Ok, so someone mentioned "geoducks" in a community I'm on. I had never heard of them, so I looked it up.

The geoduck is the official mascot of the Evergreen State College, located at the southernmost tip of Puget Sound in Olympia, Washington. The school's Latin motto, Omnia Extares (or, "let it all hang out") is probably intended as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the creature's appearance.

They have them in Chinatown. You should see them move.

See, another reason to visit the Evergreen State.

Evergreen State College, near where I live, even named their sports teams the Geoducks. (which is pronounced, as I'm sure the site mentioned: "gooey-duck.")
