mascot, a five foot orange fiberglass potato-like creature with matchstick legs called "The Hungry." The Hungry lived in our dorm room for two years. We decorated it for all the major holidays. We left it when we graduated. Kind of wish one of us had taken it home with our diploma.
