Alberto
the Albino Valentine Mouse
Served
Loyally as Syndicate Mascot:
February 15, 2001 to February 26, 2001
Every
mid February couples everywhere tear their hair out looking for the perfect
gift while singles stock up on tissues for a night of lonely tears. Yes,
Valentine's Day is indeed a horrifying and exhausting holiday. Who better
to help the Syndicate celebrate than a near blind, pasty-white mouse?
I can't answer that question, and I don't expect anyone to do so.
 Alberto
was found digging through our garbage cans out back when we found him.
He had misplaced his favorite pencil set and was looking for a new one,
or so he said. The little guy was just too cute clutching that little
heart in his hands. The heart, actually, was a reject from a little homemade
Valentine's card making session the night before. What fun that was!
 We
placed Alberto neatly in a cage crafted from macaroni, Elmer's Glue, and
glitter. We took as many pictures as we could of the little rodent and
deemed him our new mascot, after our previous mascot Paul
the Paranoid Snowman had completely melted (leaving quite a mess in
the employee lounge, I might add). The Syndicate was almost ready to celebrate
its first birthday, and Alberto was like a little gift from nowhere.
Now, aside
from all that cute-ness crap, Alberto was one mean little mouse.
Sure the guy was cute on the outside, but he loved to point out peoples'
flaws. The rodent would never shut up about how much he thought the site
needed a new staff.
Needless
to say, he only stayed around a for eleven days. No chance he'll be featured
here again.
