Mosaic Who’s Who

On today’s episode of the show, we will be highlighting the species known as the Rider Pridicus. This wonderful species, although not limited to it, has a natural habitat of grassland named Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field. You can distinguish a Rider Pridicus by its beautiful green and white coat, and it can be seen migrating to its natural habitat 10 (this year 11) times a year. Below are some of the sub-species of the Rider Pridicus.

The Elvis Impersonatoricus
-This bird of the species can be seen out in the middle of the habitat, but usually resides in its nest in Section 25. Its wonderful song can be heard from time to time within the habitat.

The Gainer Mascoticus
-A large brown rodent like creature, it can be seen roaming the habitat on game day entertaining the fans, and amusing the next sub species below.

The Gainer Watchiticus
-Usually the younger of the species who, at times, are not too concerned with the play on the grassland, but do love seeing the big brown furry animal that we call Gainer.

The Wolf 104.9 Hot Tub Girl Droolovericus
-This sub species can usually be seen donning a pair of binoculars to get a closer glimpse of the Hot Tub Girlicus. This herd has been known to attempt conversation with the Hot Tub Girlicus for the purpose of mating; however, their calls usually are to no avail.

The Super Fan Dressupicus
-The additional plumage that adorns its standard green and white feathers can identify this flock. The leader of this flock is a bird we call RickyG and his plumage has been seen changing from season to season and continues to evolve. Other add-ons include some of the flock adorning watermelon skins on their heads, some paint their faces green, others wear crazy hats, and some even shed their feathers to allow for lettering on their bare skin. Usually, these few can be seen in the same tree in the order of GO RIDERS. This flock is, from time to time, highlighted on the habitat’s SaskTel Max Tron.

The Heckle The Other Teamicus
-Although spread throughout the grassland habitat, a large herd of this sub species can be found directly behind the opposing bench. Not all visitors to the habitat can hear their calls, but they are at times quite humorous. The largest number of these calls can usually be heard when a opposing herd of horses invade the habitat, largely due to one of the horses that wears a 1 on its jersey.

The Bomber Fanicus
-Much like the locust, this pest only comes around at certain times, most noticeably on the Labour Day long weekend. We find them sprinkled around the habitat; however, you will be able to distinguish them by their drab blue and gold coats. Thankfully, after a short period of annoyance they return to their own habitat not to return again for another year.

The Travel from Afaricus
-This sub species migrates many, many miles just to attend a game, and is always a welcome addition to the habitat.

The Go For Beer To Damn Muchicus
-Some question why these animals even attend the games, as much of their time spent at the habitat involves the retrieval and consumption of beer. The part that bothers most other inhabitants of the grassland is the frequency and poor timing of said trips to the watering hole. Other members of the species also refer to them as the Sit The Hell Down Alreadyicus.

The above sub species has two very close relatives:

The Go to Take a Wiz to Muchicus
-Although it is a natural act of nature, some feel they may actually be the above sub species but evolved.

The Streaker Idioticus
-This animal we know for sure is the evolved version of the Go For Beer To Damn Muchicus. It sheds its skin and roams free on the open grassland of the Mosaic habitat. The natural foe of the Streaker Idioticus is the Police Arrestyourassiscus

The Bitch All The Darn Timeicus
-With no real regard for what is taking place on the grassland, this sub species will continue to bitch all game long about almost anything. Other members of the herd may also refer to this sub species as The Sit the Hell Down and Shutupicus.

Similar to but not the same

The Change The Quaterbackicus
-If by chance the team goes three and out twice in a row at the start of the game, you will hear the distinctive and often annoying call of this herd.

Closely related to both of the above, but deserved of its own sub species

The Why Are They Not Using Chris Szarkaicus
-Although at times their call rings true to others of the herd, often the repetitiveness of their call gets on the nerves of other members of the habitat.


The Leave Earlyicus
-Some of this flock may actually have a good reason, but others tend to out migrate with ten minutes left on the clock and the home herd only down by 14. Many of the fellow inhabitants can’t really understand this herd. This flock is also known as the Part Time Fanicus.

The Boo Your Own Teamicus
-One of the most confused members of the species, some hope their numbers actually will become extinct this year.

And finally

The Rest And Most Of Usicus
-Those that are there to take in the habitat for all its glory, in high anticipation of a great win by the home herd, thus sending those that only come to visit the habitat known as Mosaic Stadium at Taylor field back to their own part of the world. Whether it be a mangy pride of lions, a group of pesky nomadic Eskimos, a raggedy herd of horses from the west, a mangy flock of eastern birds, a shipwrecked boat of sailors, a flea-bitten herd of tiger cats, or a derelict group of rag tags with large W’s on their heads, the home dwellers of the grassland are glad to see them all go.

Today’s Lyrics

“I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?”

If you by chance do not get the above parody ask someone over 30, they will fill you in.
