Earl III was a good little mascot, but he had a troubled past. His grandfather, Earl, took a permantent sabatacle to Brazil. His father, Earl II, just disappeared. It wasn't long until his past caught up with him, and poor little Earl III turned to a life of crime.

According to our sources, Earl III swiped the beloved sunglasses our section chair, Phil, early the morning of July 29, 2000. What exactly he did with these glasses can only be imagined, but from the pictures below, you can believe it was rather interesting.

On the stairwell post

And finally, on Earl III

Why did Earl III do it? Those who know him best can only blame it on heridity. Maybe he will turn for the better. Maybe he will become one of the "Secret Few". Maybe he will run away from home as his predecesors have. And all we can say is "Go Earl, great gag for a little guy!"
