NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

It has gotta be the SLUG! It has *ALL* the advantages you attribute to the
aardvark, and more!

1. Slugs are found *everywhere* in the habitable earth and Canada. (If you
   are in short supply locally, let me know. I'll be glad to send you some.)
   Everybody on the net can have one!

2. With slugs, everybody can tailor their mascot to their regional preference.
   Seattlites can have leopard slugs, Californians banana or blonde (or even
   Zayante Hump-backed) slugs, and divers sea slugs. Why, even printers,
   shooters, brawlers, drinkers, and pre-metric British physicists can have 
   slugs! (Agoraphobes, of course, will have snails instead.)

3. With a pocketful of slugs, you can get sodas real cheap from vending
   machines! Ever try to stuff an aardvark into a coin slot??
