Which Proposed Turkey Mascot Name Are You?

If you are the reluctant owner of a @college.harvard.edu email address, you received a poll from the HUA about whether we should have a turkey mascot and what it should be named. Putting aside the general absurdity of this event — A turkey? Linking is gone, course registration is in November, and we have to deal with a turkey? — Flyby is doing what we do best and telling you which of these options you can align yourself with, in ~quiz form~.

Mostly A’s: John

You’re into classic Harvard. John Harvard, John Turkey. John Turkeyvard? A no-brainer. Actually. No brains were involved in the making of this option.

Mostly B’s: Trottie

Like Trottie Turkey, you are a go-getter. You’re always on the move. You’re a big fan of an unnecessary “ie” rather than “y.” You go, Trottie.

Mostly C’s: Remy

Like Remy Turkey, you’re shortsighted (Remy is not immortal, unfortunately) and/or you like cats too much. Tinder is free and easy to use <3

Mostly D’s: Tami

If you’re into Tami Turkey, the only overtly feminine turkey name on the roster (hmm…), you are a STAUNCH FEMINIST. Thanks for your support, queen.

Mostly E’s: Talon

Like Talon Turkey, you are very literal and very vicious. If people disagree with you about the best name for the turkey, you’ll slash them with your claws. Or just sort of glare at them.

Mostly F’s: Allston

Like Allston Turkey, you’re a visionary! You’re passionate about gentrification urban planning and you aren’t afraid to show it. Make sure to express your enthusiasm for Allston Turkey next time you’re on the shuttle to the SEC.
